Juniper Networks is a technology company that belongs to the network
industry and communications equipment. Recently, the company released
its results for the second quarter of 2014. Spite of the good results,
the company's shares a declining trend amid weak third quarter guidance.
This development offers a decent entry point for investors to
capitalize on undervalued stocks. The detailed analysis follows:
Business
Juniper offers network
infrastructure products, which primarily includes routers and switches.
It is also involved in the provision of network security products and
services. More importantly, the company is offering products and
services related to software defined networking (SDN). Its Contrail
platform provides all the necessary components for network function
virtualization (NFV). NFV and SDN are gaining popularity lately; it is a
threat to specialized networking equipment manufacturers. Offering SDN
and NFV solution is, I believe, Juniper's way of hedging against the
risk posed by network virtualization technology.
Anyhow, the company generates most of its revenue from router-sales as they made-up around 50% of the total revenue in the year ended 2013. From a different classification perspective; product revenue, or PSD, was around 75% and service revenue, or SSD, was around 25% during the year ended 2013.Juniper Networks and Aruba Networks have signed a strategic agreement to deliver open, converged wired and wireless network solutions based on enhanced technologies.
The partnership includes both joint development efforts and go-to-market collaboration, with the goal of providing solutions for the toughest problems facing enterprises.As part of this effort, Juniper is enabling technology partners, like Aruba, to take advantage of Juniper's programmable silicon by making available key software elements and new programmable application programming interfaces (APIs) to enable the High-IQ enterprise - an open, smart approach to enterprise networking that allows customers to fundamentally transform the user and operator experience. This will help foster industry collaboration to accelerate innovation for customers and partners.
According to Canalys, a global technology research firm, the mobile device market is expected to reach 2.6 billion units by 2016. Efficiently and intelligently managing this influx of devices and traffic has become increasingly difficult and complex for IT departments. Additionally, the rapid adoption of business applications-such as voice-over-Wi-Fi clients - means more comprehensive orchestration is needed, requiring granular policy and performance management to ensure that key applications are secured and optimized.
Together, Juniper and Aruba are addressing these mobility market trends with product-level integration that leverages open protocols and open APIs on Juniper switches and routers, and contextual data on users, devices, applications and location available from Aruba's enterprise Wireless LAN (WLAN) products. With this integration, enterprises will be able to optimize application performance, enable mobility-centric security and policy, and reduce total cost of ownership by eliminating vendor lock-in.
