Case Study: America’s Test Kitchen achieves a scalable, high-performance network and unified security with Juniper Networks

America’s Test Kitchen’s Passion for Cooking Shines Through with The Right Network Ingredients

America’s Test Kitchen, a fast-growing media company behind popular TV shows, magazines, websites and an online cooking school, faced the challenge of building a brand-new IT infrastructure to support heavy media workflows, UHD video and ongoing expansion after moving to a new Seaport headquarters. With a small IT team, the company needed a high-performance, scalable and secure network that could be deployed quickly and managed centrally.

The company deployed a Juniper-based solution—QFX5100 and EX4300 switches, SRX1500 gateway, Juniper Sky Advanced Threat Prevention and Junos Space Network/ Security Director—to create a simple, high-throughput data center fabric with integrated security and single-pane management. The result was a seamless cutover with no user downtime, a scalable foundation for future growth and multicloud readiness, stronger threat protection, increased end-to-end visibility and lower operational overhead and TCO.
