First of all, the previously announced new Juniper network equipment arrived:

The equipment has been unboxed and checked, and set-up on our test bench to start testing before we announce maintenance to integrate it in to our core network infrastructure:

We also received a rather smaller package from Nike (this time without tilt/shock watch labels!). Unfortunately it was hard to work out which delivery our technicians were more excited about!

We expect to start work on the network upgrades in mid-October, and will be installing two new core routers, utilizing the Juniper MX routing platform. The MX 240 routers give us 240gbps of routing capacity in a compact chassis, along with redundant switching control boards and power supplies. We will be initially deploying these with 40×1GE SFP ports, leaving plenty of  capacity for future upgrades, including 10GB port options.

These MX 240 routers will function as a redundant pair, handling all BGP traffic on our network. In addition to these new routers, we are replacing our existing core switches with new Juniper EX switches. These EX4200 switches support 48×1GE and 2×10GE ports in a 1U chassis, with redundant power supplies, and full stacking capabilities.

We will also be making upgrades to our metro dark fibre ring and DWDM equipment in order to prepare for integration with our new national fibre loop which will connect to our new datacenter site.

Overseeing the upgrade work will be our full time Network Architect, who joined our management team in July this year. We have always strongly believed in encouraging growth by continually investing in our hosting and network infrastructure. This latest project, with a value exceeding £200,000, continues this tradition, and ensures that we keep ahead of our customers’ high capacity network requirements.
