The continuous expansion of mobile, video, and cloud-based services is disrupting traditional networks and impacting the
businesses that rely on them. While annual double-digit traffic growth requires massive resource investments to prevent congestion
and accommodate unpredictable traffic spikes, capturing return on that investment can be elusive. Emerging trends such as 5G
mobility, Internet of Things (IoT) communications, and the continued growth of cloud networking promise even greater network
challenges in the near future. The Juniper Networks® MX Series Universal Routing Platform delivers the industry’s first end-to-end
infrastructure security solution for enterprises as they look to move business-critical applications to public clouds. Delivering
features, functionality, and secure services at scale in the 5G era with no compromises, the MX Series is a critical part of the
network evolution happening now.
At the same time, traditional operations environments are increasingly challenged to meet consumer and business requirements for
rapid service delivery and cloud-like network experiences. Issues related to monitoring and management are placing additional
stress on already strained budgets and personnel, and promising technologies like Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and SDN
introduce an entirely new set of operational challenges.
