BARCELONA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2010) - Building on its commitment to fuel innovation
from the core to the client, Juniper Networks® (NYSE: JNPR) today
announced several new and expanded partnerships that will yield software
and solutions for mobile operators to improve the experience and economics
of their networks.
Several of the applications are among the first to receive a new
designation from Juniper -- Junos® Ready Software -- which includes a
growing portfolio of third-party and Juniper-developed applications based
on the Junos operating system, Junos Space or Junos Pulse. Specifically for
mobile operators, Juniper and its partners are developing new applications
for mobile video delivery, addressable advertising, service monitoring,
service delivery and security. The new Junos Ready Software is certified
and optimized to run on Junos, a cross-network software platform that
enables rich user experiences, revolutionary economics and fast time to
market.
Juniper partners that are building Junos Ready Software for mobile
operators include:
- IBM - As part of its participation in the IBM Service Provider
Delivery Environment framework partner initiative, Juniper and IBM
developed an integrated service delivery platform and networking solution
based on applications built with Junos Space. The joint solution will
include hardware and software for the telecommunications industry that will
enable real-time feedback between applications, users, and the network,
bridging the application and network domains for fixed and mobile
operators.
- Ankeena Networks - As part of the Juniper Media Flow solution
announced today, Juniper will utilize Ankeena's Media Flow Director
software. Media Flow Director is a comprehensive and sophisticated new
media delivery software that enables a TV-like online viewing experience at
massive scale, while reducing overall infrastructure costs by efficiently
caching and delivering content closer to the end user.
- Webroot - As part of the Juniper Mobile Secure solution
announced today, Juniper will offer customers optional protection against
malware from Internet security leader Webroot. Juniper will seamlessly
integrate Webroot's detection engine into Junos Pulse to enable customers
to restrict access to corporate data and applications when security threats
are detected, and to automatically eradicate threats so that mobile
employees can stay connected and productive.
- Feeva Technology - Announced last month, Feeva, the innovator in
Addressable Digital Advertising solutions for online content and
advertising, is using the Junos SDK to integrate its MediaEnabler™
solution with Junos software for use with Juniper's router portfolio. This
approach will provide high performance and scale for both broadband and
mobile service providers alike, enabling them to leverage their existing
assets to deliver a range of audience intelligence and Real-Time Market
Segmentation services that create value for the online advertising
ecosystem.
- Triveni Digital - Announced last spring for Junos, Triveni
StreamScope® provides comprehensive monitoring of IP encapsulated video
streams including MPEG and MDI analysis for both mobile and fixed
networks. Triveni Digital used Junos SDK to integrate StreamScope with
Junos software, yielding StreamScope eRM, an integrated video monitoring
and analysis application specifically to run on Junos and Juniper's MX 3D
Series routers.
- Telchemy - Announced last summer for Junos, Telchemy ePM will
provide comprehensive multi-layer performance measurement and analysis of
IP voice and data services for both mobile and fixed networks. Telchemy is
a leading provider of IP and VoIP and video performance monitoring
technology that is using the Junos SDK to integrate their DVQattest
technology with Junos software for use with Juniper router portfolio,
including Juniper's MX 3D Series.
- Aviat Networks - Formerly known as Harris Stratex Networks,
Aviat Networks is the leader in advanced wireless IP network migration,
preparing the way to the 4G/LTE future. Announced last fall, Aviat
developed a wireless services gateway platform, extending its customers'
mobile systems to 4G and beyond using Junos SDK. Aviat is using Junos SDK
to integrate its wireless service gateway functionality directly on top of
Junos software, providing a field-proven routing technology for its new IP
core that seamlessly provides reliable, high-speed multimedia services to
mobile consumers.
In addition to the Junos Ready Software above, several partners are
delivering other software and solutions to extend the value of Juniper's
systems for mobile operators:
- Nokia Siemens Networks - Juniper today announced that Nokia
Siemens Networks has certified four new security solutions that integrate
Juniper products for mobile and fixed networks. These include the Mobile
Packet Core Security Solution, which protects the mobile packet core from
unauthorized access, manipulation attacks and theft from untrusted networks
in a cost-efficient way. This solution provides service providers with the
ability to integrate value-added services, such as Internet access, video
delivery, and push-to-talk without compromising security.
- DragonWave - Juniper and DragonWave have validated DragonWave's
next generation Ethernet microwave system (Horizontal Compact) for
interoperability with Juniper's BX Multi-Access Gateway. This extends
Juniper's BX footprint to address packet microwave in the backhaul.
"The expansion of Juniper's mobile ecosystem enables service providers to
unlock the full value of their network infrastructure investments," said
Manoj Leelanivas, executive VP and general manager of Junos Ready Software,
Juniper Networks. "We're freeing mobile operators and third-party providers
to blend legacy networks with Web 2.0 innovations, so that they can unleash
next-generation broadband services for their subscribers and create new
revenue streams."
The Junos cross-network software platform enables customers and developers
to quickly and efficiently create new services that improve the experience
and economics of networks. This includes opportunities to develop on Junos,
Junos Space and Junos Pulse. By abstracting application development from
the underlying platform, Juniper has created an environment for
collaboration and innovation where developers can focus on creating
applications that meet their company's or customers' needs, rather than
having to build their own platform capabilities or worry about the
stability, reliability or scalability of the network itself.
Like all applications built on Junos platforms using these development
tools, Junos Ready Software undergoes a rigorous and structured
development, testing and quality control process before being released. The
result is unparalleled and relevant service offerings that are stable,
reliable and scalable. Developers that are interested in integrating their
applications with the proven Junos platform are invited to contact Juniper
at sdk-pm@juniper.net.
