DATA CENTER ASSESSMENT
What is it?
A review of a customer’s existing networking environment in light of their business and technical
goals.
It enables customers to evaluate technology options and plan their networking/security journey
whilst providing insight as to how a Juniper solution can potentially help meet their business
goals.
The need for an assessment is usually determined during a technical workshop near the start of
the sales cycle.
Juniper assessments are available for all product categories (DC, security, core, etc.) and are
based on a common delivery methodology

JUNIPER ASSESSMENTS:
A STANDARDIZED, GLOBAL METHODOLOGY
• An assessment is a consulting engagement very early in the project cycle. It provides:
• A detailed look at your business and technical goals
• An in-depth review of your existing network and/or security environment
• An analysis of that environment in light of your business and technical goals, identifying gaps
• Detailed recommendations for change, and expected business outcomes of those recommendations, based
on the latest technology options and industry best practices
Technology-specific adaptations

EXAMPLE:
A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL BANK
• Challenges to scale, host new services, or add resources because existing DCs were reaching limits of
Power, Cooling and Space.
• “Legacy” Multi-tier design was complex to manage, causing outages, human errors, and bugs.
• Complexity/Heterogeneity of legacy infrastructures with too many DC sites, contributed to High Capex and
Opex.
Challenge
Solution
Results
• Redesign and overhaul of legacy switching infrastructure, in favor of a high-performance flat DC-Fabric
deployment option.
• Homogeneous redesign of traffic-flows across sites / business-units / and functional segments.
• Leverage existing WAN MPLS network to provide DC Interconnect capabilities, in order to promote
flexibility, scale, and business continuity capabilities.
• The solution proposed delivers 50+ differentiations and improvements in the previously defined network
characteristics, enabling the Business Drivers. This includes:
• Increase 10G-enabled access rate from 1% to 100%
• 93% reduction in maximum East-West oversubscription
• Simplification of the main workflows by 70%
• 100% multi-homed and converged server connectivity
Global, multi-
site, large scale
deployment with
stringent
availability and
performance
