Juniper Networks, a global leader for secure, artificial intelligence (AI)-native networking, has launched a new solution tailored for neocloud, traditional service providers (SPs), and other AI cloud providers managing GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) offerings.
This innovative solution accelerates time-to-market, streamlines operations, and reduces service management costs, all while delivering high-performance data center networks optimized for multi-tenant environments.
Driven by the need to lower costs and boost agility, enterprises increasingly turn to neocloud and traditional SPs for on-demand AI services. These providers establish optimized infrastructures that provide enhanced performance and competitive pricing, enabling pay-as-you-go models for GPUs, which make AI development more accessible.
As enterprises increasingly seek on-demand AI services, Juniper’s solution allows providers to deploy highly optimized, cost-effective, and multi-tenant cloud-based infrastructure. Comprised of QFX Series Switches, PTX Series Routers, and SRX Series Firewalls managed via Juniper Apstra data center assurance software and Mist AI, the solution supports training and inference, including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), with high-performing, scalable, and secure networks.

Navigating the Key Benefits
Juniper’s offerings utilize automation to speed up deployment and streamline operations. Through intent-based networking and Mist AI, Juniper simplifies Day 0/1/2+ operations, ultimately reducing costs by up to 85&% and slashing deployment times by up to 10 times.
The company’s zero trust and multi-tenancy features safeguard users and confidential data from internal and external threats. The SRX 4700 next-generation firewall delivers firewall throughput of up to 1.4 Tbps and supports 400 Gbps interfaces with wire-speed MACsec for data protection.
Providers can validate AI models before deployment through Juniper’s Ops4AI Lab across various platforms. The solution also offers open flexibility to avoid vendor lock-in while reducing costs and ensuring rapid innovation.
Praveen Jain, Senior Vice President & General Manager for Data Center and AI at Juniper Networks, highlighted, “Managed AI services, such as GPUaaS and AlaaS, have been growing rapidly. To capture the demand, neocloud, traditional SPs, and other AI cloud providers need to move fast and deliver exceptional value. Juniper is excited to deliver a purpose-built solution for these providers, expediting their journey towards offering unique and compelling services with the performance, security, automation, and open flexibility their customers demand.”
Juniper’s launch of the new purpose-built solution supports its continued momentum in AI data centers. The company now holds a leading 49% share of the 800G OEM market, according to 650 Group’s Q1-Q3 2024 revenue shipment report.
As businesses worldwide seek industry-leading switching, routing, security, and automated operations, the solution marks the latest addition to Juniper’s ‘Networks for AI’ portfolio.
