Juniper Contrail Edge Cloud
Juniper Networks has its Contrail family, which is a set of offerings that provide a software-defined approach to multi-cloud and fabric management, automation for infrastructures and service management, as well as analytics in multi-cloud environments.
Specifically, Contrail Edge Cloud is aimed at service providers looking to deploy new services at the space- and power-constrained network edge, according to Santa Clara, Calif.-based Juniper. Contrail Edge Cloud abstracts and virtualizes compute, storage and networking resources efficiently and economically in environments such as central offices, base stations, hubs and switching sites. Contrail Edge Cloud extends the capabilities of Contrail Networking and Contrail Security, augmented by Kubernetes, to provide container networking, security and service chaining for emerging applications, such as IoT, Juniper Networks said.
