Cloud and Service Provider WAN
Simplify connectivity for cloud and service provider WAN transport
Service and cloud providers face exploding demand for capacity and new capabilities in the emerging AI era. To meet these requirements, they need transport networks that can smoothly transition to 800G with the automation, performance, and sustainability that next-generation digital experiences demand. Today, Juniper is helping providers worldwide transform their networks into an experience-centric, scalable, sustainable, and automated WAN.
The Juniper Experience-First Routing portfolio delivers ease of automation, multilayer sustainability, and proven performance for every transport use case. We can help you meet evolving needs while assuring nonstop security and quality, simpler operations, reduced carbon footprint, and lower TCO.
Juniper’s Experience-First Routing portfolio includes Juniper PTX, MX, ACX Series Routers, and the Paragon Automation suite.
How Juniper can help
Juniper’s Experience-First Routing portfolio helps service and cloud providers easily and efficiently transition to 800G. Across our routers, optics, silicon, and system innovations, we combine proven performance with simplified automation to enable more sustainable and future-proof networks.
Ease of automation
To keep OpEx and complexity under control and assure the best experience for every user, automation should be a top priority. It must be built into the WAN infrastructure itself. Next-gen transport networks automate device lifecycle management (LCM) tasks, optimize capacity, assure user experiences, and take closed-loop corrective actions autonomously.
Multilayer sustainability
As WAN transport traffic volumes continue to grow at exponential levels, power consumption can quickly spiral out of control. In recent years, Juniper has revamped our entire transport portfolio with 400G and 800G solutions to help providers lower costs and meet environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.
Proven routing performance
Juniper has long been the industry leader in routing performance, and our 400G and 800G solutions are no exception. As organizations evolve to next-gen transport, however, performance is about more than just pushing packets. Can your routers secure and encrypt traffic at 800G speeds, on all ports, with no performance penalty? Will your observability and assurance tools still work? Are you confident that existing operational practices won’t break? Service and cloud providers need the freedom to move to 800G with no limitations—and that’s what Juniper routing solutions deliver.

Cloud and Service Provider WAN FAQs
What do enterprises gain by moving from their legacy WAN to Juniper’s Cloud and Service Provider WAN solutions?
Juniper’s Experience-First Routing portfolio can help service and cloud providers transition to next-generation speeds and interfaces, wherever and whenever they need them. We achieve this by embedding three core capabilities into our transport portfolio:
- Ease of automation: To keep operational costs (OpEx) and complexity under control, and assure the best experience for every user, automation can’t be an afterthought. Our next-gen transport networks automate device lifecycle management (LCM) tasks, optimize capacity, assure user experiences, and take closed-loop corrective actions autonomously.
- Multilayer sustainability: 800G represents a massive capacity increase. From silicon to systems to software, Juniper meets the demands of the AI era using less power, in less space, with reduced emissions and waste per gigabit.
- Proven performance: Next-generation transport performance is about more than just pushing packets. Service and cloud providers need the freedom to move to 400G and 800G with no limitations—and that’s what our routing solutions deliver.
