Juniper Networks has unveiled the industry’s first Converged Supercore switch which can scale upto 3800 terabits. By merging the core packet and optical network layers, the switch supports unpredictable traffic patterns driven by the rapid growth of mobile, video and cloud computing applications.

“Today’s culture has created an “any service, anytime, anywhere” connection model driven by the proliferation of mobile, video, cloud computing and other data-intensive services that is producing a steady increase in network traffic of over 40 percent a year, with traffic increasingly characterized by unpredictable volume and patterns. Juniper’s Converged Supercore solution is designed to enhance service provider economics while delivering on the subscriber expectations of the new always-connected life, said Stefan Dyckerhoff, Executive VP and GM, Platform Systems Group at Juniper.
“As the vast majority of network traffic is packet-based, service providers need to rethink the architecture of the core transport network to scale with the demands of the IP world,” he said.
The PTX Series achieves:

The PTX Series achieves:
- 4x the speed at 480 Gigabits per second (Gbps) per slot, expandable to 2 Terabits per second (Tbps) per slot
- 5x the packet processing capability per slot
- 1/3 the total power consumption at 1W/Gbps
- 10x the system scale, supporting up to 3800 Tbps
