DescriptionJuniper Networks MX2020 Universal Routing Platform
OverviewThe MX2020 Universal Routing Platform is an Ethernet-optimized router that provides both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX2020 router supports service provider core, converged core and edge, and edge applications, and enables a wide range of business and residential and services, including high-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume Internet data center internetworking.The MX2020 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. All major hardware components including the power system, the cooling system, the control board and the switch fabrics are fully redundant.The MX2020 router is 45 rack units (U) tall. One router can be installed in a four-post rack or cabinet. The MX2020 router has 20 dedicated line card slots for a maximum of 20 Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs). Up to two Modular Interface Cards (MICs) can be installed in each MPC for a total of 40 MICs when fully populated. The host subsystem consists of two Control Boards with Routing Engines (CBREs) and eight Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs).
Long DescriptionIncreasingly sophisticated technology users are seeking highly responsive and customizable cloud-like online experiences and services that align with their unique needs and interests. At the same time, these users are creating more traffic that consume ever-increasing amounts of network bandwidth. For example, global e-commerce sales are growing at 20 percent annually; enterprises are increasingly moving infrastructure to the cloud; every minute of every day, more than 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube; and analysts expect 26 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices to be in use by 2020—more than a tenfold increase from 2015.As network operators strive to profitably meet these market demands, they are thwarted by traditional hardware-centric edge routers that lack programmability and scale, which limits their competitiveness, constrains their revenue and market share growth, and increases their CapEx, OpEx, and TCO. Now more than ever, service providers need agile, service-oriented edge routers that cost-effectively scale to create a Cloud-Grade Network that meets current demand and long-term forecasts.Meeting these challenges head-on, Juniper Networks® MX2000 line of Universal Routing Platforms—consisting of the 80 Tbps-capable MX2020, the 40 Tbps-capable MX2010, and the 16 Tbps-capable MX2008—enables network operators to confidently build the best cloud-grade core and edge networks across residential, mobile, business, and cloud/hosting markets.Significantly, the MX2000 platforms run the same Juniper Networks Junos® OS as the entire MX Series universal routing platform portfolio, ensuring complete feature consistency and a common operational and management framework. This consistency reduces the cost, risk, and complexity of network evolution, helping current MX Series customers rapidly qualify and deploy the MX2000 routers.Due to increasing security threats and data privacy concerns, Juniper has also made linerate Layer 2 encryption standard across the majority of its products, including the MX2000 line, by integrating MACsec technology. With the MPC11E line card, the MX2000 platforms integrate MACsec on 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE ports without needing a separate services card. The 40GbE and 100GbE MACsec capability has been available on MPC8E and MPC9E line cards since early 2018, and 10GbE MACsec has been available on the MPC7E-10G line card since 2016.
