Great routers for edge and backbone network connectivity
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We have Juniper Enterprise Routers as the core of our star topology network. There are 35 building with Aruba switches collapsing into the Juniper QFX router. We also use Juniper internet routers for our 10Gig fiber connection. These MX 150 edge routers connect to a Cisco optical box connected to our ISP
Pros
- Junos OS is great. Roll back feature is a life saver
- Powerful, they handle all of our bandwidth needs with ease.
- Dependable, they have not had any issue in the last 5 years.
Cons
- Storm Control needs to have a way to see what going on in the CLI in a more straight forward fashion
- They need a GUI interface much like the old Nortel Network equipment.
- Not the routers fault but support costs have increased.
Likelihood to Recommend
Juniper Enterprise Routers have been very dependable. In the past 5 years we have had no hardware failures. The Junos operating system is very powerful, allowing us test configurations and troubleshoot with ease. Our five year old routers are still able to handle all of our bandwidth demands with ease. They are also interoperable with a wide range of vendors.
