Juniper Networks QFabric sets new Standard

Juniper Networks has set a new standard for data center network scale, performance and interoperability with record-breaking test results for QFabric, Juniper's single layer data center architecture and foundation for the new network. QFabric delivers the high performance required for big data and computationally intensive applications. The independent test, conducted by Network Test with support from Spirent Communications, is the industry's largest yet at 1,536 10GE ports - a port count that covers a wide range of enterprise and service provider data centers.

David Newman, Founder, Network Test said, "This test sets a new high-water mark in data center networking performance. To show data traffic moving on this scale is a huge deal. As data volumes continue to explode, enterprises will need to rethink current data center network design and infrastructure."

R. K. Anand, Executive VP & GM, Data Center Business Unit, Juniper Networks said, "This test marks an inflection point in the way information is managed in the data center. The test itself is several times larger than any previous test, and shows how easily QFabric scales from medium to large-scale data centers with the elegance and operational simplicity of a single device. These results are a big milestone for the big data market and the massive needs of a burgeoning cloud market."
