Most telecom companies understand the benefits of next-gen IP infrastructure, but the question remains, “How do enterprises migrate from the legacy – which often comprises an intricate web of equipment, vendors, operating systems and devices – to newer systems?” The migration is business critical and Juniper is leading the way with new IP infrastructure with new efficiencies such as turning off unused components and saving major bandwidth, power and maintenance costs. Software-defined networking can be exciting and has compelling financial ramifications, but without first considering the move to next-gen infrastructure, it’s irrelevant. The world of software, programmability and next generation networking are coming together to create a very bright future. Our greatest responsibility, however, is to ensure we address the right problems, at the right time and with the right tools.
