![]() ![]() We hear a lot about the importance of telemetry in developing analytics, AI and other technologies, why is that so important? As we pull more and more telemetry from our routers and switches, automation and AI will drive a lot more functionality into our software. Our focus on AI has been a real shot in the arm for the company and our customers. In the data center, operations will be driven by automation to eliminate errors, and find and correct particular problems. In many ways we have already achieved these capabilities with Mist and our Wi-Fi technology that has a self-correcting mechanism. ![]() Day 2 operations will be seamless, and self-correcting work will be all done in software automatically. You’ll see more self-healing, self-configuring and provisioning. I believe the network in the future will become invisible to the operator. What do you think the emphasis on software development will mean for customers? Now see “How to manage your power bill while adopting AI” It’s been 10 years since Marc Andreessen said software is eating the world well now it’s eating the networking world. Software is driving the key control points in the enterprise, and we can see the self-healing, self-configuring networking coming together. In addition we have added a lot of new capabilities through acquisitions such as Mist, 128, and Apstra to increase our support for everything from automation, SD-WAN and classic IP networking. We have spent 80-85% or research and development in software, and the last 24 months we have been trying to monetize our software program through a variety of new products and services. I would say for the last 2 years or so we have been driving enterprise transformation with software. How has Juniper transitioned from a hardware- to a software-first company? Here is an edited version of that conversation. Network World talked with Manoj Leelanivas, Juniper’s executive vice president and chief product officer about the company’s software directions and how it is preparing for challenges of the future. ![]() At the same time it continues to develop its own Junos software and invest in key open-source projects such Software for Open Networking in the Cloud ( SONiC) among other undertakings. Moving into the software realm is no small task as Juniper has to integrate products from a number of acquisitions including Mist, 128 Technologies, Apstra, and NetRounds. Like most of its competitors, Juniper Networks is leaning hard on developing all manner of software components-from automation to intent-based networking-in order to address the changing needs of enterprise-network customers. ![]()
