SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - February 9, 2010) - Juniper Networks® (NYSE: JNPR) today
announced that Hitachi Systems & Services, Ltd, one of the largest
providers of systems integration services in Japan and a member of the
Hitachi Group, is now a Junos® SDK application development partner. As a
partner, Hitachi Systems has access to Juniper's Junos SDK to develop
specialized applications on the Junos operating system that enable the
network to be customized dynamically to meet the unique business needs of
each customer.
The Hitachi-designed application will run on Juniper Networks SRX Series
Services Gateways for secure, reliable branch office connectivity. With the
Junos SDK, Hitachi Systems can gain competitive advantage by rapidly
delivering new and valuable solutions that leverage the network as an
application delivery platform. Junos-based solutions running directly on
Juniper's SRX Series Services Gateways enable a level of performance,
reliability and scale that cannot be matched by decoupled applications
running on separate network appliances.
"By integrating our software solution into the highly innovative Juniper
Networks SRX Series using the Junos SDK, we can now offer the highest
quality of security services in a more flexible manner," said Masamitsu
Nomura, general manager of Network Products Department, Platform Solution
Division, Hitachi Systems. "Juniper's Junos SDK accelerates the speed of
innovation for the deployment of rich services and integration of
applications, which enables us to respond to customer-specific demand in a
more timely and effective manner."
"The Junos SDK partner program offers a powerful set of resources,
including the Junos SDK with intelligent and secure interfaces that allow
applications to utilize Junos to create a more compelling integrated
solution," said Craig Bardenheuer, vice president, IPG Partner Integration
at Juniper Networks. "With the Junos SDK, partners like Hitachi Systems can
now develop and deploy the precise capabilities they need to drive the
success of their business models."
