Juniper Networks announced that Capital Online selected Juniper Networks to build an expanded network infrastructure to support its ever-growing cloud business while simplifying network operations management through automation. China’s cloud computing industry has experienced robust growth in recent years and is expected to reach ¥367.05 billion by 20231. As one of the few service providers that offer both Internet Data Center (IDC) and cloud computing services in China, Capital Online serves nearly 40% of the top 100 internet companies nationwide, including organizations across various booming industries such as gaming, e-commerce, education and big data. As one of the leading cloud computing service providers in China, Capital Online plays an integral role as a key enabler in further driving the overall growth of China’s digital economy. Given this digital explosion, Capital Online is focused on achieving cloud network convergence through Juniper’s experience-first approach to networking solutions, and is on track to support the expansion of its cloud business globally while delivering a superior end-user experience. With the implementation of Juniper Apstra’s open, multi-vendor intent-based networking design, Capital Online is able to transform its data centre operations by leveraging AI-driven automation. This allows for greater flexibility and more predictable outcomes across their data center operations while providing the building blocks of a strong foundation for the development of a self-driving network (SDN). By deploying Juniper Networks QFX Series Switches, MX Series Universal Routing Platforms and SRX Series Services Gateways, Capital Online is well-positioned to develop a secure cloud-network convergence infrastructure that can seamlessly grow with its evolving data center needs and meet the demands of its thriving business.
