We use the solution to host many services for multiple clients. We aim to transition from hosting Cisco clients to utilizing virtual appliances. Therefore, we intend to virtualize their infrastructure using OpenStack alongside Contrail. OpenStack primarily manages its private cloud infrastructure, while Contrail handles network connections, including GXLane terminations and related tasks.
We're using all three topologies– wireless, wiring, and edge, which are connected using Juniper products. Specifically, for wireless, we use the Juniper product P32 and P33, while for switches, we use EX2300, EX3300, and EX4300. For edge, we use the Juniper sub-products 130 and 120. We have two sectors, retail and healthcare, and we've deployed this infrastructure in both sectors to connect multiple branches and data centers on the cloud where all applications are hosted. We're using serverless VPN to connect cloud and on-premises, with all applications hosted on Azure. All users access these applications from their offices, and remote workers use VPN to access the data from home. This is the use case we've deployed in our organization using Juniper Control Networking.
