EX Series Switches
The Juniper Networks EX2200, EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, and EX8200 Ethernet switches
exhibit five key characteristics that, working together, deliver a true enterprise switching
solution: carrier-class reliability, security risk management, network virtualization,
application control, and reduced total cost of ownership ( TCO) .
Carrier-class Reliability: Nothing succeeds like success. That’ s why the Juniper Networks
EX Series Ethernet Switches leverage much of the same field-proven Juniper Networks
technology— including high-performance application-specific integrated circuits
( ASICs) , system architecture and Juniper Networks Junos® operating system— that
power the world’ s largest service provider networks. The result is a robust, timetested
and highly reliable network infrastructure solution for high-performance
enterprises.
Security Risk Management:
The Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches are
fully compatible with the Juniper Networks Unified Access Control ( UAC) , delivering
an extra layer of security by first authenticating users and performing virus checks,
then enforcing precise, end-to-end security policies that determine who can access
what network resources, as well as quality of service ( QoS) policies to ensure delivery
of business processes. Integrated anomaly-based threat detection provides additional
protection by identifying and blocking distributed denial of service ( DDoS) attacks.

Network Virtualization:
The EX Series switches feature Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis
technology, which enables multiple EX4200 or EX4500* switches to be interconnected
and operate as a single system. With Virtual Chassis technology, users get the reliability,
availability and high-port densities of traditional chassis-based systems in a costeffective,
compact form factor— the best of both worlds.

Application Control:
Successfully managing a network requires knowing how it’ s being
used in order to optimize application delivery and maximize efficiency. Integrated highperformance
ASICs on the chassis-based EX8200 line of Ethernet switches provide wirespeed
forwarding for any and all packet sizes.
To ensure application traffic is properly prioritized, the EX Series Ethernet Switches
support a robust eight QoS queues per port— more than enough to establish separate
queues for control plane, voice, video and multiple levels of data traffic, with room to
converge other networks such as building automation and security cameras.

Lower TCO:
A highly scalable pay-as-you-grow architecture, network designs with lower
power consumption, space and associated cooling requirements, a common operating
system, and unified management tools across the Juniper portfolio all combine to help
reduce operational and capital expenses for EX Series Ethernet Switch customers.
The high-performance, high-density platforms let users start small and grow
incrementally, saving valuable space in crowded wiring closets and data centers while
lowering recurring power and cooling costs. Leveraging a common version of the
Junos operating system across the switch families ensures consistency throughout
the infrastructure and accelerates the learning curve. And unified management tools
consolidate system monitoring and maintenance, saving time and money.
Working together, these EX Series switch attributes advance the economics of networking by
allowing businesses to spend less money and time on their network infrastructure— and more on
innovative technologies that help them gain a competitive edge.
