NXTWORK 2015 highlights: Evolve or die, network innovation in the enterprise | #NXTWORK
by Marlene Den Bleyker | Nov 3, 2015
The Juniper Networks, Inc. NXTWORK 2015 event unveiled some surprising announcements from the company. From the news that the company is disaggregating its Junos software to the hardware to the managed services products, like Juniper’s Cloud CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) solution, the company has now differentiated itself in the enterprise arena.
Concluding the day’s coverage of Juniper’s first customer summit held in Santa Clara, CA, John Furrier and Stu Miniman, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, reviewed these announcements and provided commentary on the direction of Juniper Networks.
Different messages
Furrier suggested that the event was a blending of the convergence of cloud-meets-infrastructure, and highlighted the separation of hardware and software, pointing out that this is counter to the message delivered at Oracle OpenWorld 2015 last week.
He commented on the disaggregating of Junos as being “strategic for telcos and for innovative companies who have full control of the network to create an innovative strategy in the enterprise.”
Customer-centric ecosystem
Miniman said that he loved the customer focus and access to the executives of the company. He said that he heard from customers that Juniper provides them flexibility, automation and software that is the best in the industry. He also felt the customers want networking to become a software ecosystem.
The DevOps angle
Furrier asserted that there is an ongoing theme in DevOps is engineering, so he asked the question, “Do people want to engineer their own stuff? Do they have the expertise?”
According to Miniman, “Juniper has good heritage and works with developer frameworks. They have APIs, and they fit into these environments.” He is also hearing that there are things they want to engineer and others that they want to manage.
Company size matters
Miniman advised that certain companies do not want to build their own data center and they should get out of that business. There are mid-market and small businesses that are just not ready to do the heavy lifting, and in these cases, they may need to go to hosted services to take care of managing security and data services.
Closing out the discussion, the team agreed that Juniper Networks still has impressive partnerships and the company sill fits into many environments.
