Case Study: eBay Classifieds Group accelerates service activation and cuts provisioning to hours with Juniper Networks Contrail and QFX5100

eBay Classifieds Group Blends Cloud, SDN to Accelerate New Services and Features

eBay Classifieds Group, which runs 12 local brands across more than 1,000 cities worldwide, needed to speed delivery of new websites, features, and marketing campaigns that previously took months to provision due to hardware procurement and complex, market-specific requirements. The company sought a cloud and virtualization approach to support many internal clients, scale QA and production environments quickly, and avoid time-consuming physical data center changes.

Using Juniper’s Contrail Cloud Platform, Contrail Networking and QFX5100 switches, eBay Classifieds automated virtual network creation, enabled hybrid-cloud integrations, and implemented zero-touch provisioning. The result: development and IaaS environments can be spun up or torn down in hours (sometimes less), QA provisioning accelerated, fewer physical interventions are required, and a single-vendor solution simplified support—turning faster activation into a consistent competitive advantage.
