The traditional way of looking at the network has become outdated. Need more bandwidth? Add a
box. Need Advanced Security? Add a box. Are those boxes adding an unforeseen problem? Add
yet another box. This is the way things have traditionally been viewed by network architects for the
past 40 years. An approach based mainly on hardware cannot sustain the increasing demands on
the network. Different boxes cannot always communicate well with each other. If we continue
down this path things are only going to get worse. As complexity increases, the network is more
likely to break, and costs are going to go up. Adding another box is not the solution.

The industry has to start thinking beyond the box approach. As networks grow and continue to be
more significant in our everyday lives, the traffic and devices on the network need to be handled
more efficiently and more cost effectively.
Our competitors have continued to stack box on box to try to solve problems. Different colored
boxes with different operating systems and different standards that dont always work together
very well. So if adding another piece of hardware is not the solution then what is?
You and your customers have to rethink the traditional, closed, silo design to networking and
address the issues with an open, horizontal, platform view of the network.
Its going to be a challenge. But with challenge comes opportunity!

SAFJUN01F

www.juniper.net | 13

Juniper Networks has always thought differently about the network. Whereas our competitors have
trended towards a box-on-box, multiple operating system approach; Juniper sees that this leads to
spiraling layers of complexity in customer networks.
We have purposely driven our strategy to simplify the network through specific investment and
new development looking towards convergence. Over more than a decade Juniper has evolved
Junos software as a single, end-to-end, high-performance operating platform of the network to
deliver routing, switching, security, services and cloud. This approach in how we innovate is
fundamentally different than our competitors enabling our customers to build their networks and
deliver new services in converged offerings with simplicity of operations and reduced costs.
Lets listen to Juniper Networks founder and CTO, Pradeep Sindhu, discuss Junipers approach to
these challenges.

How Competitors Manage the Complexity

2012 Juniper Networks, Inc. All rights reserved.

CONFIDENTIAL

SAFJUN01F

www.juniper.net | 15

The legacy networking providers approach has been hardware oriented. Sell another box to fix
another problem. As these vendors acquire companies and add more products they are also
adding more operating systems, more proprietary software, more complexity, and more problems.
Complexity IS their strategy! Theyll sell more boxes. The customer must pay for a lot of services
and support to integrate and make it all work.
But this puts the customer in a constant state of upgrading, testing, and maintaining. The operating
systems may need to be individually tailored, and it is unknown how changes, bugs, and upgrades
on one box will affect the others. More boxes get sold to attempt to fix problems, but complexity
and cost increases, while customer satisfaction decreases. The bottom line for customers?
Chronic complexity management.

Junos provides a simpler approach with fewer issues. When talking about Junos to customers,
partners, etc., we need to think outside of the normal box conversation. The discussion needs to
be more about selling a solution rather than just another box. Junos software is changing the way
we should be looking at the whole network experience.
As we stated earlier, Junos is much more than an operating system; it is a simplified, common
language that provides a consistent user experience across multiple devices. With Junos you get
consistent core functionality that scales from the smallest to the largest device on the network.
It is based on open standards so it integrates seamlessly into the network, even with our
competitors products. Customers can move, over time, to a network with fewer problems and
lower cost.

SAFJUN01F

www.juniper.net | 17

Thinking boxes first limits your design perspective.


Rather than being about bottoms up deployment of boxes, migrating to the open platform
approach of Junos takes customers to a new way of network design. The layered, converged
platform approach of Juniper is about looking at the network as a whole from the top-down
perspective of customer needs.
Providing a platform approach based on layers of silicon, system, and software, allows Juniper to
deliver a complete solution supporting many applications. With Junipers focus on innovation in
software running on silicon and systems layers built with the headroom capacity for innovation,
customers can meet many new requirements for new services delivery through the flexibility and
lower costs of software changes alone.
Moreover, Juniper opens the door to third party innovation and integration by offering a set of
Junos software development kits to partners so they can release even more value from their
network.

The foundational component of the Junos software platform is the Junos operating system. Running
a single operating system across devices makes the day-to-day operation of the network less
complex. The IT staff can focus on rolling out new deployments and maintaining the network,
making better use of their time and effort. With a steady release of new features and a modular
architecture they have predictable performance and the ability to streamline their tasks through
automation. They can evolve their current network infrastructure rather than adding box on top of
box.
This provides a consistent user experience for the IT staff and lower costs for the customer.

Lets talk about how the Juniper approach can affect operating costs.
This slide shows the results of a Forrester Consulting study looking at the total cost of ownership
when using the Junos operating system. As you can see, the financial impact can be dramatic,
with as much as a 41% combined savings.
Any network will experience its share of unplanned and planned events. But a Junos environment
will experience fewer unplanned events with less time needed to recover. Planned events such as
system maintenance take less time and effort to complete. New deployments are also handled
more efficiently.
The Junos operating system is time-tested and stable, making unplanned events less frequent and
of shorter duration. Having a common language across multiple devices makes maintenance tasks
less time consuming and more efficient. It also takes less effort when deploying new products as
they will work seamlessly with the existing infrastructure including management and operations
systems.
This results in increased network stability, less down time, a shorter life-cycle for planning and
provisioning, and an overall lower cost of ownership.

In summary, Juniper Networks provides an approach that is different from the competition.
The competitions box-on-box approach involves multiple solutions, multiple products, and
multiple operating systems. This results in increased complexity and interoperability issues. More
boxes are thrown at the problem to address the issues that will ultimately arise.
Junipers focus is to move towards converging multiple technologies to create a new network.
This will create a network of less complexity and more interoperability. Less cost but more
performance. Juniper is looking to change the experience and economics of the network.
All this is made possible by migrating to Junos. Juniper Networks delivers simplicity, scale and
service innovation from one operating platform. This one operating platform provides a common
user experience with consistent core functionality across the network. The result is less complexity
for the IT staff and less cost for the customer.

The operational benefits of Junos OS derive from a dedicated focus on simplified, error-resilient
tasks across all operations functions along with the reliability, performance, and security of its
design. The hindsight that comes from prior experience has helped Junos OS engineers find
better ways to design operations steps, interfaces, and tools as well as manage upgrades. Many
of these improvements simplify operations and reduce human error through increased automation.
As one example: today, many companies employ persons to do nothing but manage their existing
IOS train. It is hard to believe that today in our economy, that we are still managing in this sort of
fashion. Wouldnt it be easier to just manage one code train? Well, with Junos, we can do just
that! Junos takes the complexity out of managing multiple OS chains. Juniper is known in the
industry for having one release track. So be it a router, switch, or security device, we can run any
of the above with matching Junos code. This makes migration plans much easier to manage, as
well as taking the complexity out of the networking staffs ability to manage subsets of networking
hardware.

In significant contrast to its primary competitors, Juniper extends Junos in a single software
release track under a disciplined process of development. New releases build-up on the prior,
creating a single train delivered in a series of numbered versions.
Each new release supports each product family with the code set optimized for its role and
application in the network. Whenever customers are ready to upgrade, they simply choose and
qualify a higher release number than their current version. Juniper provides over three years of
support for its extended end-of-life releases.

Lets take a look at some of the architecture highlights whats different in the design.
First, the architecture is modular. So, if youre not a software engineer, why do you care about
this? Well, the bottom line here: dedicated resources means high resiliency, which gives you that
incredible high availability that carriers rely on. Small problems dont become big ones, and are
easier to find. So, carrier class is what we have with flexibility for innovation. We can roll out new
functionality by building a new module and putting it into this same model you see here.
Additionally, the software has been designed from the beginning for scalability. System designers
can provided dedicated hardware for different functions where needed, whether its for control,
forwarding, or services, and it still all works as one system. And not only does the architecture
scale up, but it also scales down with flexible packaging for small systems.
A third highlight is the open interfaces for automation and applications development which lets our
partners customize and extend the deployment of Junos to each of their customers unique
environments.

The command-line interface (CLI) is the software interface used to access the device. If you've
used other command-lines, the Junos CLI will look familiar. But, you will also quickly notice that
there are some new and different commands. These differences provide a rich set of new tools
and safeguards that can help your customers to efficiently manage their networks and maintain
high uptime.
Another option for management is J-Web, a powerful web-based management interface available

Think of the commit model as your friend and confidant for everything running Junos software. If
for some reason you commit your configuration and did not want to do so, or fat-fingered your
typing, Juniper has done a lot to make sure you will not be on your bosss list of worst
employees. Juniper has several handy tools that will allow you to immediately erase the changes
you have made to your configuration, and revert to any of up to 50 total revisions of Junos that are
held in flash on the hardware device.
To begin, if you are new to Junos, you need to understand the differences between a candidate
and an active configuration.
Consider the candidate configuration as a blank piece of paper that you can draw on. You can
draw on this paper with a pencil, erase mistakes, make changes, and spot errors that you have
made to your drawing. You can also save changes of your drawing or make a copy of it. In Junos,
this is an example of a candidate configuration. Unlike other systems the changes you make to
Junos will not save in memory with the simple push of the enter key. You will need to make sure
you really want all of your changes to be saved, and then type the word commit before any
changes will be saved to the Active configuration. At the point when the commit command is
entered, the software will check for syntax errors for you and then commit the configuration into
memory. If everything check, only now will your changes become part of the Junos Active running
configuration file. And, if you want to compare the new configuration to any prior configuration,
thats easy to do, along with rolling back to any of the past 50 configurations of the device (without
the need to reboot). Junos even has a way to rollback a configuration if a device somehow
becomes isolated with new configuration changes.

So, what are a few of the key entry points to Junos based sales? A great place to start with your
enterprise customers is the Data Center. Lets take a look at these four sub-bullets. Juniper
provides entry points whether a customer is collapsing switching tiers, looking to scale and
integrate their security, need more speed, or they are just upgrading the backbone of the Data
Center. With Juniper, the customer is going to be able to deploy cost effective equipment with the
port density to collapse tiers all running on a single operating system, Junos and enabling the
virtualization of both the network and security. This is going to lower their requirements for power
and for space, and also reduce the time it takes to manage the network, with Juniper providing a
single operating system and automation tools for managing this equipment.

Upgrades to enable user authentication and access control
VoIP rollouts

Branch office upgrades, including integration of services for routing, security,


voice, and application acceleration
Upgrade of the WAN backbone

The same benefits apply to campus and branch office networks. In these locations there is also
ample opportunity to show your customers how Juniper s approach can benefit their network.
Collapsing multiple network tiers can ease network management , improve performance, and
upgrades or new deployments can be simplified. Win them over by explaining that Juniper
integrates and interoperates with all levels of their existing equipment so they can upgrade and
add to their network over time with little to no disruption.

Do any of your customers have only one vendor in their network? For the most part, probably not.
Just as most of your customers likely have multiple vendors for servers, storage, and other IT
systems, they may want the flexibility to use multiple vendors in the network. And, its likely that
their migration to Juniper solutions will occur over time. So the ease in which Junos interoperates
and integrates into existing infrastructure is essential.
Juniper engineers have long been involved in building open standards for interoperability in
industry organizations. For example, Junos developers have been at the forefront of defining and
implementing MPLS applications, next-generation multicast VPN architectures, and highavailability features such as non-stop active routing and in-service software upgrades.
Junos supports hundreds of networking protocols standards such as spanning tree, LLDP,
OSPF, BGP, IPv6, and MPLS, to name just a few. Nonetheless, the practicalities of interoperability
require that Juniper goes beyond simply implementing the standards. For example, filling in gaps
in cases of differences in interpretation or where de-facto standards are used.
This practical approach is necessary to support the thousands of customers of Junos.
Interoperability between Juniper and other large networking vendors has been proven several
times over, in the best possible way, with live network implementations in the largest networks over
the past decade.

On previous slides we highlighted some of the advantages in operating a network with Junos.
These are going to be key when selling to the operations team. Youre going to want to get these
teams onboard with the Junos decision. After all, any kind of change is going to impact them and
theyre going to have a say in that change. Its going to take them some effort to adopt Junos and
its going to be something that they have to learn. You want them to see the value of making that
changeover. When we talk about what that means to operations teams, the bottom line is that it
can save them time, and allow them to more effectively run a high performance network thats not
going to break as much.
The operations team is different. They care about different things and they want to know: how are
you going to make my day better? We talked a lot about how youre going to make their day
better, but if you can free them up from fire drills, help them automate so that they have fewer
repetitive tasks, so they can get to new and interesting things, and have them spend less time on
fixes and upgrades, you can go in and say, Hey, whats on the backburner now that you cant get
to because of all those mundane tasks you have to do because of how you do things today?
Junos can help you get to the backburner. Let me help you get to those interesting projects and
help your business grow.

We also have several tools to help us sell into Data Center, Campus, and Branch Office locations.
These Financial Analysis Tools (FAT) are designed to show customers the capital and operational
expense savings they could experience when deploying a Juniper infrastructure solution. The tool
should be used live with a customer to stimulate discussion of data center, campus and branch
requirements. Leverage these financial calculators to show, in tangible and relevant terms, the
Juniper solutions' business value. You provide a few inputs to customize the business case for
your customer, the calculators then create graphs and metrics to support the sale. These tools
may be co-branded and hosted on your site for use in sales and marketing programs.
Three flavors of this tool exist:
Data Center Financial Analysis Tool (FAT) - designed to show customers the capital and
operational expense savings they could experience when deploying a Juniper infrastructure
solution in their data center.
Campus Financial Analysis Tool (C-FAT) - designed to show customers the capital and
operational expense savings they could experience when deploying a Juniper infrastructure
solution in their campus environment.
Branch Financial Analysis Tool (B-FAT) - designed to show customers the capital and
operational expense savings they could experience when deploying a Juniper infrastructure
solution in their branch environment.

So when we talk about selling Junos, we must mention that most of Junipers devices in the tool
belt run Junos. So it makes it an extremely easy sell. When we sell into the Data Center, we
should be asking questions about the customers branch office devices, or vice versa. No matter
where in the network we need devices, Juniper has the solution to fit the need, whether it be
routing, security, or switching, Juniper can do it, oh yeah and with the same operating system
trans-versing from device to device. There is no reason to learn separate operating systems as
traditionally fed to network administrators for the past 40 years.
