Juniper Networks announced that the company has finalized its acquisition of Apstra, a player in intent-based networking and automated closed-loop assurance. The closing of the deal marks a meaningful step toward delivering an unmatched, experience-led portfolio for the data center across all customer segments - enterprise, service provider and cloud provider.
Apstra brings network automation based on an open, multivendor architecture to Juniper’s Data Center networking portfolio. The combined company delivers a proven open, programmable and highly scalable solution for next-generation data centers and cloud networks, providing customers the clearest and quickest path to automate the data center and introduce AI-driven operations.
The Apstra team is now part of Juniper’s Data Center business and Apstra CEO and co-founder, David Cheriton, joins Juniper as Chief Data Center Scientist.
“The Apstra acquisition is a significant milestone for our business that reinforces our commitment to transforming data center operations. Apstra’s focus on intent-based networking, closed-loop automation, and fabric assurance is a perfect complement to Juniper’s award-winning hardware and software. Together, we can drive lasting customer value from design to deployment (Day 0 and 1) through everyday operations and assurance (Day 2 and beyond),” said Mike Bushong, Vice President of Data Center Product Management, Juniper Networks.
The close of the Apstra acquisition follows the close of Juniper’s additional acquisitions of Netrounds and 128 Technology in H2 2020.
