Juniper advances its vision for the new Cloud Metro

Juniper Networks outlined its vision, strategy and products for the Cloud Metro – a new category of solutions optimized for metro transformation, sustainable business growth, and powered by AI-enabled, cloud-delivered automation. Cloud Metro is defined as the “new edge”, where connectivity, edge cloud hosting, and service experience converge. Where as the traditional metro network was understood to be the aggregation layer, Juniper envisions that the new Cloud Metro will need extreme scale to handle gigabit residential broadband, 5G backhaul, and business cloud connectivity.
