High Performance Networking

With server virtualization, unified communications, and software being delivered as a service, the network has become absolutely critical to realizing value in new IT investments. The only problem is that legacy network infrastructure wasn’t built for the performance, security, and reliability requirements of today’s applications. This keynote will discuss Juniper’s approach to high-performance networking, based on best-in-class technology, innovative architectures, and open standards.
