Juniper Networks intros developer apps, tools

BANGALORE, INDIA: Juniper Networks today announced the availability of the Junos Space Software Development Kit (SDK) and new application development partners for the Junos and Junos Space SDKs.

The Junos Platform enables partners to develop, deploy and bring to market innovative, network applications specifically tailored to satisfy business needs.

The Junos Space SDK provides a RESTful, web services-based Application Programming Interface (API) and set of tools to create, test, simulate and deploy network applications said a press release.

"Developers are only limited by their imagination and are free to innovate using the embedded network intelligence to enhance customer value through differentiated applications,” said Mike Harding, vice president and general manager, Junos Space Software at Juniper Networks.

"With Junos SDK and the Junos Space SDK, we are making development of network-enabled applications accessible to more developers and supporting the growth of an ecosystem to deliver valuable application experiences that enhance the network investments made by Juniper customers,” added Harding.

"Junos Space is the most advanced, service-layer technology tool set yet available, and this SDK provides developers, service providers, and partners with access to the critical features of the network, and this in turn creates a value-driven linkage between connection, transport, features, and management,” said Tom Nolle, president and founder, CIMI Corporation.

“Every network owner, whether enterprise or service provider, needs to link the network directly with its business case, to optimize ROI and contain operations costs.  Juniper's leadership in service automation and intelligence, and its momentum in providing tools and capabilities to enhance the marriage of the network and service layers, is impressive," added Nolle.
