Score 7.5 out of 10
N/A
Juniper 7000 or the BTI Series, now from Juniper Networks since they acquired BTI Systems in late 2016, consists of a number of platforms that address the packet optical transport and Ethernet access requirements of metro and cloud-based networks. Many of the BTI series products are now end of life and end of support. However, products are still available through resellers. The BTI7000 series (e.g. BTI7020, BTI7200, etc) competed with Cisco NCS, notably the NCS 1000 series products.N/A

Based on my experience, I think it's a goldmine for the experienced professional and a hectic job for newbies. I recommend newbies to have some experience and then jump to Cisco Optical Networking so that they can easily understand what they paid for and take the best out of it. It's best for network scalability so I highly recommend it to those who intend to scale their network in the near future however, if you know that your network will remain the same and you don't require it, there are cheaper options within Cisco.

Haven't used any other yet as my company was already using it when I joined, so don't really have any feedback here on this topic.
