In July, Juniper announced a brand new JUNOS Fast Track Certification Program, featuring a limited-time offer of 100% discounts on all JUNOS Enterprise Certifications. To say the program was a smash success would be a gross understatement. Read more...

100%. That's the new answer to the question: "How much of the exam costs does a JUNOS voucher now cover?"

According to a recent study commissioned by Juniper, deploying JUNOS® Software can save time and operational costs in running the network.

As a Juniper SE I like to discuss the benefits of JUNOS to our partners and customers, explaining how JUNOS is essentially the Crown Jewels of Juniper Networks. Lately I’ve taken to not just running through the slideware, but logging into the Juniper Networks software download page and showing them how simple it really is..... Read more...

Juniper Networks started shipping the EX8216 on May 1, 2009, one quarter after the launch of the EX8208. Releasing two such large-scale projects back-to-back would not have been possible without the extraordinary dedication of our engineering team, and I’d like to take a moment to recognize their accomplishments. Doubling the EX8208’s density was not a trivial exercise; everything from the ASICs to power and cooling needed to be planned in advance, while systems and software had to be designed, built and tested in parallel. One advantage of this approach was that any issue found on one platform could be fixed on the other at the same time, and the EX8208 backplane and EX8216 midplane could provide identical interfaces to the EX8200 line cards.

Always looking for any new ideas to eek out more efficiency in my busy life, I recently stumbled upon a methodology to manage commitments, information, and communication known as Getting Things Done, GTD for short. Read more...

When it comes to upgrading software, some say that whole upgrades are best while others claim an advantage for piecemeal updates. Long ago when Juniper demonstrated a prototype of modular upgrades, customers didn't see it as the final solution; they needed a complete system upgrade to minimize operational risk. Read more...

When I first started my career in networking - before Juniper had released its first router - I admired the certified experts in the field. It seemed that having an expert-level certification would virtually guarantee that those experts would never be lacking a job. A few years later, after much hard work, I was certified under the CCIE program. Read more...
