Service Description

Juniper^® Data Center Deployment Services are designed to support enterprises, cloud providers, and service providers. They are available in four options:

Juniper Data Center Deployment Service for new, greenfield data center deployments
Juniper Data Center Optimized Deployment Service for new, greenfield data center deployments, includes expert assistance with post-deployment advanced operations
Juniper Data Center Deployment Service (Migration Ready) for new, greenfield data center deployments with a legacy brownfield data center that require a side-by-side migration of existing workloads, includes expert assistance with the migration plan and initial migration tasks
Juniper Data Center Optimized Deployment Service (Migration Ready) for new, greenfield data center deployments with a legacy brownfield data center that require a side-by-side migration of existing workloads, includes expert assistance with the migration plan, initial migration tasks, and post-deployment advanced operations

All options are delivered remotely, providing assistance with design, deployment, and accelerated rollout activities. Services offer an easy-to-use, fully automated, deployment package that is quick to install using a highly validated, data center reference design for a new network architecture. As part of these services, Juniper will advise on optimal phasing and grouping of the activities.

Juniper Data Center Deployment Services activities begin with a review of data collected from the customer via a data intake checklist. The customer information from the intake checklist is used as a single source of truth to perform an automated Juniper Apstra^® platform installation, deployment, and provisioning of the entire Ethernet VPN fabric. The deployment package then tests connectivity down to IP port level on a few select interfaces, followed by autogenerated documentation that includes test results and key UI screenshots for customer handoff.

The Migration Ready options provide expert assistance in the creation of a migration plan and provide maintenance window support for performing the initial migration.

The Optimized Deployment Service option provides an intensive month of highly focused post-deployment interactive knowledge transfer sessions tailored to customer’s environment. Technical areas covered include UI layout, advanced troubleshooting, and Intent-Based Analytics and Time Voyager capabilities applied to the customer’s operating environment.
