The Juniper Networks ACX7100 Series is designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and user experience goals. The ACX7100 offers great power efficiency in a compact form factor. It delivers ASIC forwarding capacity, cloud-inspired native port speeds that include a small form-factor pluggable transceiver interfaces, and Media Access Control Security (MACsec) options - making it ideal for metro high-end aggregation, large enterprise, and top-of-rack, spine-leaf data center applications. The ACX7100 is fully equipped to help operators realize their capital and operational objectives while thriving in the 5G, IoT, and cloud era. Platform capabilities include deep buffers, a full complement of Layer 2/Layer 3 and MPLS protocols and features, advanced programmability, telemetry, and network slicing technologies enabling dynamic service creation, and the ability to seamlessly integrate with emerging distributed edge compute architectures. Designed for metro, large enterprise, and data center use cases, the ACX7100 is also a foundational building block of an IP services fabric in a Juniper Cloud Metro solution.
The ACX7100-48L provides full-duplex ASIC throughput in a 1U fixed platform designed for applications that require dense fan-out in a small, power-efficient footprint. It supports cloud-inspired service rates, and port-by-port configuration on all service ports for granular aggregation in metro, large enterprise, and data center applications.

• Universal metro access and aggregation
  ACX Series platforms offer a full suite of routing features, allowing you to choose a deployment model that fits your exacting business and technical requirement. Create a converged multiservice metro or Cloud Metro architecture that supports your business, residential, and wholesale connectivity service needs. The ACX Series can be deployed as highly versatile access routers, Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and virtual private LAN service (VPLS) routers, MPLS label-switching (LSR) routers, and as Layer 2 Ethernet or Layer 3 IP routers.
• Data center and edge compute
  The ACX7100 router is ideal for data center/cloud applications, with support for multiple overlay encapsulation methods, including Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), network virtualization using GRE (NVGRE), MPLS over UDP, MPLS over GRE, SRMPLS, and SR-v6.
• Enterprise WAN
  Enterprises and government agencies worldwide use ACX Series platforms to build their own Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS networks.
• Mobile backhaul
  ACX Series platforms support highly scalable and reliable hardware-based timing that meets strict 4G/5G requirements. These include synchronous Ethernet for frequency and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronization, enabling deploy.
• Multiservice solution
  The ACX7100 is designed to support all types of services and applications. Operators will find use in case-specific features like VXLANs, which are popular in data centers, as well as universal features like MACsec. These advanced solutions come equipped to address huge challenges, and they are engineered to evolve to address unknown challenges. Unlike vertically targeted platforms from other vendors where product development teams focus on the requirements of a specific market vertical, Juniper identifies specific features that support multiple use cases.
• Stringent mobile backhaul requirements
  Wholesale connectivity services, including mobile backhaul, cloud connect, branch office interconnect, and others, are a significant source of revenue for network operators. As mobile operators continue to build out their 5G physical and virtualized infrastructures and operations, metro operators will encounter increasing opportunities to showcase and profit from their network capabilities for connectivity services. To deliver upon the agility, scale, latency, and experience expectations of 5G mobile operators and consumers, capabilities and architectures will be required, as prescribed by a Juniper Cloud Metro.
• Automation and programmability
  To stay ahead of your users' ever-changing business and personal requirements, your network must be more responsive, insightful, elastic, and resilient. In short, you need an automated, service-assured network. Juniper Paragon Automation, combined with an IP service fabric comprised of Cloud Metroready platforms featuring the ACX7100 router, can help you gain a competitive advantage. The Paragon Automation Portfolio offers modular cloud-native software applications that deliver closed-loop automation, ensuring that end users receive an assured user experience throughout the life of their service at service provider, large enterprise, and cloud scale. Juniper Paragon Automation will allow you to plan, model, and verify services before deployment, orchestrate end-to-end services, actively verify service quality across physical and virtual networks, and correlate network health by leveraging machine learning. Combined, these capabilities enable Juniper to provide operators with predictive analytics and gray failure analysis. The Paragon Automation Portfolio also simplifies path optimizations, slice creation, and management of your network.
