Paragon Planner, developed by Juniper Networks, is a cloud-native modeling tool designed for offline visualization and detailed architectural planning of production networks. According to the vendor, this software enables network operators, architects, and planners to accurately forecast the impact of network changes and simulate various traffic scenarios without disrupting the production network. Paragon Planner is intended for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises, and is commonly used in the telecommunications and internet service provider (ISP) industries.

## Key Features

**Topology Visualization**: According to the vendor, Paragon Planner can identify and catalog network infrastructure devices, collect and manage label-switched path (LSP) data, and provide network health audits.

**Network Modeling and Simulation**: The vendor claims that Paragon Planner allows users to simulate scenarios through network models, predict outcomes based on simulated scenarios, and run service-level topology views of SLA fulfillment.

**Failure Analysis**: Paragon Planner offers extensive failure simulation capabilities, allowing for single-failure and what-if analysis. According to the vendor, it helps assess the network for potential failure scenarios.

**Cloud-Native Platform**: The vendor states that Paragon Planner provides deployment flexibility across private data centers and public or private clouds, with support for VMs and containers. It is designed with a highly available, highly redundant, scale-out architecture.

**Design**: Paragon Planner can construct network topology maps and display simulated or imported data for nodes, links, and LSPs, according to the vendor.

**Simulate**: According to the vendor, Paragon Planner allows users to create or schedule simulation events, analyze the network model based on failure scenarios, and includes scenarios such as link congestion, broken link, unresponsive node, and more.

**Analyze**: Paragon Planner produces extensive reports for simulation and planning, providing valuable insights for network optimization and decision-making, as claimed by the vendor.

Juniper Paragon Planner (formerly NorthStar Planner) is a cloud-native modeling tool that can be used for offline visualization and detailed architectural planning of a production network.
