Juniper Networks Showcases Breakthrough Performance Capabilities for its Junos® Trio Chipset with Test from EANTC
Juniper’s new MX 3D routers can download 8.5 million iTunes in one tenth of a second, 50 Blu-Ray DVDs in less than five seconds, 10 years of Hubble Telescope data in one minute or more than 430,000 HDTV channels simultaneously. They can increase ROI over five years by up to 540 percent[i]; reduce operating expenses for aggregation services up to 47 percent[ii]; reduce operating expenses for business services up to 63 percent[iii]; reduce operating expenses for residential services up to 77 percent[iv]; and improve power efficiency by a factor of 10-to-1 versus other vendors[v].
The European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) has completed a commissioned performance verification of the Juniper Networks® MX80 3D Universal Edge Router and new 16 port 10GbE aggregation line card, validating the ground-breaking performance of the company's 3D Scaling technology using the Junos Trio chipset. 3D Scaling technology helps networks scale dynamically to support more bandwidth, subscribers and services – all at the same time.
The EANTC tests confirmed the MX480 3D Universal Edge Router’s unidirectional throughput of up to 1.4Tbit/s, 240Gbits/s per slot – which is able to exceed one billion packets per second, in a compact sixth of a rack configuration: establishing new boundaries for high-performance networking. Services scale displayed 6,000 active Layer 3 VPNs and 6,000 active VPLS instances, as well as a leading 25.34 watts per 10GbE port in full configuration.
The new line cards and routers process two to four times more traffic than the competition – up to 2.6 terabits per second – while using half as much power per gigabit.[vi] For subscribers, this means the flagship MX960 system with 3D Scaling enables fast access to download 8.5 million iTunes in one tenth of a second, 50 Blu-Ray DVDs in less than five seconds, 10 years of Hubble Telescope data in one minute or more than 430,000 HDTV channels simultaneously[vii].
Junos Trio represents Juniper's fourth generation of purpose-built silicon, and is the industry's first "network instruction set" – a new silicon architecture unlike traditional application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and network processing units (NPUs). The new architecture leverages customized network instructions that are designed into silicon to maximize performance and functionality, while working closely with Junos software to ensure programmability of network resources.
EANTC conducts vendor-neutral performance testing for Carrier Ethernet, IP/MPLS, and Triple Play technologies and applications for network equipment manufacturers, service providers and enterprise customers.
Juniper's MX Series 3D products are available starting December 2009. The MX Series 3D 16-port 10GbE aggregation line card will be generally available to customers in December 2009, with additional MX Series 3D products coming throughout 2010.
