White Paper
Sustainable WAN Transformation for the AI Era
Juniper’s white paper on sustainable WAN transformation addresses the surge in AI-driven traffic and the need for scalable, efficient, and secure transport networks. It highlights the transition to 400G/800G with PTX, MX, and ACX routers, delivering higher density, lower power use, and investment protection. Core capabilities include experience-first automation with closed-loop optimization, embedded active assurance, and Zero Trust security with hardware integrity and line-rate encryption. Sustainability is central, with up to 77% lower power use, adaptive power management, and extended system life reducing e-waste. Innovations like IPoDWDM and pluggable optics enable cost savings, reduced complexity, and future-proof scalability.
