Data Center LAN Migration Guide
• Junos Space Virtual Control allows users to monitor, manage, and control the virtual network environments that
support virtualized servers deployed in the data center. Virtual Control provides a consolidated solution for network
administrators to gain end-to-end visibility into, and control over, both virtual and physical networks from a single
management screen. By enabling network-wide topology, configuration, and policy management, Virtual Control
minimizes errors and dramatically simplifies data center network orchestration, while at the same time lowering
total cost of ownership by providing operational consistency across the entire data center network. Virtual Control
also greatly improves business agility by accelerating server virtualization deployment.
Juniper has also formed a close collaboration with VMware that takes advantage of its open APIs to achieve seamless
orchestration across both physical and virtual network elements by leveraging Virtual Control. The combination of
Junos Space Virtual Control and VMware vSphere provides automated orchestration between the physical and virtual
networks, wherein a change in the virtual network is seamlessly carried over the physical network and vice versa.
• Junos Space Ethernet Design is a Junos Space software application that enables end-to-end campus and data
center network automation. Ethernet Design provides full automation including configuration, provisioning,
monitoring, and administration of large switch and router networks. Designed to enable rapid endpoint connectivity
and operationalization of the data center, Ethernet Design uses a best practice configuration and scalable workflows
to scale data center operations with minimal operational overhead. It is a single pane of glass platform for end-toend
network automation that improves productivity via a simplified, “create one, use extensively” configuration and
provisioning model.
• Junos Space Security Design enables fast, easy, and accurate enforcement of security state across the enterprise
network. Security Design enables quick conversion of business intent to device-specific configuration, and it enables
auto-configuration and provisioning through workflows and best practices to reduce the cost and complexity of
security operations.
• Service Now and Junos Space Service Insight consists of Junos Space applications that enable fast and proactive
detection, diagnosis, and resolution of network issues. (See Automated Support with Service Now for more details.)
• Junos Space Network Activate facilitates fast and easy setup of VPLS services, and allows for full lifecycle
management of MPLS services
In addition, the Junos Space Software Development Kit (SDK) will be released to enable development of a wide range
of third-party applications covering all aspects of network management. Junos Space is designed to be open and
provides northbound, standards-based APIs for integration to third-party data center and service provider solutions.
Junos Space also includes DMI based on NetConf, an IETF standard, which can enable management of DMI-compliant
third-party devices.
