Juniper Launches Open Software Platform To Accelerate Innovation Across The Network: Page 2 of 5

"Software is critical to driving innovation on our network," said Tim Harden, AT&T president of Supply Chain and Fleet Operations. "By using AT&T-developed applications based on Junos SDK, we're able to create new services for our customers, further differentiating AT&T in a highly competitive market."

"The significance of Junos SDK to us in our innovation plans was clear immediately," said Sandro Dionisi, director of Telecom Italia Labs. "With the Junos SDK, we can provide value to our subscribers in ways not previously possible by delivering custom security and value-added services that execute directly on Juniper's routers. This allows us to provide better performance and functionality than other options and at lower cost, as we can utilize equipment already in our network."

Junos Space: Open Network Application Platform

Junos Space is an open development and deployment platform for network applications, which enable customers and third-party developers to simplify network operations, automate support and accelerate service delivery. Junos Space initially ships as a platform with three applications: Ethernet Activator, which enables customers to quickly create and activate services, including activation of VPN services up to 10 times faster than competitive productsi; Route Analyzer, which provides DVR-like recording and playback capability to plan, simulate and troubleshoot MPLS networks; and Service Now, which speeds resolution of service issues by having Juniper systems "call" Juniper support experts with troubleshooting data and details, saving valuable time for both customers and service technicians.

"Junos Space can do something every vendor wants and very few ever achieve - define a new product category and the requirements for the market space that category represents," said Tom Nolle, founder and president of CIMI Corporation. "Junos Space offers a complete cloud-based framework for service-layer development, everywhere from the enterprise to the largest service provider. It meets all the service-layer requirements that CIMI customer research has identified, and also the key requirements to support third-party development and extension."
