Product Description

Juniper Networks® Junos® Space is an open, extensible network platform for developing

and hosting applications that simplify network operations, scale services, automate

support, and open your network to new business opportunities.

The Junos Space platform is based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and consists

of multilayered network abstractions and workflows that allow users to automate

network operations and increase operator efficiency. It has been architected to be an

open, pluggable application platform that uses industry-standard technologies to

achieve massive scale and resilience that is transparent to applications. Junos Space

uses a highly innovative approach to its pluggable application environment. The design

objective is to enable applications that are lightweight and can be separately managed to

maximize efficiency and performance. Junos Space applications manage their own data

model and interactions between applications are via public APIs. Junos Space enables

programmability at the network application layer, and an application developed and

hosted on the Junos Space platform can be upgraded independently.

Junos Space is a multipurpose application platform designed to be simple, smart, and open:

• Smart—the core platform provides network abstractions and automation to enable

smart applications, and includes best practices to automate repetitive tasks, minimize

user input, and scale services.

• Simple—the platform interface is business-intent oriented, not technology-centric, with

the system guiding the user rather than the other way around.

• Open—the platform architecture is open and explicitly designed to enable partners,

developers, independent software vendors, customers, and third parties to build and

deploy smart, simple, and easy-to-use applications.

Product Overview

host applications

• Embedded network infrastructure

automation functionality

• A hot-pluggable, multi-tenant

environment to enable applications

and devices to be dynamically added

and upgraded

Junos Space Environment

Junos Space is underpinned by a powerful runtime environment

and a programmable application environment.

Scalable and Resilient Runtime Environment: Junos Space is

implemented as a scalable fabric of physical or virtual appliances

that work collaboratively to help you optimize network resiliency,

availability, and resource utilization. You can expand or contract

the fabric by simply adding or deleting nodes, and the system

automatically starts applications and services on active nodes.

Each node is fully utilized and the nodes work together to provide

automated resource management and service availability.

The Junos Space runtime platform is multi-tenant and enables

hot-pluggable application deployment and upgrades. Juniper

or third-party applications can be added by downloading them

onto the platform, and the system automatically deploys the

applications throughout the fabric, including deploying code to

clients. Using the platform’s Device Management Interface (DMI),

you can also do hot-pluggable device additions and on device

software upgrades.

Customizable Application Environment: Junos Space provides a

full featured development environment for fast development and

monetization of network-aware applications. The Junos Space

development platform provides a complete rapid application

development framework that includes a common infrastructure,

a software development kit (SDK) with prebuilt core services and

widgets to allow easy user interface prototyping, and standards-

based APIs for third-party application integration. Using the Juniper

Networks Junos Space SDK, users have the option of developing

different classes of applications. These include mashups,

customized business process workflows, or native applications.

Figure 3: Junos Space platform

Easy User Experience: Junos Space provides a Web 2.0 GUI and is

designed to simplify the way you interact with the system. It is based

on a task-oriented paradigm and uses persona-based workflows to

help you do your administrative tasks quickly and efficiently.

Embedded Network Infrastructure Automation

The Junos Space platform allows for total management of your

Juniper resources and assets. These include comprehensive

inventory management; full configuration of devices and

interfaces through device templates that allow an administrator to

design configuration templates and push configuration to a device

or a group of devices; configuration editing to enable users to

edit, add, or delete portions of the configuration; configuration file

management to allow users to back up, restore, view, and edit the

configuration file for devices under management; and automated

management and deployment of software images. These platform

functions are embedded within the core platform. In conjunction

with multiple add-on applications, users can control any part of

their network environment with Junos Space.

Junos Space supports a full portfolio of applications developed

by Juniper for automating network infrastructure and operations.

These include:

Junos Space Network Activate—for rapid service scaling

• Automated management of MPLS resources

• Point-and-click interface for rapid Ethernet/MPLS service
