SoftBank Selects Juniper Networks for Core Network

News

MX Series routers and JET automation ramps up SoftBank's commercial core network capacity 76-fold

Juniper Networks has announced that the Japan-based telecommunications subsidiary of SoftBank Group has deployed its MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers together with the Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET) automation framework in order to upgrade and future-proof its commercial core network.

SoftBank has experienced exponential traffic growth in Japan over the past few years, driven by their continued market success, as well as the increased adoption of mobile devices, cloud services and high-definition video content. To address this ongoing traffic growth, SoftBank required an infrastructure that could provide industry-leading performance and capacity for today and tomorrow, coupled with the reliability for always-on service delivery.

At the same time, SoftBank was seeking to modernise its operations environment, and wanted an agile and automated network solution that would reduce complexity and increase speed of service delivery.

After an extensive review process, SoftBank identified Juniper Networks® MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers alongside the JET automation framework as the clear choice for their next-generation network. With this new, state-of-the-art commercial core network, SoftBank has dramatically increased network capacity while at the same time implementing automation across its operations with the opening of new network connections while significantly improving long-term service agility.

For its new commercial core network, SoftBank has selected the high-capacity MX2020 and the versatile MX104 3D Universal Edge Routers, while also implementing JET technology.

With performance and stability being key criteria, SoftBank said it valued the MX2020's ability to increase capacity from their current systems by 76-fold, as well as Juniper's ability to enable the development of advanced technologies.
