A Lot Can Happen In A Decade
This month, Juniper Networks Inc., celebrated the 10th anniversary of JUNOS software, which made its first debut on July 1, 1998. Since then, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Juniper has delivered a decade of on-time consecutive quarterly JUNOS releases.
Over the past decade, Juniper claims to have consistently designed, developed and delivered new JUNOS software releases on a time-tested quarterly release cycle to target the changing networking needs of more than 30,000 service provider, enterprise and public sector customers around the world. Currently, JUNOS software runs across a broad portfolio of Juniper platforms and integrates a set of features for routing, switching security and a host of advanced network services.
"JUNOS software is the culmination of the understanding that a single network operating system must continually evolve to keep pace with the escalating requirements for scale, performance, reliability and security," Juniper founder and CTO Pradeep Sindhu said in a statement.
And as JUNOS continues to grow, demand for certifications around the software is exploding. Last year, Juniper created the JUNOS FastTrack Program, which to date has enrolled 30,000 partners and customers from 156 countries looking to become JUNOS-certified.
JUNOS software introduces what CEO Scott Kriens calls "the power of one;" one operating system creating a network platform. Here we look at a few key milestones in the first 10 years of JUNOS.
