Scaling, shifting and sublimating SDN services | #NXTWORK
by Gabriel Pesek | Nov 3, 2015
At the Juniper Networks, Inc.’s NXTWORK 2015 event in Santa Clara, CA, things were off to a strong start, with providers and consumers on both sides of Juniper’s business coming together to get news of the latest hardware and infrastructure developments from the company.
Jennifer Lin, senior director of product management for Juniper Networks, met with John Furrier and Stu Miniman, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to discuss a wide range of topics, including Neutron Application Program Interfaces (APIs), the maturation of OpenStack, cloud Customer-Premise Equipment (CPE), security and Platforms as a Service, and Juniper’s Contrail (an open Software-Defined-Network service), among others.
Interoperability is key
“The convergence of network servers and storage are changing the conversation,” Lin said. She acknowledged that by all signs so far, “There’s going to be public cloud; it’s not going away.” Finding ways to address this shifting landscape of storage and servers, Lin identified her team’s job as working “to interconnect and federate domains.”
“Now that we’ve been through a number of bake-offs and trials … a lot of the discussion is now, ‘How do we get through the deployments as easy as possible” and “How do we [stay] flexible?’”
Lin explained.
Touching on the idea of “orchestration” as a way of ensuring cross-platform and service compatibility, as well as the move toward transferring value into the software layer, Lin was confident in addressing the challenges in all their complexity.
Containers and movement
“A lot of our customers are focused on moving more quickly … without having to worry about all the infrastructure changes that need to happen,” she noted,
“With what we’re doing, we’re kind of building a horizontal platform” as a way of meeting these diverse needs in a timely fashion, she added.
