Juniper Enhances its Service-Built Edge Portfolio with M7i and M10i

Juniper Networks introduced two new routing platforms for its "Infranet-ready Service-built Edge" portfolio. The new, compact platforms are aimed at small- and medium-sized Points of Presence (POPs), campus networks and managed services environments. Both platforms leverage Juniper's existing ASICs and Junos software. The new routers include:


the M7i -- a four-slot, two-rack unit high chassis which comes with a choice of two fixed Fast Ethernet interfaces or a single fixed Gigabit Ethernet interface, providing Ethernet connectivity without consuming a PIC slot. J-Protect features include Network Address Translation (NAT), stateful firewall, IPSec and J-Flow accounting. It could be used as an a provider edge router in small POPs, as well as a carrier-class customer premise equipment (CPE) solution for managed services and campus border router applications.


the M10i -- an 8-slot, five-rack unit high chassis that features fully redundant routing engines, forwarding boards, power, and cooling. With new high availability software features such as Hitless Switchover and In-service Software Upgrades, it is designed to deliver provider edge services with non-stop forwarding in small- and medium-sized locations.
