Juniper Networks® solutions selected to meet
experience and sustainability requirements of BT Group’s network
applications across broadband, mobile and fixed networks
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven
networks, today announced it is supporting BT Group’s ongoing
transformation journey towards a highly scalable, automated and
robust cloud core infrastructure for business and consumer
customers. BT Network Cloud supports diverse network applications
across broadband, fixed, mobile and other mission-critical services
on a single platform, using Juniper Networks’ high-performance
cloud-native solutions and professional services.
With this strategic deployment, BT Network Cloud has now scaled
to accommodate multiple key network-centric applications, such as
mobile voice and data, broadband authentication and IP voice calls
for tens of millions of customers without extra overhead costs. An
innovative global technology footprint from Juniper, including
infrastructure consolidation and virtualization, along with
improved hardware density and power efficiency, reduces space and
power requirements in support of a more sustainable
infrastructure.
BT Simplifies and Improves Service Quality with Agile Network
Cloud
BT Network Cloud enables applications that underpin BT Group's
U.K. consumer and business network services. Juniper’s
high-performance, high-availability fabric for BT Network Cloud
provides extreme robustness and high performance for BT Group’s
core applications across a widely distributed user base deployed at
multiple locations across the U.K. Moving from dedicated compute
platforms for each application to a shared infrastructure conserves
and optimizes resources leading to better resource utilization and
significantly lower environmental impact.
The provider’s network cloud optimizes service quality and
streamlines operational deployment and management of core
applications, which enables innovation and agility in delivering
new services to market such as enhanced 5G services.
5G Roll Out and Scale to Meet Digital Demand
The introduction of 5G created a unique opportunity for BT Group
to transform its core network to ensure it was well-positioned to
offer a dynamic range of new services to customers at unprecedented
scale. BT Group chose to build a network cloud to provide a common
shared platform for core applications, which operate its broadband,
fixed and mobile services. BT Group has migrated tens of millions
of mobile subscribers and successfully deployed all its mobile
application infrastructure on its network cloud.
The goal of the multiyear journey at BT Group was to deploy a
state-of-the-art container-based fixed, broadband and mobile core
that will boost business agility, operational efficiency,
sustainability and meet security compliance.
News Highlights:
-BT uses Juniper for open, software-defined
networking (SDN), switching and firewall solutions for its network
cloud. The service provider uses Juniper’s SDN platform to automate
the creation and management of its OpenStack-based telco cloud. The
platform provides hybrid SDN orchestration and centralized control
of virtual switching, routing and security. BT is running
cloud-native containerized applications and optimizing costs using
OpenStack.
-Juniper QFX Series Switches provide the
high-performance, high-availability fabric needed to support the BT
Network Cloud which has rapidly become the largest container-based
cloud infrastructure in the world, and is still growing.
-BT’s cloud-native platform is deployed at
multiple locations across the U.K. to form a distributed
architecture designed to scale seamlessly alongside demand and to
provide services closer to the end user than with traditional, more
centralized deployments.
-Juniper collaborated with BT to deliver
high-performance, high-availability fabric for BT Network Cloud.
BT’s data centers contain over 1,000 Juniper QFX Series Switches
and 2,000 Juniper vRouters. The switches connect all
mission-critical application servers to the core network. The SDN
platform is deployed on the servers to provide virtualized routing
capability to connect workloads across BT’s network securely.
-Juniper vSRX Virtual Firewalls protect and
secure the data center traffic. vSRX provides a network address
translation capability which was not possible for one of BT’s
application providers to deliver in software.
-BT Group selected Juniper for its
engineering excellence and ability to provide an end-to-end network
solution including hardware, software and tools that can integrate
reliably with the complete cloud stack.
-By leveraging Juniper’s professional
services, BT has successfully completed the project on time and
ensured that the challenging service level, availability and
performance targets of BT’s applications are met.
