Juniper Networks has introduced a new suite of Ethernet switches, which it says offer impressive operational power and optimum efficiency.
The firm has unveiled the EX-series of Ethernet switches, which use the firm's Junos software and which promise high performance for corporate applications and network-enabled services.
Juniper says that the switches can help meet the increasing demands being placed on organisations' IT infrastructure, saying that the technology can play a role in maximising productivity and profitability.
"For many enterprises, legacy network infrastructure has become a pacing factor in meeting their high-performance business requirements," commented Hitesh Sheth, executive vice president and general manager of the Ethernet platforms business group at Juniper.
"Enterprises can no longer afford the complexity, cost and risk of turning on new network features for fear of taking down the network.
"Through the introduction ofour high-performance family of Ethernet switches based on Junos software, Juniper is delivering a solution that meets the business, economic and technical requirements of today's service-enabling network infrastructure."
Among the clients using the switches will be the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX), which relies on the speed and power of the switch to deliver information and execute orders on a timely basis.
Frank Ziegler, vice president of communications at PHLX, said Juniper's high-performance network infrastructure helped it to be one of the most reliable and fastest electronic trading venues in the world.
Juniper has released switches including the EX 3200 series, the EX 4200 series and the EX 8200 series.
