Background

A new venture under the Tata Group umbrella, focusing on precision component manufacturing, is presently collaborating with the renowned Apple Inc. The transformational project is unfolding at the Hosur campus in Tamil Nadu, where a traditional network is undergoing a pioneering migration — evolving the existing infrastructure into a cutting-edge Juniper Campus network enriched with Mist AI technology.

Overview

The migration project, initiated in November 2022, marks a pivotal moment in the adoption of cutting-edge networking solutions globally. The primary objective was to revamp and restructure the existing traditional network, introducing Juniper's innovative Mist AI technology and EVPN-VXLAN for a comprehensive and efficient wired and wireless networking solution.

Challenges

The main challenge faced during the migration was addressing the complexity that had accumulated during the initial phases of the plant. The focus was on reducing complexity, ensuring adherence to global networking standards in terms of security, agility and applicability, and maintaining the security of the network while providing ease of management and scalability.

Key Highlights

Global Technological BreakthroughThe first implementation of a full-scale Mist-AI campus network solution for Juniper devices worldwide. Leveraging Mist AI and EVPN-VXLAN, the campus now boasts an efficient and scalable enterprise network with consistency.
Solution & Juniper Device IntegrationThe migration covered 6 buildings across a sprawling 50-acre campus. A tailored Juniper Campus Switching Solution addressed both wired and wireless needs via EVPN-VXLAN integrated through Mist AI.
Collaboration & Phased MigrationA collaborative partnership enabled a seamless transition from old Cisco devices to new Juniper devices — emphasizing effective communication and teamwork.
Efficiency Gains & OT/IT SegregationOperational efficiencies and improved performance, plus a significant achievement: the successful segregation of OT (Production) and IT networks across a project of this scale.

Results & Future Outlook

This migration to a Juniper Campus Network with Mist AI signifies a groundbreaking achievement in networking. With improved operational efficiencies, heightened security and a scalable foundation, the client is poised for continued success in its endeavours — including the prestigious project with Apple Inc.

This case study highlights the adaptability and compatibility of Juniper's advanced networking solutions with diverse hardware ecosystems, setting a precedent for future innovations in the industry.
