Managing almost USD 62 billion of assets through over 906 cooperatives and 1,656 branches nationwide, CU has experienced consistent growth in scope and scale across its operations. As a result, the improvement of workflow efficiency, network reliability and utilization were key priorities for the data center modernization project, which are areas where Juniper's products, including the EX line of Ethernet Switches and MX line of routers, are well placed to offer best-fit levels of performance, professional service and support.
In addition, CU has also deployed a substantial number of L2 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switches from Juniper, including the EX3300 Ethernet Switch and EX2200 Ethernet Switch for separate IPT and Network Isolation projects. Juniper's broad experience and expertise in automation will play a key role in the seamless operation of CU's nationwide network, and address the need to comply with the network separation policy for financial companies required by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS).
