Juniper Networks and TIM Sign Agreement to Drive Telco Cloud Evolution
February 01 2018 - 5:00AM
Juniper Networks, an industry leader in automated, scalable and
secure networks, and TIM have initiated a joint agreement to
collaborate on the research and development of an innovative
cloud-oriented network infrastructure. The parties plan to explore
the viability of a next-generation platform based on automation,
virtualization and open interfaces in support of a wide range of
high-performance, secure digital services. In particular, TIM is
focused on the evolution of its FutureNET and ultrabroadband
customer network platforms to ensure they are fit for purpose as
IoT and 5G requirements become more relevant over the next five
years.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two
organizations will facilitate thorough experimentation and testing
of new networking techniques in a drive to enhance performance,
reliability and security. The MoU is also intended to foster
greater levels of partnership with a comprehensive ecosystem of
technology providers and industry forums, enabling rich
functionality, ongoing innovation and best practice.
“TIM’s goal is to accelerate its evolution towards the network
of the future. Our vision is towards a more automated,
interconnected and agile network that reacts more easily to
customer demands. Through the development of Software-Defined
Networking and open optical systems, TIM will be able to develop a
host of software components that can be activated where and when
needed, based on customer needs. We have chosen to work with
Juniper Networks via the research and innovation embodied in this
MoU because the company shares our vision of transformation through
network openness, virtualization and simplification to drive a
superior digital customer experience.”Enrico Bagnasco, Head of
Innovation at TIM
“Juniper believes that simplicity in both network design and
operation has to become a core value for the networking industry
and we welcome the opportunity to work with a forward-thinking
operator such as TIM to help deliver effective solutions for the
challenges presented by trends such as IoT, security, 5G and big
data. We are committed to sharing expertise, projects, laboratories
and resources to design, experiment and implement the technologies
to foster the digital transformation that will enable the
next-generation service offerings to TIM’s customers across
Italy.”Tom Ruban, Chief Technical Officer EMEA at Juniper
