Juniper Contrail Networking review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I support Cisco ACI the Juniper Contrail competence. I had the good fortune to put in place in the LAB when working at IBM Juniper Contrail. The platform is the same as ACI contains Spine and leaf and the graphical interface is much easier than the competition. It seems to be a very robust solution and cheaper than Cisco. Contrail designs secure, automates, and executes the complete service lifecycle on NFX, EX, SRX, and MX 5G series network services platforms. It integrates and links with Mist Cloud for seamless Wi-Fi management.
Pros
- Contrail Networking automates network resource.
- Providing reliability and agility while extending visibility into your multi-cloud network.
- Advanced analytics capabilities.
Cons
- Not much information from the vendor.
- Not a platform widely used by customers.
Likelihood to Recommend
The platform is good, robust, and scalable. It is much cheaper than Cisco ACI but unfortunately in Argentina, I have never seen this solution installed. You can only test it in a lab. The platform is ideal for NFVI, CSP, and Datacenter.
