Product Overview

Junos Space Cross Provisioning

Platform (CPP) is a Junos

Space application that acts

like a “manager of managers”

to provision services across

multivendor devices. CPP

facilitates provisioning of E-LINE,

L2/L3 VPN, and virtual private

LAN services (VPLS) between

Juniper and third-party devices. Its

framework can also be extended

to support other vendors’ products

through incremental research and

development efforts.

Product Description

Traditional IT platforms such as operations/business support systems (OSS/BSS) are

typically customized to meet a service provider’s specific service provisioning needs. These

platforms and IT projects require huge upfront CapEx investments. Implementing a new

service, or tweaking a small feature in an existing service profile, is an expensive endeavor

that can take more than a year to accomplish in a typical service provider environment; by

the time it is implemented, the service is often no longer relevant.

As a Juniper Networks® Junos® Space application, Junos Space Cross Provisioning Platform

(CPP) provides a “one-size-fits-all” solution that breaks the existing IT model by enabling

service providers to quickly design and deploy new services in a multivendor network with

minimal financial overhead.

Service providers who need to provision services in a multivendor environment face

multiple challenges, including:

• Tying together element/network management systems (EMS/NMS) from different

vendors and orchestrating services across a multivendor network

• Quickly reacting to customer needs to deliver new services

• Troubleshooting and maintaining services in a multivendor network

Architecture and Key Components

Junos Space CPP uses a script-based approach to service provisioning through the Flex

Services framework, which facilitates flexible service creation and design without requiring

a complicated software development cycle. Complex configurations such as quality of

service (QoS), firewall policies, and business logic can be accommodated easily through

the use of predefined scripts that allow network operators to:

• Create a data model for a new service

• Create a user interface to define new services

• Define business logic for deploying the new service on Juniper and non-Juniper

devices

• Implement complex workflows that provide orchestration and service chaining

functionality

Junos Space CPP supports the following key functionality:

• Common UI for managing services provisioned across only Juniper devices, only non-

Juniper devices, or a combination of both Juniper and non-Juniper devices

• Multivendor service provisioning, including:

- Service resource management (route descriptor, route targets, etc.)

- Device and service discovery

- Templates for a variety of services

- Managed carrier Ethernet services (E-LINE/VLL, E-LAN, L3VPN, and IPTV L3VPN)
