Juniper Networks introduced its next-generation and the industry’s fastest core routing platform named the Juniper Networks T4000 Core Router, powered by the Junos operating system.

At 240 Gbps/slot, the T4000 is the industry’s fastest and densest IP/MPLS router, built and optimized for transport networks, the service provider backbone and major peering points around the world.

The T4000 extends Juniper’s history of flexibility, performance and investment protection by enabling existing T640 and T1600 core routers to be upgraded to T4000 without service disruption or changing customer-facing interfaces. All generations of the T Series have multichassis capability built into the architecture and support the same consistent Junos operating system deployed in every one of the top 100 service providers worldwide.

“Juniper is the clear leader in innovative, next-generation networking technologies, including being the first to announce and deliver 100G,” said Sridhar Sarathy, Vice President – India Operations, Juniper Networks India. “With the T4000, Juniper is now the first to provide clear investment protection for three generations of core routers since the introduction of the T640 more than eight years ago.”
