Juniper Qfx10000 Series ― A Comprehensive Guide on Building Next-generation Data Centers

Like the popular guides The MX Series and Juniper QFX5100 Series, this practical book—written by the same author—introduces new QFX10000 concepts in switching and virtualization, specifically in the core of the data center network.

The rise of cloud computing with service providers and the need to create private clouds for enterprise, government agencies, and research institutions of all shapes and sizes is creating a high demand for high-density 40GbE and 100GbE in the core of the data center network.

The Juniper QFX10000 Series was introduced by Juniper Networks to solve these challenges, and it is a game-changer. This new book by Douglas Hanks is the authoritative guide.

Topics include:

• Device Architecture
• Flexible Deployment Scenarios
• Performance and Scaling
• Disaggregation of Software and Hardware
• Data Center API
• Next Generation QFabric
• Network-Based Overlay Fabric
• Network Analytics
