The switches are available in various configurations, with optional PoE and fanless models for edge deployment flexibility.
Benefits
The EX4000 series promises several benefits, such as simplified operations, enhanced experiences, cost efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. AI-driven operations simplify network management, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) and enhancing overall network reliability. The switches provide a user-centric approach with improved experiences for both wired and wireless networks. They reduce operational costs by leveraging AI for automated insights and assurance. The switches are versatile, supporting a wide range of deployment scenarios, from branch offices to retail environments.
The EX4000 line also offers scalable connectivity purpose-built for Wi-Fi 7. They embody Juniper's commitment to simplifying network operations and enhancing user experiences through AI- and cloud-native solutions. The new switches use an AI- and cloud-native architecture to deliver Day 0, 1, and 2+ wired/wireless experiences.
Juniper Networks has been recognised for its achievements in the network industry. The company is positioned Furthest in Vision and Highest in Ability to Execute in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure. The EX switch line supports all AIOps capabilities inherent in the Mist AI portfolio, including Marvis Virtual Network Assistant. The EX4000 line is considered a cornerstone for organisations navigating digital transformation in the next era of AI-Native Networking.
In addition, Juniper's wired and wireless LAN solution provides enterprises with the fastest way to deploy and easiest way to manage personalised wired and wireless experiences. The company is the highest scoring vendor in all five wired and wireless Use Cases in the accompanying Gartner Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure report.
The EX4000 series also offers assistance in accelerating design, deployment, and operations, including seamless migrations from other vendors' solutions, thanks to Juniper AI Advanced Care Professional Services. The Mist AI mobile application accelerates installation by enabling IT staff to claim, name, and assign switches quickly. The switches also offer Perpetual Power over Ethernet (PPoE) across all ports for uninterrupted power delivery. The EX4000 line was designed with customer input to better prepare organisations for today's networks. Fast deployment and configuration are possible with Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and automation.
