Juniper Networks Named a Leader in Hardware Platforms for Software-Defined Networking Report
March 07 2018 - 04:15PM
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced it has been
positioned as a Leader in "The Forrester Wave™: Hardware Platforms
For Software-Defined Networking, Q1 2018," a new report published
by Forrester Research, Inc.
As enterprises migrate to the cloud, it will be important that
they build open and flexible platforms that promote programmability
and automation to simplify network and application operations.
Juniper Networks’ software-defined networking (SDN) technology is
simplifying the way network operators migrate to the cloud and
multicloud by providing an approach that is inherently open, agile
and easily automated. This enables enterprises to build on open and
programmable data center networks.
According to the report, “Juniper Networks is a company with a
strong presence in the telecommunications industry and a product
portfolio, based on a single OS, JunosOS, that extends from the
data center to the campus edge. This FreeBSD-based operating system
is disaggregated and runs on a virtualized Linux environment.
Within the data center, customers would use Juniper’s QFX series
switches. The company has its own management solution for
traditional switch management, and customers can choose Juniper’s
Contrail or OpenContrail controllers for a central point of
automation.
Customers that want to automate the entire network with a
consistent OS, from the data center to the business edge, should
look to Juniper Networks.”
Juniper Networks was among nine players evaluated in Forrester’s
40-criteria evaluation of data center hardware platforms for
software-defined networking. Juniper was cited as a Leader with the
highest scores in the operating system and programmability
categories.
