Juniper EX-Series is a series of Ethernet network switches designed and manufactured by Juniper Networks. [1] [2] [3] These switches run on Juniper's network operating system, JUNOS. [4]
Juniper's then CEO and present Chairman, Scott Kriens said that the product launch marked the beginning of a transcending chapter in Juniper's history declaring, "The switch is on".
Creation
The EX series was launched in 2008. [5]
Features
The EX switches support a range of features including high availability and network access control ( NAC). The NAC support, which Juniper calls Unified Access Control (UAC), enables the switches to enforce access policies rather than rely on firewalls, VPN gateways, or switches made by other vendors. [2]
Juniper Networks EX-series Ethernet switches are compliant with Internet protocol (IP) telephony solutions from Avaya. [6] They are also interoperable with leading network management platforms from AlterPoint, CA, EMC, HP, IBM, InfoVista and SolarWinds. [4]
Network World Lab Alliance certified that Juniper switches are a credible alternative for enterprise access in switching, compared to access switches of other vendors. [7]
