The NFX Series Network Services Platform delivers a flexible, secure, on-demand network service experience to enterprise organizations. An integral part of Juniper's fully automated software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), secure router, and Cloud CPE solutions, this high-performance universal CPE platform delivers dynamic SD-WAN functionality with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), nextgeneration network security, and a portfolio of managed services.

The NFX Series supports multiple Juniper and third-party VNFs on a single device, enabling enterprise customers to accelerate application deployment across geographical locations with a single, automated, highly scalable solution.

Product Description

The Juniper Networks® NFX Series Network Services Platform includes the NFX150 and NFX250, offering secure, standards-compliant customer premises devices that simplify the creation and delivery of network services. This enables service providers to deliver innovative managed services with agility and scale, while allowing enterprises to automate and accelerate branch network connectivity.

More than ever, enterprises rely on the Internet to support their business operations. This increasing dependence on the Internet to access geographically distributed data centers and the multitude of mission-critical cloud-based applications has made branch offices difficult to manage, maintain, and upgrade. Rapid business expansion, both local and international, also creates new challenges for branch office deployment and connectivity. Enterprises require a solution that can create branches on demand, accelerate service deployment, and instantly apply business updates and security policies consistently across a diverse and growing number of business applications and branch locations.

While traditional customer premises equipment (CPE) devices have served the market well for years, many of these devices are closed, Layer 2 purpose-built platforms that do not provide the flexibility, agility, or scalability required to support a flexible cloud deployment. As a result, these devices often inhibit innovation and complicate or, even worse, restrict the ability to automate configuration and provisioning management.

The NFX Series highly scalable, open, and secure customer premises devices work with Juniper Contrail® Service Orchestration to deliver fully automated SD-WAN, secure router, and Cloud CPE solutions. Whether you are an enterprise business or a service provider, this automated, software-driven solution dynamically provisions new services, enabled by Juniper or third-party virtualized network functions (VNFs), on demand, resulting in near instantaneous service delivery. Its Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) capability greatly simplifies branch network connectivity for initial deployment and ongoing management. Subsequent service updates and policy changes are consistently and dynamically inserted into the existing device, resulting in operational efficiency for service providers and enterprise customers alike by limiting or even eliminating service interruptions and business disruptions.

The QFX5120 Switch delivers low latency, rich Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, and advanced EVPN- VXLAN capabilities, making it an ideal data center top-of-rack and aggregation switch for enterprise multicloud deployments.

Featuring Layer 3 gateway capabilities for routing between virtualized and bare-metal servers, the QFX5120 is designed for extremely agile data centers that require support for overlay/ underlay network architectures. Native 25GbE with 100GbE uplink ports on the QFX5120-48Y, combined with 32 ports of 100GbE on the QFX5120-32C, make the QFX5120 family ideal for leaf-and-spine network deployments.
