Features:		Benefits:
Carrier-class reliability		EX Series Ethernet switches leverage the same field-proven Juniper technology — including high-performance ASICs, a carrier-class system architecture, and JUNOS Software — that powers the world's largest service provider networks.
Security risk management		EX Series Ethernet switches tightly integrate with Juniper's Unified Access Control (UAC) solution, dynamically delivering network protection, guest access and identity-based QoS based on user, device, and location.
Personality switching		Enables personality changes between SSL VPN and NAC (UAC). Administrators can reconfigure a MAG Series gateway from one mode of operation to another, potentially alleviating the need to purchase new hardware. For example, the MAG Series gateway could be set for NAC (UAC) one day and as SSL VPN the next.
Performance		Each of the EX Series Ethernet switches deliver wire-speed performance on all ports for any packet size. For instance, the EX8200 modular Ethernet switches deliver up to 128 wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports per chassis with nearly 2 billion packets per second throughput—the ideal Ethernet switch platform for next-generation data centers.
Virtualization		Virtual Chassis technology, currently available on the EX4200 line of Ethernet switches, allows up to 10 Ethernet switches to be interconnected and managed as a single, logical device, delivering the reliability, scalability, and manageability of traditional chassis-based systems in a cost-effective, compact platform.
Application control		The EX Series Ethernet switches support eight QoS queues per port, ensuring proper prioritization of control plane, voice, video, and multiple levels of data traffic — with room to converge other networks, such as building automation and video security systems.
Lower total cost of ownership		The innovations of the EX Series Ethernet switches enable new architectures that reduce cost and complexity. Unified management and automation tools consolidate system monitoring and maintenance and save time and money.

QFabric Family of Products

From the high-performance QFX3500 top-of-rack switch to the full QFabric system, which supports thousands of ports within a single-tier, ultra-low latency and highly resilient fabric, Juniper delivers a wide variety of solutions designed to accelerate and simplify the data center network.

		The Juniper Networks QFabric family of products offers a revolutionary approach that delivers quantum leap improvements in data center performance, operating costs, and business agility for enterprises, high-performance computing systems, and large-scale cloud providers. The QFabric family implements a single-tier network in the data center, enabling exponential improvements in speed, scale and efficiency by removing legacy barriers and improving business agility.

		QFabric System The highly scalable, ultra-low latency QFabric System supports thousands of ports within a single-tier data center or cloud, enabling any-to-any connectivity with the simplicity of a single, highly resilient switch.
		QFX3500 Switch High-performance, ultra-low latency, feature-rich L2/L3 switch delivers wire-speed 10GbE throughput and standards-based Fibre Channel I/O convergence capabilities for the most demanding data center environments while providing a fabric-ready solution for Juniper's QFabric System.
Features:		Benefits:
Performance		The QFabric architecture can scale up to 40 Tbps, providing unprecedented capacity for moving beyond 10GbE at the access layer. In addition, QFabric’s ultra-low deterministic latency provides an order of magnitude improvement over traditional network architectures, making it ideal for supporting latency-sensitive applications, east-west traffic flows, virtualization, cloud computing, and other high-performance data center initiatives.
Management		Presenting itself as a single switch running the Junos operating system, the QFabric architecture greatly simplifies data center management. Fewer switches in the data center translates into significantly less complexity and operational expense, as well as lower power, space, and cooling costs. As a reliable carrier-class solution with no single point of failure and requiring no downtime for reconfiguration and maintenance, the QFabric architecture also maximizes network availability.
Scale		The QFabric architecture supports a highly efficient "pay-as-you-grow" model that can scale from a few hundred ports to 6,000 ports within a single-tier network. QFX3500 Switches can be introduced into data centers incrementally as top-of-rack devices, interoperating with the current switch infrastructure. Over time, the QFX3500s can be converted to a QFabric Node edge device through a simple software configuration change, allowing customers to transition to a QFabric solution without requiring a wholesale replacement of the existing network.
Green solution		The QFabric architecture is environmentally conscious, allowing enterprises to optimize every facet of the data center network while consuming less power, requiring less cooling, and producing a fraction of the carbon footprint of legacy multi-tiered data center networks. QFabric complies with the following standards: Reduction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) responsible solution.
