JUNOS Network Operating System
- One operating system with a single source base of code and a single implementation for each feature
- Single software release train extended through a highly disciplined and firmly scheduled development process
- Common modular software architecture that scales across all JUNOS™ platforms
Overview
JUNOS software is the trusted network operating system driving Juniper Networks leadership in high-performance networking. Migrating to JUNOS software provides a more available, operations efficient and flexible network foundation for the high-performance business.
Service providers, businesses, and public sector organizations that deploy JUNOS software benefit from its three strategic advantages:
- Continuous Systems: improve the availability and delivery of services through fault-tolerant, high-performance software design and high availability features along with tools that prevent human errors and support proactive operations functions
- Automated Operations: drive efficiency to lower operations expense and operations error through a reduction in complexity, including a single implementation of each feature, error-resilient configuration, on-box scripts to automate operations tasks, and the upgrade ease of one release train
- Flexible Innovation: enhance agility to deliver new services through the open, standards-based philosophy and graceful extensibility of JUNOS software that adapts to new, perhaps unforeseen, needs with minimal cost and risk
Fundamentally, the advantages of JUNOS software over other network operating systems result from authentic differences in how Juniper builds it — one operating system enhanced through one release train and developed from one modular architecture are the foundations to delivering the long standing JUNOS software values.
Features and Benefits
JUNOS software helps customers in specific, measurable ways to improve the availability and delivery of services, to reduce operations effort and errors, and to meet new business needs — with a long list of distinct attributes that set it apart from other network operating systems.

JUNOS Software Attributes |
Continuous Systems
Improve the availability, performance and security of services |
- Fault-tolerant modularity - enhances software stability and uptime with
independent operation and restart of modules.
- Dedicated resources for routing and packet forwarding - provide predictable performance as new services are activated and with a command-line interface (CLI) that doesn't lock-up.
- High availability features - preserve forwarding and routing operations during device events with non-stop forwarding, Graceful Routing Engine Switchover, non-stop routing, etc.
- Single release train - enables the development control and extensive regression testing that underlie the software stability.
- Secure Operating System - protects with secure administration and advanced security features, including Stateful firewall, VPNs, etc. that deliver high throughput with many activated policies.
- Automated operations (see row below) - prevent human errors and provide proactive measures to reduce the total number, severity and duration of events.

Automated Operations
Reduce operations effort and errors |
- Single implementation of each feature - provides a common user experience
regardless of platform to simplify deployment and training.
- Error-resilient configuration - prevents incomplete or incorrect configurations from becoming active in the network.
- On-box, custom commit scripts - ensure that configurations are error-free and in compliance to each organization's policies to prevent outages and security vulnerabilities caused by human error.
- On-box, custom operation (op) scripts and event policies - automate finding and proactively resolving issues from the first, leading indicators to reduce the number, severity and duration of events.
- Single release train - removes significant risk and effort from network upgrades.

Flexible Innovation
Meet new business needs |
- Session Resource and Control portfolio and Open IP Service Creation Program
- extend policy and control to applications and other systems to
deliver a rich set of IP services.
- NETCONF/XML interfaces - support flexible integration to management and operations systems.
- JUNOScope IP Service Manager 413 KB and J-Web 86 KB provide central and web-based management of JUNOS-based platforms.
- Systematic development process - predictably provides many new features each quarter to protect investment by meeting new service needs.
