Juniper Scales Edge and Core Routing with Next-gen Trio and Express ASICs

00:05 [Music]

00:08 hi sally thanks for joining me today i

00:10 understand that juniper is ready to roll

00:12 with this first big announcement of 2022

00:16 custom silicon what is it that you're

00:18 announcing and um especially in the

00:20 supply constrained environment how soon

00:24 are we likely to see the next generation

00:26 of products based on what you're

00:27 announcing hello jim let me start by

00:30 telling you what we're announcing and

00:32 it's pretty exciting we're announcing

00:34 the next generations of our custom

00:37 silicon innovations built quite frankly

00:40 to power the world's next generation

00:42 networks and we're continuing juniper

00:45 strategy

00:46 of building purpose-built silicon

00:49 optimized for the uniquely diverse

00:52 and demanding challenges for different

00:54 points in the network whether the core

00:57 or the multi-service edge

00:59 so first we're announcing the next

01:01 generation of express silicon

01:04 which we use in our industry-leading

01:07 core routing products the ptx series

01:10 we're announcing the fifth generation

01:11 express 5 supporting the industry's

01:15 highest

01:16 nun blocking throughput performance at

01:18 28.8 terabits per second and with

01:21 amazing power efficiency all in a single

01:24 package

01:25 express 5 is taped out and you'll start

01:28 seeing products from us based on express

01:30 5 starting next year

01:32 secondly we're also announcing the next

01:36 generation of our trio silicon

01:38 used in our mx series multi-service edge

01:41 routers this will be the sixth

01:43 generation so trio six and it is

01:46 optimized for unprecedented

01:48 logical service scale and flexibility

01:52 thirdly we are announcing the first

01:55 suite of mx series line cards and

01:59 chassis that will leverage our trio 6

02:03 new trio 6 silicon

02:05 we are announcing a new 9.6 terabits per

02:08 second line card for the mx 10k 8 based

02:11 on trio 6. we're also announcing a new

02:14 chassis the mx-10 k4 for more

02:17 power and space constrained environments

02:19 it's a modular chassis

02:21 with the best power efficiency

02:24 than

02:25 other modular chassis that we know of on

02:27 the market today

02:28 and thirdly we're announcing the mx304

02:32 that's a fixed configuration routing

02:34 platform

02:36 2iu

02:38 up to 4.8 terabits per second

02:41 and built when space and power are at an

02:44 absolute premium so we're announcing a

02:46 lot

02:48 lots of interesting stuff there we're

02:50 certainly seeing the big broadband

02:51 operators dialing up their residential

02:54 and business

02:56 plans to the 2 gigabit 5 gigabit 10

02:59 gigabit speed and that's going to mean a

03:02 lot of bandwidth to be aggregated and

03:04 routed at the edge and at the core

03:07 so in terms of the upgrade cycle for the

03:10 service providers how do you see these

03:13 new products fitting in what what are

03:15 the market dynamics that you see at play

03:18 you know one thing that we can say

03:20 particularly about service provider

03:22 networks is that change is constant

03:25 and you know we're seeing the emergence

03:26 of new services obviously you know ar vr

03:30 iot connected cities

03:33 and of course 5g deployments which will

03:36 enable new services that we don't even

03:38 know about yet

03:40 and the pandemic has also highlighted

03:42 this continued change where the changes

03:45 in traffic patents services

03:47 subscribers bandwidth etc

03:51 and we also see a continued exponential

03:55 growth in traffic in network traffic and

03:57 that's driving increase increased speeds

04:01 increased throughput and increased

04:03 bandwidth demands across the entire

04:05 network

04:06 and we know service providers need to

04:08 make choices today

04:10 for the next five ten plus years they

04:12 have to place their bets

04:14 and those choices have to support

04:16 whatever's thrown at them tomorrow

04:18 whether that's more traffic

04:20 new services

04:22 more end points and that's more apparent

04:24 now than ever before

04:27 very interesting so

04:29 you know custom silicon seems to have

04:31 always been a part of the juniper story

04:33 ever since the the company got started

04:36 uh why is that why not merchant silicon

04:39 what what is it about juniper and this

04:42 pursuit of custom silicon

04:44 so why is silicon um central to our uh

04:49 story to the juniper story

04:51 well you know to support you know

04:53 customers in our customers in making the

04:56 choices that we just talked about

04:58 and networking silicon strategy has

05:00 always been about the right tool for the

05:03 job

05:04 whether that's leveraging merchant

05:05 silicon

05:06 or leveraging our custom silicon

05:09 innovations whether for massive

05:12 throughput performance

05:13 or unprecedented logical service scale

05:18 and what we see

05:20 particularly with the exponential growth

05:22 in traffic and aggregated

05:24 network speeds that's putting an

05:26 enormous amount of pressure on the core

05:28 of the network which is why express

05:30 is really optimized for raw throughput

05:33 performance

05:34 as well as power efficiency

05:37 and then at the multi-service edge as

05:39 the name implies that's where a lot of

05:42 uh existing and new services are being

05:44 extend instantiated

05:46 so that's driving the need for certainly

05:49 logical service scale and flexibility

05:52 to support a full suite and the complex

05:55 features associated with that full suite

05:57 of services

05:58 residential services consumer broadband

06:01 uh business vpn functions etc for

06:05 hundreds of thousands of subscribers all

06:08 at once

06:09 uh all while securing those subscribers

06:11 and endpoints as well as de delighting

06:14 the experience of customers

06:16 so very different capabilities you've

06:18 got massive throughput for the core

06:21 and very very high

06:23 logical service scale at the

06:24 multi-service edge and that drives very

06:26 very different design needs in

06:29 networking silicon and that's what's

06:31 driving

06:32 our own custom silicon strategy

06:35 and to be honest it's quite unique in

06:37 the industry compared to some of the

06:38 other players
