Juniper
Networks announced that it has become a strategic network provider to Standard
Chartered Bank.
Juniper
Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches and SRX Series Services Gateways, which
run the Junos operating system, have been deployed to create a secure, scalable
core, access and data center network infrastructure at Standard Chartered sites
in Singapore, Beijing and New York.
Standard
Chartered has consolidated the majority of its business operations in Singapore
into two new locations.
The
consolidation strategy was the catalyst for the bank’s decision to deploy a
Juniper Networks’ campus network solution, which includes the Juniper Networks
EX Series Ethernet Switches, SRX Series Services Gateways and the management
system NSM Central Manager.
Based
on successful implementations in Singapore, Standard Chartered deployed similar
systems at new sites in New York and Beijing.
Standard
Chartered is utilizing Juniper’s Virtual Chassis fabric technology, which
enables up to 10 interconnected EX4200 switches to operate as a single, logical
device, to grow its campus networks incrementally without incurring large
up-front costs.
These
network access switches have duplexed uplinks Juniper Networks EX8208 core
network switches, which form a 10 Gigabit Ethernet mesh that includes the
bank’s data center switches: EX8208 switches in Singapore with EX4200 switches
deployed to support the Beijing and New York server farms.
The
bank has also deployed Juniper Networks SRX1400, SRX3400 and SRX3600 Services
Gateways within its campus, branch and data center networks as part of its security
capability set. With Junos running as a single operating system on both the
switches and gateways, Standard Chartered is able to employ a uniform,
centrally-managed security policy framework that reduces complexity, risk and
operating costs.
With
Juniper Networks EX
Series Ethernet Switches, Standard Chartered has been able to drive down the
cost and complexity of managing its networks in these locations with a highly
scalable, simplified, two-layer network architecture that delivers low-latency
and is fully redundant down to the access layer.
“Standard
Chartered Bank is a tier-one financial institution that depends on its
information infrastructure to accommodate growth and maximize revenue,”
said Douglas Murray, senior vice president, Asia Pacific at Juniper Networks. “We are delighted that the Bank has selected Juniper Networks as a
strategic network provider.”
