Juniper Networks officials plan to continue flattening the data center networking infrastructure as they move toward a single-tiered offering starting sometime in 2011.
During a news conference and Webcast May 17, Juniper executives outlined the company’s 3-2-1 strategy, saying they are anticipating the collapse of the networking infrastructure to a single layer in 2011 through the company’s Project Stratus effort, introducing such features as greater automation and virtualization capabilities.
However, for now, Juniper is unveiling a host of new products and services designed to help businesses reduce the number of networking layers in their data centers from three to two.
