Juniper Networks has announced that Hitachi Systems & Services is now a Junos SDK application development partner. As a partner, Hitachi Systems has access to Juniper’s Junos SDK to develop specialized applications on the Junos operating system that enable the network to be customized dynamically to meet the unique business needs of each customer.
“By integrating our software solution into the highly innovative Juniper Networks SRX Series using the Junos SDK, we can now offer the highest quality of security services in a more flexible manner,” said Masamitsu Nomura, General Manager of Network Products Department, Platform Solution Division, Hitachi Systems. “Juniper’s Junos SDK accelerates the speed of innovation for the deployment of rich services and integration of applications, which enables us to respond to customer-specific demand in a more timely and effective manner.”
The Hitachi-designed application will run on Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways for secure, reliable branch office connectivity. With the Junos SDK, Hitachi Systems can gain competitive advantage by rapidly delivering new and valuable solutions that leverage the network as an application delivery platform. Junos-based solutions running directly on Juniper’s SRX Series Services Gateways enable a level of performance, reliability and scale that cannot be matched by decoupled applications running on separate network appliances.
