UBS invests in next generation data centre network infrastructure

Many financial service institutions face unprecedented pressures ranging from changing economic conditions to increased regulations and rapidly evolving technologies - all while needing to optimise their cost structure. According to Gartner, sixty-eight percent of banking and investment institutions will change their technology and sourcing approach in the next two to three years.* It’s apparent that financial firms are seeking IT solutions that will balance their need for increased flexibility and application performance with cost discipline. These institutions must implement a new set of principles to align IT infrastructure with business strategy, requiring an IT architecture and network that can react with speed, agility and at scale to guarantee performance and deliver competitive advantage while driving cost takeout.

UBS plans to implement key components of Juniper Networks® MetaFabric™ architecture, an open standards-based architecture with proven routing, switching, security, management and orchestration solutions, to support the bank’s current and future business goals.

Juniper will build a carrier-class, ultra-scalable, network architecture for UBS.

Juniper’s solution will deliver a resilient and secure global infrastructure.

Juniper software will deliver advanced orchestration via automation, management, and data analytics.
