Juniper Networks today announced that global financial services firm UBS has selected the company to build a next generation enterprise data center network infrastructure.
UBS plans to implement key components of Juniper Networks’ MetaFabric architecture, an open standards-based architecture with proven routing, switching, security, management and orchestration solutions, to support the bank’s current and future business goals.
Juniper will build a carrier-class, ultra-scalable, network architecture for UBS. The networking architecture will serve as the building block to help virtualise multiple UBS data center environments.
“Banks are re-engineering their business models in light of changing market and regulatory conditions, changing customer behavior, and emerging technologies. Managing this transformation in financial services requires an intelligent High-IQ network infrastructure that knows how to fluidly adapt to business demands. It also requires building private clouds that deliver applications with high performance and agility,” said Shaygan Kheradpir, CEO, Juniper Networks.
“Juniper’s technologies enable financial services institutions to realise the benefits of carrier-class, ultra-scalable cloud data center solutions that are virtualised, secure, and flexible enough to accommodate the performance demands of their clients anywhere, anytime,” he added.
