[. . . ] DATASHEET JUNOS SPACE Product Overview Junos Space is an open software platform designed for partner, customer and ISV applications. It consists of: · A scalable runtime environment to host applications · Network infrastructure and operations management applications · Hot-pluggable, multi-tenant environment to enable applications and devices to be dynamically integrated · A simple Web 2. 0 user interface to speed productivity · A complete rapid application development framework for developing simple and smart applications Product Description Juniper Networks® Junos® Space is an open, extensible network platform for developing and hosting applications that reduce cost and complexity and open your network to new business opportunities. [. . . ] Junos Space is a customizable platform that allows users to extend the core functionality to meet specific business needs. Users can also utilize the platform's core services to create mashups for quick deployment and monetization of applications. The Junos Space runtime platform is multi-tenant and enables hot-pluggable applications. Juniper or third-party applications can be added by simply downloading them onto the platform, and the system automatically deploys the applications throughout the fabric, including deploying code to clients. Using the Device Management Interface (DMI) included with the platform, you can also do hot-pluggable device additions and updates, and inservice application and device upgrades to enable you to improve service availability and business continuity. Figure 3 Junos Space platform Easy User Experience: Junos Space provides a Web 2. 0 GUI and is designed to simplify the way you interact with the system. It is based on a task-oriented paradigm and uses persona-based workflows to help you do your administrative tasks quickly and efficiently. Embedded Network Operation Applications Figure 2: Junos Space applications Junos Space provides multiple management and infrastructure applications within its platform, which allow for total management of your Juniper resources and assets, including comprehensive inventory management, full configuration of devices and interfaces, automated management and deployment of software images and event-driven fault management. These platform applications are embedded within the core product. In conjunction with multiple add-on applications, users can control any part of their environment. Scalable and Resilient Runtime Environment: Architected to provide full visibility and control of your network resources, Junos Space enables you to enhance the performance of your network. Junos Space is implemented as a scalable fabric of physical or virtual appliances that work collaboratively to help you optimize network resiliency and resource utilization. You can expand or contract the fabric by simply adding or deleting nodes, and the system automatically starts applications and services on active nodes. Each node is fully utilized and the nodes work together to provide automated resource management. 2 Junos Space will support a full portfolio of Juniper-developed applications for automating network infrastructure and operations. The first three applications available today include the Juniper Networks Ethernet Activator for point-and-click provisioning of point-to-point and multipoint-to-multipoint MPLS VPNs, Juniper Networks Route Insight Manager to enable end-toend network planning, simulation, and diagnostics, and Juniper Networks Service Now, an in-device failure monitoring tool for lights off incident creation to speed problem resolution. Route Insight Manager - Simplified Network Operations · Builds a virtual image of network routing · Provides record/replay for MPLS core · Speeds up troubleshooting · Simulates network changes before making them on the network Ethernet Activator - Service Scaling Speeds Your Time-to-Revenue · Point-and-click interface for rapid Ethernet/MPLS service creation and provisioning · Smart automation for reduced time-to-value · Out-of-box service catalog for common services Figure 5: Route Insight Manager Figure 4: Ethernet Activator Service Now - Support Automation Automates Network Diagnostics · Reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and operational complexity · Reduces mean time between failures without increasing operational costs · Increases operational efficiency · Delivers 10x more network uptime AI Scripts Installed JMB Hardware So ware Resoiurces Configuration Service Now Service Now Internet Gateway Juniper Support System Customer Network Customer or Partner NOC Juniper Figure 6: Service Now 3 Juniper will continue to expand its network operations portfolio with applications to automate the management of campus, data center, security, and cloud infrastructures. Other planned Juniper-developed applications will include Campus Builder, an application to quickly design and deploy campus network topologies and services, Security Designer, an application to quickly and easily design, test and deploy rich security policies across entire network infrastructures and Cloud Creator to design and deploy various cloud services and infrastructures like virtual fabrics, platform-as-a-service and software-as-a-service. Productivity Applications Junos Space helps third-party developers create applications such as smart metering aggregation for remote metering, collection, and aggregation to enable endpoint rollout and monitoring that can be offered as a managed service or a standalone application. Junos Space also supports the development of online Web applications for personal and workplace productivity, or "my network" applications to synchronize bookmarks, contacts, passwords, etc. , across devices and identities. Collaboration Applications Juniper's developers and partners can leverage Junos Space to build applications like SMS multicast for private branded white box twitter applications for user communities, or online/remote meeting tools for secure meetings and collaboration across distributed sites. Third-Party Developer Applications Third parties and enterprises that build applications on top of the Junos Space platform enjoy many advantages in addition to the development environment. These include the reuse of the Junos Space runtime fabric for better utilization of processing resources, the security of communication and data persistence, and the usability and flexibility of the Web UI.
