Juniper PTX10008 – 8-Slot 100GbE/400GbE Modular Router

Guide price: Price range: £35,823.86 through £72,500.00 Ex. VAT

Product Overview

The Juniper PTX10008 is a high-performance, modular packet transport router designed for service provider core, peering and cloud data-centre networks that demand massive throughput, flexible multi-rate connectivity and robust routing scale. It uses a 13 RU chassis with eight line-card slots and runs Junos OS Evolved for comprehensive Layer 2/Layer 3, MPLS/IP, segment routing and automation features. With scalable switch-fabric options and support for dense 100 GbE and 400 GbE interfaces, the PTX10008 delivers carrier-class performance in space-efficient deployments.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The PTX10008 is suited to carrier-grade core, peering and aggregation layers in large-scale IP networks where dense 100 GbE/400 GbE connectivity and ultra-high throughput are essential. Its modular architecture and scalable switch-fabric options support internet peering, data-centre interconnect, metro core and backbone transport, with rich protocol support for MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN and segment routing enabling advanced traffic engineering and multiservice delivery. High-availability features and automation integration make it appropriate for critical WAN and cloud-scale environments where service continuity, programmability and operational efficiency are priorities.

Key Features

  • Modular chassis: 13 RU platform with 8 line-card slots and multiple switch-fabric configurations.
  • Forwarding capacity: Up to 115.2 Tbps system throughput with appropriate switch fabric.
  • Line-card flexibility: Supports a range of modular interface cards for high-density 100 GbE and 400 GbE connectivity (optics and specific cards vary by build).
  • Chassis cooling: Front-to-back airflow design for predictable thermal management.
  • Redundancy: Full hardware redundancy options for cooling, power supplies, switch fabric and control plane.
  • Routing & protocols: Full IPv4/IPv6 routing with MPLS, BGP/OSPF/IS-IS, EVPN-VXLAN and advanced traffic engineering under Junos OS Evolved.
  • High availability: Graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and nonstop active routing (NSR) to minimise disruption during upgrades.
  • Management: CLI plus support for automated orchestration and monitoring via Paragon Automation or Juniper Routing Director.
