Juniper Networks' Expanded Portfolio Makes Enterprises Multicloud-ReadySUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today introduced an expanded portfolio of offerings that will bring businesses closer to a secure and automated multicloud environment. Adding to its robust portfolio of data center, campus, branch and cloud networking solutions, Juniper Networks is providing the infrastructure solutions organizations need to become multicloud-ready. Companies are moving more workloads from on-premises to the cloud to keep up with the need for agility and more flexibility. A recent study conducted by PwC and commissioned by Juniper Networks found that a majority of enterprise workloads currently on-premises are expected to migrate to the public cloud in the next one to three years. As a result, enterprises will need to adopt even greater multicloud strategies as workloads become more distributed across IT environments. “The promise of multicloud is to deliver an infrastructure that is secure, ubiquitous, reliable and fungible and where the migration of workloads will be a simple and intuitive process,” said Bikash Koley, chief technology officer at Juniper Networks. “For IT to be successful in becoming multicloud-ready, it is critical organizations consider not only the data center and public cloud, but also the on-ramps of their campus and branch networks. Otherwise, enterprises will face fractured security and operations as network boundaries prevent seamless, end-to-end visibility and control.” To eliminate roadblocks that could prevent enterprises from realizing the multicloud promise, end-to-end security and automation must be integrated throughout all places in the network. Enterprises are currently at different stages in their path toward a secure and automated multicloud architecture. Juniper’s extended offerings across its data center, campus, branch and cloud portfolio are designed to enable enterprises to migrate to a multicloud architecture on their terms, using natural refresh and expansion activities to meet today’s needs, while also ensuring they are multicloud-ready.

All new offerings announced today are powered by the Juniper Networks Junos® operating system, providing users the telemetry, secure programming interfaces and operational tools required to automate across multiple places in the network. Supporting Quotes “For multicloud to yield meaningful improvements in enterprise IT, the boundaries that have historically existed between the various places in the network have to come crumbling down. That requires end-to-end security and automated operations across the data center, campus, branch and public cloud. We are bringing the full force of our engineering teams in a bid to simplify networking so that enterprises can migrate from legacy to multicloud-ready and eventually to full multicloud architectures.” “As our global financial clients move more of their workloads to the cloud, they rely on us to provide industry-leading managed services and agile technology hosting. Our IT infrastructure plays a critical role in our ability to meet our clients’ needs during this digital transformation. We are excited to be working with Juniper Networks to implement our high-performance, low-latency global WAN project, which leverages Juniper’s QFX switches to provide optimized services to our clients and prepare our infrastructure for a multicloud future.” “At Cadenza, we work with networks ranging from startups through the Fortune 50. Managing complexity is the #1 challenge all our clients face. We believe Juniper Sky Enterprise is the only cloud networking platform that achieves simplicity without sacrificing functionality. Juniper Sky Enterprise allows our new clients to begin managing their network in minutes while simultaneously extending the reach of our senior engineers to automate complex changes around the globe.” “As enterprises increasingly embrace multicloud environments, they are recognizing the growing importance of intelligent automation and operational simplicity as indispensable contributors to network agility. Furthermore, IDC finds that enterprises also increasingly appreciate the direct correlation between network agility and business agility. With this extension to its product portfolio, Juniper continues its focus on multicloud networking that can provide the operational simplicity that will be essential for the network to become an enabler of business outcomes within the larger context of digital transformation.” “For many years, IT’s top priority has been total cost of ownership but that focus has shifted with the rapid migration of business applications to the cloud. As revealed in PwC's survey, security and automation are now C-level and Board of Director discussions on the path to the cloud. We advise our clients to use natural upgrade and expansion events to ensure they are multicloud-ready. We believe solution providers that lay the groundwork to remove complexity and build the multicloud infrastructures needed for organizations will win in the next phase of IT infrastructure.” Additional Resources
