Juniper Supplies Platform for Application Development on Carrier-Class Network Operating System
By Anshu Shrivastava, TMCnet Contributing Editor
Juniper Networks (News - Alert) has announced the Partner Solution Development Platform (PSDP) that enables customers and partners to develop specialized applications on JUNOS software.
Through the partner development platform for a carrier-class network operating system, Juniper officials stated, customers and partners can accelerate innovation for the deployment of new revenue-generating services that are unique to their business, while improving network operations productivity.
The PSDP offers a set of advanced resources, including a software development kit (SDK) with intelligent and secure interfaces to JUNOS routing and service functions. Officials pointed out that the tools will provide customers and partners with choice and control in designing, developing and deploying specialized applications such as event-optimized routing, customized bandwidth management, advanced security services and extended operations toolsets.
Juniper Networks provides access to the Partner Solution Development Platform technology, as well as technical and business support, through its Open IP Solution Development Program for customers and partners. The PSDP will be available through an annual licensing program. The inaugural program members include Aricent and Avaya (News - Alert), among others.
Indicating that IBM sees the nature of innovation changing at a pace unheard of in modern history—increasingly open, collaborative, multi-disciplinary and global, John L. Ryan, business development executive of strategic alliances at IBM (News - Alert), said in a statement, “By opening up the network to richer services offerings and deeper application integration, Juniper is on the forefront of a new movement to build ecosystems of innovators that cross a wide range of applications and industries.”
Tom Nolle, president and CEO at CIMI Corp, noted that the number one goal of network operators today is leveraging the value of their networks to increase revenue and profits to differentiate their services on something more than price.
He also expected that Juniper's opening of JUNOS to partner development offers operators a way to build valuable features into their networks, features that can both differentiate existing services and create new and valuable offerings.
“The decision to open a router OS is a bold move that can be made only by a vendor with a long history of stability, security, and straightforward standardized releases. Juniper fits that model,” said Nolle.
