Junos: An Outsider’s Viewpoint
My name is Brian Lemm, and I started working for SynerComm four weeks ago. Until then I knew that Juniper had a network line, but I came from eleven years at a large fortune 500 company that is a Cisco-exclusive shop. This is not going to be a Cisco versus Juniper entry – I just wanted to give a little info on my background (just saying I’ve been around the block a few times).
Switches switch and routers route. If a networking manufacturer didn’t do those two things well they wouldn’t still be in business… Even equipment that is off the retail shelf will do that. So personal preference plays a big role in deciding which vendor to chose. When I started at SynerComm, I hadn’t touched a Juniper device, so when I was given the opportunity to tag along to some installs I jumped at the opportunity. New technology? Sign me up!
