EANTC Validates Juniper

BERLIN -- EANTC AG (European Advanced Networking Test Center) announced today that the company was commissioned by Juniper Networks to validate the performance, services scale, and power efficiency of the new 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (16x10GbE) MPC line card and Juniper Networks® MX80 3D Universal Edge Router. EANTC was able to independently verify the new products’ capabilities prior to their public introduction, finding that the Junos® Trio-based MX 3D routers delivered the performance and scalability claimed by Juniper:

Ixia Ixnetwork equipment was used to conduct the tests in Sunnyvale, Calif. in September 2009.

"The EANTC test results prove that Juniper can pack a lot of potential revenue into a given rack or watt of power, which is exceptionally important to operators," said Tom Nolle, Founder and President, CIMI Corporation. "The results also proved that the MX Series scales very significantly in the service and session dimensions, which is critical to operators to generate top-line growth."
