Juniper QFabric Switches use Autonomic Ideas

So Juniper Networks JNPR 30,15 +0,57 +1,93% have launched a new idea in switching, expanding the switching fabric across multiple chassis in their QFabric switch platform.

In their launch video (it’s 76 minutes long, 45 minutes of launch video, and 30 minutes of Q&A), they show that they have been able to achieve this with several ideas that come from the Autonomic Networking cookbook.

  • Push the intelligence at the edge
  • Simplify the core transport layer
  • Simplify the management and complexity
  • Removal of the impact of single points of failure from the platform

It’s nice to know that there aren’t to many new ideas in the world, and that Ipanema Technologies 11 years ago understood most of them. More later as Juniper reveals the QFabric Interconnect and QFabric Director.
