A global financial services firm deploys MX480-PREMIUM2-DC-MX480-BASE-AC with configurable redundant Routing Engine SCBs and dual PEM modules at its primary data center edge to deliver hybrid cloud connectivity and business-critical applications. In a live migration to AWS and Azure, the dual-RE architecture provides sub-50 ms failover and 400 Gbps of firewall-bypassed throughput, ensuring 99.999% uptime for trading platforms. The outcome is uninterrupted transaction processing, consistent compliance with SLAs, and simplified operational management through Junos automation.
A Tier-1 telecom operator consolidates regional PoPs using MX480-PREMIUM2-DC-MX480-BASE-AC equipped with configurable redundant RE SCBs and power entry modules (PEMs). Supporting up to 20 slots of 100 GbE line cards, the deployment aggregates mobile backhaul and enterprise VPN traffic, delivering 800 Gbps per chassis with sub-100 µs latency. The dual control-plane resiliency and hot-swap PEMs minimize maintenance windows, while trunk-level QoS and deep buffer management reduce packet loss under peak load. The result is scalable subscriber growth at 30% lower OPEX and deterministic SLAs for latency-sensitive services.
A hyperscale cloud provider leverages MX480-PREMIUM2-DC-MX480-BASE-AC with configurable redundant routing engines and hot-swappable PEMs to host virtual CPE (vCPE), SD-WAN, and secure VPN offerings. Integrated with Junos Fusion and Virtual Chassis technology, the solution partitions a single physical chassis into multiple logical routers, ensuring strict tenant isolation and per-slice traffic engineering. The redundant RE SCBs deliver consistent control-plane performance, while dual power feeds guarantee 24/7 availability. Customers benefit from rapid on-demand provisioning, PCI DSS compliance, and predictable performance at cloud-native scale.
