CERN Peers Into the Origins of the Universe
What’s the universe made of? How does it work? Answering the big questions about the universe is the mission of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). With its powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN is advancing the boundaries of human knowledge through breakthrough research in fundamental physics.

Business Challenge
CERN needs to prepare for the third run of Large Hadron Collider experiments, which will produce unprecedented volumes of data. CERN’s IT team has 1.5 years to build a network that supports the expansion of our knowledge of fundamental physics. They chose Juniper Networks for the technical network that supports the LHC operations and experiments as well as its data center and backbone.

The Products
QFX10008 and QFX10016
QFX10008 and QFX10016 Switches support the most demanding data center, campus, and routing environments. With our custom silicon Q5 ASICs, deep buffers, and up to 96 Tbps throughput, these switches deliver flexibility and capacity for long-term investment protection.
QFX5200
The QFX5200 line offers line-rate, low-latency 10/25/40/50/100GbE switches for building large, standards-based fabrics. QFX5200 Switches are an optimal choice for spine-and-leaf fabric deployments in the data center as well as metro use cases.
EX9200
The EX9200 line of Ethernet switches provides a programmable, flexible, and scalable foundation for delivering mission-critical applications.
