High-Performance Business Requirements
Today’s high-performance businesses demand a
high-performance network infrastructure that provides
fast, secure and reliable delivery of the applications
that drive business processes. Switches deployed in
regional oces, campuses and data centers enable
these business processes by connecting users to
applications, delivering everything from traditional
file services to telephony, messaging, presence, video
conferencing and Web services.
To fill this critical role, network infrastructure switches must:
• Be highly available to ensure uninterrupted, uncompromised delivery of
business processes in the event of failures and outages
• Support unified data, voice, messaging, presence and video
communications on a single IP infrastructure
• Integrate security functions traditionally implemented in appliances to
defend against malicious, sophisticated attacks and optimize application
response times
• Deliver operational excellence by delivering consistency and simplicity
across the infrastructure to reduce total cost of ownership

Unfortunately, most contemporary switches don’t meet these requirements. Designed
and installed over several years, these switches—deployed in multiple layers across
the network—fall short of delivering the performance, scalability and wire-speed
port densities that today’s converged networks demand. Multiple switch layers add
considerable cost, delay and complexity to the network, which in turn drives capital and
operational expenses ever higher.
Enterprises need a new approach—a strategic, innovative solution that allows them
to spend less on their network infrastructure and more on revenue-generating and
productivity-enhancing technologies that help them gain a competitive edge.
Juniper Networks® oers such a solution—a new class of Ethernet switches for the enterprise,
designed specifically to meet the demands of today’s high-performance businesses. The
Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches are changing the game, delivering the next
generation of switching technology for today’s—and tomorrow’s—networks.
With the EX Series, businesses can deploy a cost-eective family of switches that delivers the
high availability (HA), unified communications, integrated security and operational excellence
they need today, while providing a platform for supporting the requirements of tomorrow.
Welcome to the future of enterprise switching.

The Juniper Networks EX Series
Ethernet Switches
The Juniper Networks EX3200, EX4200, and EX8200 Ethernet switches exhibit five key
characteristics that, working together, deliver a true enterprise switching solution: carrier-
class reliability, security risk management, network virtualization, application control, and
reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

operating system—that power the world’s largest service provider networks.
The result is a robust, time-tested and highly reliable network infrastructure

Security Risk Management: The Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet
l
a
u
Switches are fully compatible with the Juniper Networks Unified Access
t

V
Control (UAC), delivering an extra layer of security by first authenticating

users and performing virus checks, then enforcing precise, end-to-end security
policies that determine who can access what network resources, as well
as quality of service (QoS) policies to ensure delivery of business processes.
Integrated anomaly-based threat detection provides additional protection by
identifying and blocking distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
Network Virtualization: The EX Series switches feature Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis
technology, which enables up to 10 EX4200 switches to be interconnected and operate
as a single system. With Virtual Chassis technology, users get the reliability, availability
and high-port densities of traditional chassis-based systems in a cost-effective, compact
form factor—the best of both worlds. The EX Series switches also support generic routing
encapsulation (GRE) tunneling for sending mirrored traffic from remote locations to
monitoring devices in the network operations center for centralized troubleshooting and
analysis, or to build segregated overlay networks without the challenges associated with
Spanning Tree.
