The challenges raised by the massive increase in networked devices and their escalating bandwidth demands will not be solved by simply adding more hardware—more routers, more switches, more security devices—to the network. This “dumb pipe” solution has worked for 40 years, but it cannot keep pace with the economics of network growth. Instead, the next chapter will be all about the brains of the network—smarter, modular, cross-network software, running across a radically simplified network architecture.

And this is the power of Junos®.

Junos is the reliable, high-performance network operating system at the heart of Juniper routers, switches and security devices. It’s a game-changer, because it brings stability to an environment that has been rife with complexity, reliability and security issues.

Junos is also the perfect platform for third-party innovation and development. To help foster that creativity we’ve released the Junos SDK and introduced Junos Space, a customizable network application platform, and Junos Pulse, an integrated network client. The addition of these two new extensions to Junos enables an end-to-end software environment that extends the intelligence of Junos across the network and to endpoint devices—allowing for innovation anywhere the network lives.

The result is an environment that is application-aware, user-aware, automated, customizable and developable.

The new network is here. And it’s running Junos.
