Juniper MX Series Routers – Powering Edge, Core, and Cloud Networks
The Juniper MX Series routers deliver unmatched scalability, automation, and performance for service providers, enterprises, and cloud operators. Engineered to handle massive traffic demands while ensuring operational efficiency, the MX Series offers options from compact, energy-efficient designs to hyperscale core platforms.
Compact and Metro-Optimized Models
For metro and edge environments requiring high performance in a small footprint, MX304 and MX10003 lead the way.
-
The MX304 offers 4.8 Tbps throughput in a compact 2 RU chassis, supporting 1/10/25/50/100/400GbE ports. It’s ideal for metro aggregation, edge routing, and high-speed service delivery.
-
The MX10003 provides 2.4 Tbps capacity in just 3 RU, with inline MACsec encryption, MPLS, and SDN capabilities, ensuring secure and agile service deployment.
Both models excel in space-constrained, high-density deployments where energy efficiency is critical.
Mid-Range, High-Density Platforms
The MX2008 and MX10004 balance scale with versatility.
-
MX2008 delivers 16 Tbps in a 10 RU form factor, supporting 1/10/40/100/400GbE interfaces. It’s designed for scalable edge and core networking, with advanced automation to reduce operational complexity.
-
MX10004 offers 38.4 Tbps throughput in 7 RU, making it ideal for edge, core, and cloud interconnect use cases. It supports Segment Routing and 400GbE, enabling seamless high-capacity connectivity.
These routers are perfect for networks growing toward cloud-scale infrastructure without the footprint of full hyperscale systems.
Hyperscale and Core Network Solutions
For the most demanding service provider and data center environments, the MX Series offers MX960, MX2010, MX2020, MX10008, and MX10016.
-
The MX960 delivers 7.5 Tbps in a 14 RU modular chassis, with rich Layer 2/3 support and CGNAT capabilities for carrier networks.
-
MX2010 and MX2020 scale further, offering 40 Tbps and 80 Tbps respectively, built for core, edge, and data center interconnect workloads. They support EVPN, MPLS, and high-speed IPsec.
-
MX10008 delivers 76.8 Tbps in a 13 RU chassis, enabling hyperscale network expansion with 1/10/25/40/100/400GbE flexibility.
-
MX10016 is the flagship, providing a staggering 153.6 Tbps throughput for hyperscale edge/core, with MACsec, MPLS, and carrier-grade reliability.
These platforms are designed for non-stop operation, investment protection, and future-proof scalability.
Virtualized and Cloud-Native Options
For operators seeking agility and cloud readiness, the vMX Virtual Router brings MX Series features to x86 and cloud platforms. Offering up to 100 Gbps throughput, it supports full Layer 2/3, MPLS, CGNAT, and NFV, enabling rapid service deployment without physical hardware constraints.
