"We've traditionally been a single vendor shop when it comes to networking but when we looked at the options for implementing a next-generation switching infrastructure, the Juniper Networks solution was compelling. We now have a single-layer, low-latency 10 Gigabit data center fabric, which is optimal for virtualized operations, with massive capacity so there's no need for an aggregation layer in the campus network. And from a network administration standpoint, life is so much simpler because we just have a handful of devices to manage from the single console and we're also benefitting from considerably reduced space and power footprints."
-Stan Fang, executive vice president, Computer Division EVA AIRWAYS CORPORATION
"The airline industry is a tough business to be in, with very tight margins, and both internal and external customers expect non-stop online services. EVA Air is now in a position to fully leverage the benefits of data center virtualization to provide service more efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively. Thanks to Juniper's radical simplification of the network, the company may now reap the economical benefits of a cutting edge network."
-Mike Marcellin, senior vice president of Strategy and Marketing, Juniper Networks
