Juniper Networks won a deal from Hong Kong based cloud provider, Cyberport to facilitate migration process from traditional data center architecture to a more flexible and agile cloud infrastructure as it intends to enhance its top line revenue and control cost. Cyberport will deploy Juniper Networks' Contrail  as the virtual network solution for its Cyberport Community Cloud.

The new offering from Cyberport is designed to give ICT (information and communications technology) start-ups hands-on experience with a state-of-the-art cloud environment and serve as a gateway to public cloud services. Juniper Networks Contrail will enable Cyberport to offer network-as-a-service within its community cloud. The introduction of a self-service portal enables Cyberport customers to subscribe and self-provision compute, storage, network assets and enjoy bandwidth on-demand

Cyberport has been testing and piloting a cloud computing environment, based on the OpenStack  cloud orchestration system for its community start-up companies since 2010 and was one of Juniper's global customers to be involved in Juniper Networks Contrail solution trials.

"Over 30 cloud-based applications developed by the start-up community have been tested on Cyberport's pilot cloud platform as part of a highly-successful Contrail proof-of-concept trial," said Juniper in a release.
Cyberport will deploy a Juniper Networks MX80 3D Universal Edge Router for network bandwidth and IP provisioning. Cyberport will also leverage Contrail's open standard protocols to orchestrate on-the-fly configuration changes across its data center switching and routing infrastructure to establish virtual networks that dynamically support operations in the community cloud
