Featured Products

EX Series Switches

EX Series Ethernet switches are cloud-ready, high-performance access and aggregation/core layer switches designed for enterprise branch, campus, and data center networks. Wired access networks don’t have to be complex—you can reduce risk and cost without compromising performance, quality, and innovation.

QFX Series Switches

QFX network switches deliver industry-leading throughput and scalability, a comprehensive routing stack, the open programmability of Junos OS, and the broadest set of EVPN-VXLAN and IP fabric capabilities. Juniper offers a wide range of switches for data center spine and leaf switches, campus distribution and core, or data center gateway and interconnect.

Wired Assurance

The Juniper Mist Wired Assurance service brings Mist AI to access-layer switching. It sets a new network management standard with AI-Native operations and automation, improving the experiences of devices connected to resources through Juniper EX Series switches.

Marvis VNA

Marvis, the first AI-Native Virtual Network Assistant, optimizes user and operator experiences with proactive actions and self-driving network operations. A natural language conversational interface provides simple and seamless interactions, making Marvis an integrated member of any IT team.

Access Assurance

Juniper Mist Access Assurance, our cloud-based network access control service, simplifies user and device onboarding with easy policy creation and enforcement. It removes the struggles of design, deployment, and Day 0/1/2 operations while securing your network edge.

How Juniper can help

Juniper is named a Leader in wired access for the fourth time in a row in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, where we were also positioned farthest in Completeness of Vision and highest in Ability to Execute for the third time straight. We offer a wide array of leading-edge hardware platforms operated via the cloud and Mist AI as part of our AI-Native Networking Platform. With our EX Series Switches, it’s easy to set up and manage network fabrics, apply robust policies, cost-effectively scale, and troubleshoot needle-in-a-haystack problems, such as misconfigured VLANs and bad cables.

AIOps for the best experiences

Provision, deploy, and operate Juniper EX Series Switches from the Juniper Mist cloud. Wired Assurance and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant apply the power of Mist AI to rich streaming telemetry from EX switches, enabling simple operations, rapid mean time to repair (MTTR), and visibility into the experience of each device.

Cloud-native, enterprise-grade

Cloud-native Juniper access switches deliver enterprise-grade performance to meet all your business and technical requirements. They offer a robust set of features, including multigigabit rates (1/2.5/5/10GbE), Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 90W, standards-based microsegmentation with group-based policies, MACsec, and Day 0-to-Day 2+ cloud-native, just to name a few. Our portfolio includes models that support Wi-Fi 7, ruggedized options, and fast boot-up times that measurably accelerate deployment in L2/L3 networks.

Simplified campus fabrics

Alleviate the operational burdens of deploying campus fabrics. Juniper’s AI-Native campus fabric workflow enables administrators to deploy EVPN-VXLAN in three steps: select topology, choose devices, and push configurations. Gone are the days of manually entering CLI commands. Powered by the modern cloud, campus deployments are quick, consistent, and scalable.

Unified wired and wireless

Power the network edge with wired and wireless access solutions unified under a common cloud and AI umbrella that simplifies Wi-Fi 7 enablement and management. With event correlation across domains, end-to-end service levels, and integrated insight using the Marvis Virtual Network Assistant, it has never been easier or more cost-effective to manage a combined wired/wireless infrastructure for your modern needs.
