SUNNYVALE, CA --(Marketwired - January 17, 2017) - Juniper Networks (
Today's networks require seamless connectivity across multiple regions, data centers, and clouds as well as demand an ever-increasing amount of bandwidth to support new applications and workloads. Traditional telecommunications solutions, which depend on slow and tedious manual provisioning for each new connection, have increasingly become a bottleneck in the rapidly evolving world of on-demand hybrid cloud environments. PacketFabric's innovative platform helps overcome these challenges by enabling customers to programmatically interact with its terabit-scale network in real-time, and by facilitating on-demand connectivity between any points across the fabric.
Using Juniper technology, PacketFabric has built an entirely automated and purpose-built SDN-based network architecture, enabling cost-effective, scalable and secure network connectivity, with real-time visibility and control over network traffic. With this offering, PacketFabric expects that companies will be able to easily manage the connectivity services they need at significantly lower costs and with far greater flexibility than traditional telecommunications services. This is especially valuable for companies with hybrid cloud models or large-scale data center deployments that are looking to efficiently connect their private and public infrastructures.
