Double-digit traffic and subscriber growth, increased adoption of cloud computing and growing amounts of online video are among the trends that are driving increased investment in high-performance networks. Now, operators are under pressure to contain spending, streamline operations, and accelerate service revenue growth and profitability.

The MX2000 line of 3D Universal Edge Routers helps service providers, cloud builders and cable operators achieve these goals by optimizing network performance and enabling service innovation at massive scale, enabling network operators to create High-IQ networks that simplify operations and create service-centric infrastructures that exceed market requirements and customer expectations.

Product Description

Today, a number of global trends are straining cloud builders and network operators to the breaking point.

At the end of 2013, analysts estimate almost 2.5 billion broadband subscribers worldwide. This represents double-digit growth from year-end 2012, and double-digit combined annual growth for subscriber rates are forecast through 2018.

These broadband subscribers are engaging in online video and media-rich Web experiences at an unprecedented rate. For instance:

• YouTube and Netflix traffic accounted for 50% of all Internet traffic in North America.
• More than 6 billion hours of video are watched on YouTube every month-nearly one hour for every person on earth-while 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.

Research firm IDC estimates that $47.4 billion was spent in the cloud computing industry in 2013, and it expects the market to more than double to $107 billion by 2017. This 23.5% compound annual growth rate places it on a trajectory to be a trillion-dollar global market.

Taken together, the dramatic growth in the number of broadband subscribers and their use of bandwidth-intensive applications and services, including cloud-based services, has resulted in higher capital expenses and lower operational efficiency. Network operators are finding that their traditional network architectures are too complex, their network equipment and technologies are too inflexible, and their operational processes are too slow to efficiently and cost-effectively respond to these trends, making it difficult to create innovative services that fully monetize network investments.

The Juniper Networks® MX2000 line of 3D Universal Edge Routers is a game-changing, SDN-ready solution that offers massive investment protecting capacity, density, and scale; increased operational excellence; and service agility to help network operators transform the economics of networking. Consisting of the MX2020 3D Universal Edge Router, designed with 80 Tbps of system capacity, and the MX2010 3D Universal Edge Router, designed with 40 Tbps of system capacity, the MX2000 line offers the performance and reliability at scale that enables cable operators, service providers, content providers, and cloud operators to confidently and efficiently build the best network across residential, mobile, and cloud hosting markets.

The MX2000 line utilizes the powerful Juniper Networks Junos® operating system and the programmable Junos Trio chipset to maintain complete feature consistency with the entire Juniper Universal Edge Routing portfolio. The MX2000 line also supports all Modular Port.
