TCO improves with JUNOS, says Forrester study

BANGALORE, INDIA: Juniper Networks, Inc., a provider in networking solutions, announced on Wednesday the results of a new study about the total cost of ownership (TCO).

According to the study conducted by Forrester Consulting, Inc, companies that have deployed Juniper's JUNOS Software, had an improved TCO, said a press release.

JUNOS is a network operating system that integrates routing, switching, security and network services.

The study, conducted by Forrester Consulting, Inc., demonstrates that through the use of JUNOS Software and Juniper switches and routers, the companies achieved an overall reduction in operational costs for specific network operations tasks, including planning and provision, deployment, planned and unplanned network events, it said.

The study reports a 41per cent reduction in overall network operations costs based on dollar savings across specific task categories like planned events, reduction in frequency and duration of unplanned network events, the sum of planned and unplanned events, the time needed to resolve unplanned network events and the “adding infrastructure” task, the release added.

“This study demonstrates our fundamental value proposition with JUNOS Software: It offers the power of one operating system to reduce complexity, achieve operational excellence and deliver dynamic services with lower TCO,” said Mark Bauhaus, EVP and GM, Service Layer Technologies Group, Juniper Networks.

He added that the scope of TCO improvements highlighted in the study - from savings across multiple network operating system task categories to the time needed to resolve unplanned network events - clearly demonstrates how JUNOS pays dividends in lower cost and simplicity across network infrastructures.

For this study, Forrester employed four fundamental elements of TEI in modeling JUNOS Software: costs and cost reduction; benefits to the entire organization; flexibility and risk, the release added.
