Research & Education (R&E) Networks facilitate massive collaboration as they connect universities and laboratories to one another and to cloud services and testbeds. Juniper is the equipment vendor of choice for R&E Networks around the world. Our equipment is built around custom ASICs and robust, carrier-proven software to meet the needs of data-intensive science applications without compromising performance or security. We take care of the complexities behind the scenes so researchers can focus on outcomes rather than network operations.
Higher education institutions are complex enterprises with a diverse set of stakeholders including students, faculty, staff, alumni, industry, and community partners, among others. These institutions have academic, research, business, and philanthropic objectives that require a robust, scalable, and resilient network infrastructure.
Higher education institutions are investing in technology to address many common challenges:
- Digitalization and modernization of campus operations
- Providing quality in-person, online, and hybrid education and research experiences
- Diversity and equality across staff, faculty, and student populations
- Improvement of health and well-being for students, faculty, and staff
Go beyond the network by giving your students, faculty, and staff the best in-person and online experiences imaginable.
Schools must be ready to seamlessly deliver digital learning across traditional, remote, or hybrid instructional models while protecting against ever-evolving cybersecurity threats and keeping students healthy and safe.
Juniper Networks, driven by Mist AI, help schools on all these fronts with a network ideally suited for all education environments, including faster and more reliable broadband and Wi-Fi connections, more effective cyber threat protection, and value-add services such as asset location. Whether managing an entire district or a single school, Juniper optimizes the learning process with streamlined operations, simplified troubleshooting, and self-driving operations that let you focus on the children instead of the network.
