Product Description
The Juniper Networks® NFX Series Network Services Platform includes the NFX150 and NFX250, offering secure, standards-compliant customer premises devices that simplify the creation and delivery of network services. This enables service providers to deliver innovative managed services with agility and scale, while allowing enterprises to automate and accelerate branch network connectivity.
More than ever, enterprises rely on the Internet to support their business operations. This increasing dependence on the Internet to access geographically distributed data centers and the multitude of mission-critical cloud-based applications has made branch offices difficult to manage, maintain, and upgrade. Rapid business expansion, both local and international, also creates new challenges for branch office deployment and connectivity. Enterprises require a solution that can create branches on demand, accelerate service deployment, and instantly apply business updates and security policies consistently across a diverse and growing number of business applications and branch locations.
While traditional customer premises equipment (CPE) devices have served the market well for years, many of these devices are closed, Layer 2 purpose-built platforms that do not provide the flexibility, agility, or scalability required to support a flexible cloud deployment. As a result, these devices often inhibit innovation and complicate or, even worse, restrict the ability to automate configuration and provisioning management.
The NFX Series highly scalable, open, and secure customer premises devices work with Juniper Contrail® Service Orchestration to deliver fully automated SD-WAN, secure router, and Cloud CPE solutions. Whether you are an enterprise business or a service provider, this automated, software-driven solution dynamically provisions new services, enabled by Juniper or third-party virtualized network functions (VNFs), on demand, resulting in near instantaneous service delivery. Its Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) capability greatly simplifies branch network connectivity for initial deployment and ongoing management. Subsequent service updates and policy changes are consistently and dynamically inserted into the existing device, resulting in operational efficiency for service providers and enterprise customers alike by limiting or even eliminating service interruptions and business disruptions.
