VMware, NetApp and CA Technologies Support Juniper’s Vision for the Data Center
March 2011 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
VMware, NetApp and CA Technologies joined forces with Juniper Networks to launch QFabric, the world’s first true data center fabric and an outcome of Juniper’s Project Stratus.
QFabric re-envisions the network from the ground up as a scalable, blazingly fast and efficient fabric, with the operational simplicity of a single switch and lays the foundation for the company to roll out an entirely new family of fabric products and technologies.
Partners VMware, NetApp and CA Technologies joined Juniper in expressing a vision and plan for building data center fabrics for the next decade, while customers NYSE Euronext and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are evaluating how they can benefit from the performance gains the new architecture delivers.
Juniper and its partners believe the inflection point has arrived and it’s time for a new network and a new approach to the data center.
