About Juniper/Infradata

Infradata is a leading network integrator dedicated to supply, implement and maintain Next Generation Networks for service providers and network Operators.

The Next Generation Network is an IP only infrastructure for voice, video en data in which the distinction in end user experience between fixed and wireless networks is minimized. The power behind the use of these developments is cost savings, higher profitability and simplicity for service providers and network Operators as well as their customers.

Infradata is a vendor and independent provider of complete Next Generation Network solutions and services. Infradata designs, builds and maintains network infrastructures. We can deliver complete and turn-key projects. As an independent Network Integrator, Infradata stands for the 'best of breed' concept. We have partnerships with the technology leaders in the communications market. Service providers and network Operators can outsource their complete technical services.

Next to that, Infradata offers the (shared) virtual network concept for service providers who do not want to maintain their own network. Infradata offers the newest technology without the need for intensive training of staff and/or capital investments.

The network switching for the platform has been implemented by using the Juniper Qfabric System. The QFabric System is composed of multiple components working together as a single switch to provide high-performance, any-to-any connectivity and management simplicity in the data center. The QFabric System flattens the entire data center network to a single tier where all access points are equal, eliminating the effects of network locality and making it the ideal network foundation for Cloud-ready, virtualized data centers.
