DESIGN GUIDE - Data Center LAN Connectivity Design Guide
Not only does Juniper Networks lower capital and operational expense by collapsing layers and therefore
reducing the number of devices in the network that need to be purchased and managed, but Virtual Chassis
technology saves on valuable rack space, as well as recurring power and cooling costs. Delivering greater value
while reducing capital and operational expenses, Virtual Chassis technology frees up precious IT budget dollars
that can be invested in new technologies that improve business productivity.
For a full set of features, benefits, and specifications, please view the Juniper Networks EX4200 Ethernet Switch with
Virtual Chassis Technology Data Sheet.
Modular Chassis Configurations
The Juniper Networks EX8200 Ethernet Switch is recommended as an access layer solution for those requiring
modular chassis configurations.

EX8200 Features and Benefits 1.
To meet the access demands of even the largest data center, the top-of-the-line EX8200 Terabit-chassis switch
delivers a powerful, high-density, high-performance solution. Capable of up to 3.2 Tbps throughput, the EX8200
line of switches offer up to 368 (eight-slot chassis) or 764 (16-slot chassis) wire-speed GbE ports or up to 64
(eight-slot chassis) or 128 (16-slot chassis) wire-speed 10 GbE ports. With a redundant control plane, the
EX8200 line also runs Juniper Networks’ top-rated JUNOS Software for carrier-class HA. Other features include
inline application visibility, DDOS protection and anomaly-based threat detection.
End-of-Row Deployments2.
The EX8200 line of switches enable traditional end of the row deployments with a scalable fixed form factor with
high-density wire-speed ports.
