Juniper® Apstra® selected to simplify
operations, streamline costs and improve user experience
with Intent-Based Networking
Juniper Networks® (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven
networks, and NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), a leading global IT
and network transformation services provider, today announced that
DNA, part of Telenor Group and one of Finland’s leading mobile and
fixed communications service providers, has deployed an
intent-based networking data center fabric based on Juniper’s
innovative automation software plus high-performance hardware and
utilizing NEC’s advanced systems integration expertise. DNA’s new
data center infrastructure provides a unified platform for both its
business-to-business customer services and internal IT services.
Additionally, Juniper Networks™ QFX Series Switches were chosen to
power DNA’s Telco Cloud sites across Finland.
The overall objective for DNA’s data center infrastructure
refresh is to enable new revenue-generating services whilst
delivering operational efficiencies, together leading to enhanced
user experiences. By automating the data center network, DNA can
eliminate human error, optimize its technical team’s workload to
focus on service creation and simplify first-class service delivery
at scale. QFX switches enable low latency networking with high
reliability and capacity, the key requirements for delivering
various services to mobile users who are looking for
high-performance network quality.
Juniper Apstra System: Intent-based Networking
- DNA has selected the Juniper Apstra solution as the data center
infrastructure’s foundation: unique, intent-based networking
software that simplifies, automates and validates data center
design, planning and operations, from Day 0 to Day 2+.
- Apstra is a turnkey multi-vendor automation solution (both
hardware- and OS-agnostic), that provides DNA with a unified,
real-time view of millions of data center elements, plus their
dynamic performance, relationships and interdependencies.
- Apstra’s capabilities bring agility and more reliability to
DNA’s network design, build and operations. The entire network
management operations will be streamlined, and IT teams will be
able to focus more on other priorities.
- With Apstra, DNA can create a set of templates for its data
center network built on its desired intent and required business
outcomes. Apstra automatically converts this intent into the
network configurations and policies necessary to consistently
achieve DNA’s defined outcomes.
- The Apstra-enabled network undergoes continuous, closed-loop
assurance and self-validation to ensure compliance with the
declared intent from the blueprint.
- Using the operational, real-time analytics it constantly
generates, Apstra is also able to deliver much faster and
highly-accurate root-cause analysis of network issues and
mitigation data, helping DNA to maximize its data center and
services uptime.
- DNA also deployed Juniper Networks QFX Series Switches across
its new data center fabric. The QFX Series complements Apstra in
DNA’s network by delivering industry-leading reliability,
performance and scalability.
- NEC is the strategic partner for DNA, providing pre-integration
consultancy and validation as well as premium level support for
Juniper’s solution, leveraging its expert support team of certified
engineers.

easier for pressured operators. Automation drives down the total
cost of ownership in DNA’s data centers and frees up talent, all

services which can be taken to market quickly and more
