At the core of Juniper Networks technology since the company’s inception has been the Junos operating system. Throughout Juniper’s history, Junos has been closely coupled with Juniper’s hardware. That’s now going to change with a new effort to disaggregate software from hardware, something that the industry as a whole typically refers to as Software Defined Networking (SDN)…
Disaggregated Junos software is part of Juniper’s effort to extract that software value in a more meaningful way, while providing more choice to customers. With the disaggregated model, instead of simply just putting Junos on top of hardware, now there will be a thin Linux kernel with containers into which Junos, services and other third party tools and apps can be deployed.
