Data Center LAN Migration Guide - Juniper Networks

Data Center LAN Migration Guide
The comprehensive NSM solution provides full life cycle management for all platforms in the data center LAN.
• Deployment: Provides a number of options for adding device configurations into the database, such as importing a
list of devices, or discovering and importing deployed network devices, or manually adding a device and configuration
in NSM, or having the device contact NSM to add its configuration to the database.
• Configuration: Offers central configuration to view and edit all managed devices. Provides offline editing/modeling
of device configuration. Facilitates the sharing of common configurations across devices via templates and policies.
Provides configuration file management for backup, versioning, configuration comparisons, and more.
• Monitoring: Provides centralized event log management with predefined and user-customizable reports. Provides
tools for auditing log trends and finding anomalies. Provides automatic network topology creation using standardsbased
discovery of Juniper and non-Juniper devices based on configured subnets. Offers inventory management
for device management interface (DMI)-enabled devices, and Job Manager to view device operations performed by
other team members.
• Maintenance: Delivers centralized Software Manager to version track software images for network devices. Other
tools also transform/validate between user inputs and device-specific data formats via DMI schemas.
Using open standards like SNMP and system logging, NSM has support for third-party network management solutions
from IBM, Computer Associates, InfoVista, HP, EMC, and others.

STRM Series Security Threat Response Managers
Complementing Juniper’s portfolio, the STRM Series offers a single pane of glass to manage security threats. It
provides threat detection, event log management, compliance, and efficient IT access to the following:
• Log Management: Provides long-term collection, archival, search, and reporting of event logs, flow logs, and
application data.
• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Centralizes heterogeneous event monitoring, correlation, and
management. Unrivaled data management greatly improves IT’s ability to meet security control objectives.
• Network Behavior Anomaly Detection (NBAD): Discovers aberrant network activities using network and application
flow data to detect new threats that others miss.

Junos Space
Another of IT’s challenges has been adding new services and applications to meet the ever growing demand. Historically,
this has not been easy, requiring months of planning and only making changes in strict maintenance windows.
Junos Space is an open network application platform designed for building applications that simplify network
operations, automate support, and scale services. Organizations can take control of their own networks through selfwritten
programs or third-party applications from the developer community. Embodied in a number of appliances
across Juniper’s routing, switching, and security portfolio, an enterprise can seamlessly add new applications, devices,
and device updates as they become available from Juniper and the developer community, without ever restarting the
system for full plug and play.
