Routing and Switching

Today's volatile, technology-driven marketplace requires successful organisations to integrate IT deeply into every area of the business. Integration can play a key role in the way businesses innovate, and it can require a change in how you communicate, collaborate and conduct business. Network integration can give you the powerful applications and tools you need to help your organisation quickly implement new business initiatives that can increase your marketplace opportunities. But first, your network infrastructure must be able to support new technologies and applications and make those tools accessible to all users when and where they need them.

IBM's Network Integration Services – network integration and deployment offering assists you with physical design, integration and implementation for campus and local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and data centre networks. It provides an end-to-end solution that assists you with the deployment of a reliable, standards-based network infrastructure. Associated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) networking product provisioning is provided by IBM Business Partners such as Juniper Networks.

Network integration and deployment from IBM provides an end-to-end solution that assists you with the deployment of a reliable, standards-based network infrastructure. It's an ideal solution for complex network upgrades, expansions, migrations and consolidations involving routers, switches, servers and other networking equipment. Network integration and deployment provides a single source for skilled planning, design, integration and implementation of the components necessary for a turnkey network solution:

• Physical network design or design validation
• Integration of multiple products and multiple vendors
• Integration with existing IT and networking infrastructure
• Logistics, ordering support and procurement
• Site preparation
• Cabling
• Configuration, installation and system testing
• Project management

Campus and local area networks

IBM's Network Integration Services for campus and local area networks offering provides physical design, integration and implementation services to organisations that require flexible, robust and resilient networking infrastructures. These services can help you deploy reliable, standards-based campus network and local area network (LAN) infrastructures for complex network upgrades, refreshes, expansions, migrations and consolidations involving routers, switches, servers and other networking equipment.

Data centre networks

Juniper Networks' routers and switches are based on proven technologies that have been deployed in some of the most demanding service provider and carrier environments. These same technologies are now available to enterprises whose high-performance businesses are placing the same kind of demands on their networks.

Whether the requirement is for a data centre, branch office deployment, campus network or remote access, IBM's skilled resources – coupled with Juniper Networks' range of network infrastructure solutions – can meet or exceed the performance level, yet do so with greater reliability and flexibility, and at a lower cost. One key differentiator and technology that keeps Juniper's routers and switches up and running reliably is JUNOS™, the common network operating system described below.

From the small office on up to the largest IP backbone sites in the world, Juniper Networks offers a comprehensive, scalable, secure router solution. This includes core routers, multi-service edge routers and carrier Ethernet offerings supporting the highest-performance needs of demanding enterprises and service providers.

Juniper Networks' routers come with unmatched performance even with services such as Firewall, NAT or IPSec enabled. The routers support a wide variety of connectivity options to suit virtually every business requirement and a rich set of IPv4 and IPv6 features and routing protocols combined with the broadest MPLS features available.

Together with the JUNOS operating system Juniper's routers deliver the following benefits to the enterprise:

• Advanced security
• High uptime
• Predictable and blazing performance
• Unmatched value
