Application Control
The WX Series platform’s Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities
allow IT to assign priority and set bandwidth levels to ensure that
business-critical and latency-sensitive applications such as Voice
over IP (VoIP) always have sufficient bandwidth. The easy-to-use
Juniper QoS implementation preserves QoS markings applied by
other devices as needed and transparently map traffic onto carrier
classes of service.
In addition, a congestion control feature that tightly couples the
WX Series platform’s QoS engine with the MSR compression
technology allows QoS policies to dynamically detect changes
in bandwidth availability and adjust allocation and prioritization
schemes accordingly.
The WX Series platform also offers a Policy-based Multipath
feature which enables IT to assign applications to a specific
path in locations served by multiple WAN links. The WX Series
platform monitors loss and latency characteristics on each link
and automatically diverts applications to the alternate path if
performance falls below acceptable levels.
WX CMS Soware
An embedded WebView feature and the WX Central Management
System (WX CMS) software provide visibility into and control over
the WX Series devices. The WX CMS software allows IT to monitor
application performance across multiple WX Series or WXC Series
devices, enabling extensive configuration and management
capabilities. Individual device monitoring and configuration is
accomplished via the WebView device management feature or the
command line interface (CLI).
Easy Installation and Configuration
The WX Series platforms can be deployed and configured in just
10 minutes using a web-based installation wizard. The WX Series
platform and WX CMS soware also enable fully automated
configuration; IT simply defines centralized configuration templates
and, when remote WX Series devices boot up, they retrieve a network
address via DHCP, locate the WX CMS soware server through the
domain name service (DNS), download their configuration file, and
begin operation.
The WX Series platforms also support a number of redundancy
features and configurations, including redundant power supplies,
to ensure uninterrupted operation. In the event of any failure, the
WX Series platforms automatically convert to hardware bypass
mode, allowing traffic to pass through untouched.
The WX Series platforms operate independently and are
transparent to other network devices. WX Series products can be
installed directly inline between a LAN switch and WAN router, or
they can be deployed offline attached to an available Ethernet
port on the switch or router. The WX Series platforms also work
effectively alongside VPN servers, firewalls, and other security
devices, where they optimize traffic before it is encrypted.
