It's possible to scale if you plan ahead. The products are very much defined to the load, in terms of MBPS. If I'm talking about a hundred MBPS products, we have to initial levels, we have to think, what will be our maximum load? If we will plan that product well at the time of deployment, then we don't have any problems. That's the main thing. To scale, we have to know in advance what may be our load in the future, maybe after one year or maybe after two years. If you do this, then everything will be fine on Juniper. You don't have to change the router.
We have ten to 15 users on it right now.
View full review »It is scalable. It has both vertical and horizontal scalability. It depends on the customer's network deployment . You can scale it up within the same chassis. For example, someone running on MPC2 or MPC3 cards can upgrade to a 40gig, 100gig, or 10gig platform without buying new equipment. They just need to upgrade the control cards, routing engines, and line cards. So it's scalable in that way, too.
I've been using virtual chassis on MX for over seven years. It works well for subscriber management, on MX240, MX480, and MX960. Then, you have the EVPN . The model there is for scalability and scaling up.
Now, Juniper has finally introduced modules for service providers and published a couple of Juniper-validated designs which is impressive. These designs recommend how to scale your network and help you design a network that can meet your needs.

The product offers good scalability. This was for a country-wide setup, so we were handling traffic for millions of users.

I rate the tool’s scalability a seven out of ten. Once we have the modular chassis, expansion is easier. We just need to buy the card and expand the router. We have 1000 to 3000 routers.

The product can scale. It's not a problem to expand it.
It is our mainstay, actually. We run all of our internet activity on it.
We have more than 1,000 users on the solution currently. We likely will also increase usage.
View full review »Juniper Enterprise Routers is a scalable solution. The version of the solution we have is highly scalable which are the MX960 and MX480. We have some less advanced versions of the solution that are not as scalable.
I would rate it a nine as well. We are implementing MX Routers in various environments, testing new features. I estimate it to be more than four hundred users.

In terms of scalability, it's excellent, especially for Ethernet providers in Ukraine where there has been significant growth. The switches have proven to be scalable for customers with varying network requirements.

The scalability of the solution is excellent. I would rate it as a ten out of ten.
View full review »We can scale the solution well. We have about 30 to 40 people on it currently. Mostly, they are engineers.
View full review »Scalability is very good. You can change modules inside interfaces in this, for example, modular router. We've moved, for five or seven years, between different types.
That said, a half year ago I had a problem. We bought a new MX 480 for connection between two devices. One old device, which we bought it eight years ago, and a new one. We had to use an old version of mixed MIC devices inside this router to bind the new router.
We have about 20 people using the solution right now.

The product is scalable. It's not hard to expand as needed.
We have around 300 users.
We may increase usage in the future, however, I do not have exact details.

The scalability is currently not satisfactory. We have a device that needs ten terabytes of gig capacity, but currently, Juniper provides four Terabytes, which isn’t satisfactory for our needs. I would rate it a seven out of ten.

The solution is scalable. It's very flexible. It's worked well for us over the years.
The amount of users varies from customer to customer. Their sizes vary from ten locations to more than one thousand. Each client is unique and has different scaling needs.

With respect to scalability, this is one of the best solutions that I have ever seen. I have been deploying solutions for ten years in the Arab Gulf areas like the UAE, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia.

It is not scalable, unfortunately. It has a limited interface number, so we cannot scale it very well. About 4,000 users in our organization take advantage of its services.

There are three or four thousand end-users daily. We require four technicians for maintenance.
Scalability is an aspect in which we'd like to have more options. It's not easy to scale when we are limited to one or two 10G ports.

These routers are definitely scalable and can be integrated easily into the environment.
Our customers are not very big companies. They have a base of between 100,000 and 200,000 customers.

When it comes to scalability, the MX104 and the EX switches are easy. However, the SRX500 model is very hard to scale.
I'm not sure how many users that our clients have, but in our group, we all use the Juniper devices.
