Global Tech Firm Achieves Breakthrough With Juniper Mist AI and EVPN- VXLAN Integration

Background:

A new venture under the Tata Group umbrella, focusing on precision component manufacturing, is presently collaborating with the renowned Apple Inc. The transformational project is unfolding at the Hosur campus in Tamil Nadu, where a traditional network is undergoing a pioneering migration. This initiative aims to evolve the existing infrastructure into a cutting-edge Juniper Campus network, enriched with Mist AI technology.

Overview:

The migration project, initiated in November 2022, marks a pivotal moment in the adoption of cutting-edge networking solutions globally. The primary objective was to revamp and restructure the existing traditional network, introducing Juniper's innovative Mist AI technology and EVPN-Vxlan for a comprehensive and efficient wired and wireless networking solution.

Challenges:

The main challenge faced during the migration was addressing the complexity that had accumulated during the initial phases of the plant. The focus was on reducing complexity, ensuring adherence to global networking standards in terms of security, agility, and applicability, and maintaining the security of the network while providing ease of management and scalability.

Key Highlights:

Global Technological Breakthrough:
The project represents a global milestone as the first implementation of a full-scale Mist-AI campus network solution for Juniper devices worldwide.Leveraging Mist AI technology and EVPN-Vxlan, the campus now boasts an efficient and scalable enterprise network with consistency.
Solution Provided & Juniper Device Integration: The migration covered 6 buildings across a sprawling 50-acre campus, showcasing a widespread and complex deployment. A tailored Juniper Campus Switching Solution was implemented, addressing both wired and wireless networking needs via EVPN-Vxlan integrated through Mist AI.
Collaboration with Tata Electronics & Phases of the Migration: The success of the migration underscores the collaborative partnership between the implementation team and client. The term "seamless migration" emphasizes the smooth transition from old Cisco devices to the new Juniper devices, indicating effective communication and teamwork.
Efficiency Gains & Segregation of OT & IT Network:
Operational efficiencies and improved network performance are expected outcomes of the migration, laying the foundation for future scalability. A significant achievement was the successful segregation of OT (Production) and IT networks, a challenging task given the project's scale and geographical spread.

Results & Future Outlook:

This migration project to Juniper Campus Network with Mist AI signifies a ground breaking achievement in the realm of networking. With improved operational efficiencies, heightened security, and a scalable foundation, the client is poised for continued success in its endeavours, including the prestigious project with Apple Inc. This case study highlights the adaptability and compatibility of Juniper's advanced networking solutions with diverse hardware ecosystems, setting a precedent for future innovations in the industry.
