<p>IBM® j-type data center solutions that run Junos software provide operational agility and efficiency that dramatically simplifies the network and delivers unprecedented savings. This solution enables a network design with fewer devices, interconnections, and network tiers. Beyond the obvious cost advantages, the design enables the following key benefits:<br><ul><br><li>Reduces latency <br><li>Simplifies device management <br><li>Delivers significant power, cooling, and space savings <br><li>Eliminates multiple system failure points <br><li>Performs pervasive security<br></ul><br>The high-performance data center is built around IBM j-type e-series switches, m-series routers, and s-series firewalls. It is a new family of powerful products that help shape the next-generation dynamic infrastructure.</p><p>IBM j-type s-series Ethernet Appliances perform essential networking security functions and are ready for next-generation data center services and applications. Designed on top of the Junos operating system, s-series Ethernet Appliances provide flexible processing scalability, I/O scalability, network segmentation, and services integration.</p><p>In this Redbooks® publication, we target IT professionals who sell, design, or administer IBM j-type networking solutions and cover the basic installation and maintenance of the IBM j-type s-series Ethernet Appliance hardware.</p>
