Supporting quotes "At Juniper Networks, we are maniacally focused on
simplicity and on meeting the evolving needs of our service provider
customers in their transition into telco cloud, SD-WAN, 5G, IoT and
AR/VR services. Our emphasis on automating, securing
and simplifying the growingly complex network infrastructure to support
those services means that our customers don't have to worry about every
complex detail within the network; they can focus instead on innovating
new services and creating more value for
their consumer and business subscribers. We're thrilled to see the
industry validate this approach within IHS's report and look forward to
continuing to co-innovate."
"The service provider landscape is rapidly evolving
in the face of next-generation services and it's clear that what
matters now more than ever is a strong networking partner that can
supply top notch product reliability, price-to-performance
ratio, service and support, technology innovation, and security.
Edge/core routers and CES will be an approximately $15.2B annual market
in 2017, so it is important to understand how service providers select
manufacturers, whose equipment they have installed
and will evaluate for future purchases, and which manufacturers they
consider to be leaders in each of the selection criteria." – Michael Howard, Executive Director, Research and Analysis, Carrier Networks, IHS Markit Source: Juniper Networks media announcement | |
