Turkey’s National Airline Transforms Global Network with Juniper Networks
August 2012 by Marc Jacob
Juniper Networks announced that Turkish Airlines, Turkey’s national airline with over 200
global locations, has upgraded its global network and standardized on Juniper Networks’
integrated portfolio of software, switching, security and routing products.
Turkish Airlines’ new
network has simplified and centralized the airline’s infrastructure, delivering an estimated cost
savings of approximately $9.5 million in five years in employee resources, $6 million in
telecommunication costs and $3.1 million in support services.
Turkish Airlines switched from a legacy fixed-line distributed network to Juniper’s highperformance
network infrastructure that provides simplified, centralized and secure remote
management of its 300 sales offices around the world and support for its voice and data
applications including reservations and ticket sales. The airline also consolidated all of its
distributed servers into a centralized single server farm located at its headquarters in Istanbul,
enabling the airline to standardize its systems, increase its bandwidth and simplify the
management of its remote services.

ADSL and VDSL broadband with 3G backup using Juniper Networks® SRX Series
