Technology explores simplifying and securing
hybrid multicloud connectivity at scale to deliver superior user
experiences for enterprise and consumer customers
Juniper Networks® (NYSE:JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-Native
Networks, and Liberty Global (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK), one
of the world’s leading converged video, broadband and
communications companies, today announced the successful completion
of a joint proof-of-concept (POC) designed to deliver a
high-quality seamless user experience for customers with data and
applications spread across multiple cloud environments.
The POC demonstrated a cost-efficient, software-programmable,
secure and seamless way to consistently connect services and
applications hosted in disparate locations and across different
cloud technologies. The POC was built on Juniper Cloud Interlink,
which automates the creation and management of assured, hybrid,
multicloud networks across public cloud, on-premises and co-located
data centers. Juniper Cloud Interlink is currently in advanced
development within Juniper Beyond Labs, an innovation hub that
pioneers user experience-led networking.
As a network provider to millions of consumer and business
customers, Liberty Global is keen to explore innovative ways to
enhance cloud connectivity solutions for its customers, as they
navigate the complexity of hybrid multicloud architectures while
maintaining secure, high-quality user experiences at scale.
Increasingly business customers are migrating their applications
and data to the cloud to benefit from improved resilience,
elasticity and scalability. But due to a mix of technological,
functionality and commercial reasons, customers typically select
different cloud environments and locations, including centralized
and edge locations for supporting present and future applications.
A typical medium/large enterprise has several systems looking after
different aspects of their business, such as logistical handling,
components drawings, design, manufacturing, inventory, customer
ordering, payments. These systems are likely to be hosted in
different cloud environments to suit specific aspects such as
performance, data storage and processing costs, geographical
locations. Such business needs translate into an increased number
of customers grappling with connecting multiple applications and
services across various cloud-based technologies, providers and
locations for a wide range of internal and external uses. Liberty
Global serves thousands of business customers, delivering advanced
connectivity, unified communication, security and IT managed
services, generating annual revenue exceeding $3bn; consequently,
the company can anticipate a future demand for multi-cloud
connectivity.
Current methods of connecting to multiple heterogeneous clouds
are inconsistent, each with their own best practices, tools,
platforms and limitations. Collectively this creates a challenging
environment that can put application Service Level Expectations
(SLEs), security policies and the ability for customers to select
the optimal cloud solution for each type of their data and
applications at risk.
Streamlining and Simplifying Multicloud Connectivity for
Customers
The POC represents a significant step forward for the Liberty
Global Technology team seeking innovative solutions to streamline
and simplify the multicloud connectivity for its customers. Juniper
Cloud Interlink was selected for a rigorous POC to test the
capabilities of this innovative technology to enable secure,
reliable provider- and location-agnostic hybrid multicloud
connectivity that can be combined with other existing cloud
solutions. Juniper Cloud Interlink Gateways were deployed in an AWS
Outpost on LG premises in Reading, UK and in regional Clouds
environments from AWS and Google.
The Juniper Cloud Interlink Gateways were successfully
interconnected within hours—instead of weeks—and supported advanced
yet easy-to-operate network and security services whilst
maintaining consistent policies end-to-end.
Juniper Cloud Interlink from Juniper also met Liberty Global’s
stringent operational requirements by ensuring applications and
SLEs were upheld, providing proactive anomaly detection, immediate
root cause discovery, automated notifications and faster Mean Time
to Identify (MTTI) and Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) on networking
issues across the fabric. This functionality is designed for
service providers and enterprises, so they can develop and bring
new revenue-generating services to market more quickly, while
maintaining the highest standards of user experience.
Liberty and Juniper intend to continue cooperating in the
development of the technology until it reaches the required level
of maturity for its commercial introduction.
