In today’s sponsored Heavy Networking episode, Juniper Networks’ Contrail SD-WAN is on the agenda.

We get a detailed look at how Contrail SD-WAN operates, examine key security features and capabilities, and explore new options including Contrail SD-WAN as a cloud service managed by Juniper.

We also examine Juniper’s competing differentiators, including scale, a focus on app Quality of Experience (QoE), the ability to customize the solution, and how Contrail SD-WAN can extend into the branch LAN and Wi-Fi networks for management and security.

Our guest is Tony Sarathchandra, Director of Product Management at Juniper.

We discuss:

* How Juniper’s SRX and NFX fit into the solution

* The role of Contrail Service Orchestration

* Investment protection in the solution

* Juniper’s ability to scale to more than 10,000 endpoints with a single SD-WAN controller

* Built-in security features and the ability to integrate third-party security software and services

* Juniper’s new cloud-hosted solution

* Integration with Mist APs and the Mist Cloud for operational visibility in the branch
