Juniper CEO: The new networking – experience, speed and scale
Season 2
•
Juniper Networks CEO Rami Rahim catches up with Light Reading just a couple of months following Juniper's acquisition of WiteSand, a pioneer of cloud-native, zero-trust network access control solutions. In the podcast, we discuss what that string of buzzwords means and why the acquisition fits in nicely with Mist Systems, which brought a wireless LAN to Juniper, along with the ability to use AI to make network operations easier.
Here are a few things covered in this podcast episode:
- Juniper's acquisition strategy and how it's paying off (01:44)
- What Juniper looks for in an acquisition target (07:17)
- Juniper's focus on enterprise customers (11:29)
- Why Juniper loves the O-RAN opportunity (15:46)
- Can Juniper make the right bets while so much is changing in the network? (20:26)
- Moving service providers to "experience first" networking (23:46)
- Data is precious but coffee is better (26:05)
