BARCELONA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2010) - Juniper Networks® (
NYSE:
JNPR) today announced
it has become a validated IBM Service Provider Delivery Environment (SPDE)
partner. The latest joint effort is an interoperable service delivery
platform and networking solution that is based on Juniper's Junos® Space,
an open application network platform for ecosystem partners, and IBM's SPDE
framework. It will be featured at IBM's Telecom Solutions Lab in Austin,
Texas and shown in IBM's booth, Hall 1, C31 at the GSMA Mobile World
Congress on February 15-19 in Barcelona.
Network operators can use IBM's SPDE framework underpinned by Juniper
Networks infrastructure solutions to gain access to a full suite of IBM
software assets. The SPDE framework integrated with Junos Space also allows
IBM and Juniper partners, including content/application providers, to have
network-wide visibility and control and to gain powerful access to dynamic
network intelligence -- enabling new services, new experiences and new
business models.
"Juniper is transforming the network economics and experience through
solutions with partners like IBM to help customers monetize the new
network," said Andy Vandeveld, vice president of strategic alliances,
Juniper Networks. "By continuing to build joint solutions that combine
Juniper's history of carrier-grade networking innovations with IBM's
expertise in SOA and the value delivered by the SPDE framework, we can
further enhance our service delivery platform capabilities. Together, we
are providing a clear migration path for service providers to lower-cost IP
networks, while maintaining service quality, brand image and
profitability."
"Adding Juniper's networking solutions to IBM's SPDE framework allows
communications service providers to leverage their existing investments and
rapidly develop and deploy new revenue generating services," said Scott
Stainken, general manager for IBM's Telecommunications Industry. "Together
IBM and Juniper are creating unique solutions for the telecom industry such
as dynamic video on demand and cloud computing infrastructures."
The Juniper Session Resource Control element of Junos Space provides a
feedback loop between applications, users and the network to connect the
services layer with the network layer. Junos Space is an open development
and deployment platform for network applications, which enable customers
and third-party developers to simplify network operations, automate support
and accelerate service delivery. This combination enables dynamic,
intelligent network activation in the Juniper platform -- bridging the
IT/application and network domains for fixed and mobile operators.
"The joint innovation of IBM SPDE and Junos Space allows our shared service
provider customers to create and deliver personalized services for their
subscribers at low incremental cost," said Mike Harding, vice president and
general manager of Junos Space, Juniper Networks. "This enables them to
align traffic and revenue growth and fully participate in the explosive
smartphone, social networking and Web 2.0 market opportunities."
