History of Juniper
Industry LeadershipFrom the start, Juniper saw the opportunity to helpcustomers build and accelerate business value from theirIT infrastructures. Since then we have helped ourcustomers stay ahead of the demands posed by theexponential growth in network users and end-points, whilemeeting the business imperatives for high performance,reliability and absolute security.
Juniper remains uniquely positioned to maintain industryleadership based on our core competencies in architecture,silicon design, and the industry’s only carrier-class,purpose-built "pure IP" modular network operating system- Junos®. Juniper offers a broad product portfolio,spanning routing, switching, security, applicationacceleration, identity policy and control, and managementdesigned to give customers unmatched performance,greater choice and flexibility while reducing overall totalcost of ownership.
Today, Juniper Networks [NYSE: JNPR] is headquarteredin Sunnyvale, California, with 7,000 dedicated employeesand offices in nearly 50 countries. Our customers includethe top 100 global service providers, 30,000 enterprises,including 99 of the Global Fortune 100, as well ashundreds of federal, state and local governmentagencies and higher education organizations.
Background After 11 years working at the Computer Science Lab ofXerox PARC, Pradeep Sindhu took a leave of absence toconsider his next steps. Noting the explosive growth ofthe Internet and the importance of connectingcomputers, Sindhu was struck by the enormous potentialof the router - the fundamental building block of thenetwork.
After some discouraging responses from venturecapitalists, Sindhu managed to secure financing for hisfledgling company, and Juniper Networks wasincorporated February 6, 1996, in California.
Instead of starting small like many startups, Juniperdecided upon what would become its signature approach - tackle the toughest problem and solve it once.
The company's first product, the revolutionary M40 routerwhich shipped in September of 1998, did just that. TheM40 far surpassed all other routers on the market andestablished Juniper's position as an innovative andserious player in the hardware market.
Developing the M40 was a major undertaking thatrequired two years of research and work. During that time,to keep venture capitalists and customers happy, Juniperdeveloped what would later become its majordifferentiator and the basis for all future innovation -JUNOS Software.

The next decade for Juniper Networks
The past 10 years have been a period of enormousgrowth in terms of network-enabled devices.However, as the technology we use to connect tothe network has advanced, the demands haveincreased exponentially. The explosion of mobiledevices, high bandwidth downloads and globaldemand for an always-on connection havepushed the old network to its limit.
The truth is, without radical innovation and newthinking, the network itself is likely to break-either through the impossible economics ofmaintaining the infrastructure, or by the inabilityof complex, proprietary solutions to meet thedemand. It's time for a new approach, and it startswith a new philosophy.
The next decade: a newindustry approach toinnovation.Overcoming the challenges of the new networkwon't come from the proprietary, siloed approachof the last 10 years. In fact, the old way of doingthings prevents innovation - the investment andbrainpower is siloed within proprietary initiativesinstead of being pooled and harnessed as acollective effort. In other words, innovation suffersand the customer pays for it.
Fixing this broken model will only happen throughan ecosystem of development in which advancescome from collaboration and partnership. To dothat, you need a common platform. And that'swhere Junos comes in.

Cloud-Enabled Security
In an open environment like Cloud, security is critical. After all,this is about inviting users INTO the cloud, not keeping themout. It’s about data flowing freely—and safely.
We have flows between servers, we have flows between datacenters and we have flows between the client and the datacenter. Those are the critical flows that must be secured.
To help our customers understand the best practices to securethese flows, to understand how to best leverage our technology,and to accelerate their path to success, Juniper has fivesecurity solution modules.
In the past, when people secured the flows, we found thatappliances were being applied organically. As new applicationscame up, as new flows occurred, a new firewall would beinstalled in an organic basis.
There is a much better way to do that using the SRXtechnology. We can apply the lessons of the cloud to securethe cloud. We can take these disparate appliances and we can pool them into a single virtualized pool of security servicesthat can be shared across any flow of the data center.
Coordinated threat control is also a very critical capability.We can take knowledge of the identity and location of the userand of the application itself and apply more precise andgranular policies to the environment. More secure with lessobtrusion and a better experience.
Finally, we can use Junos SPACE as the single point toprovision all policies across the network and report threats for compliance.
