“Channel Partners applauds Juniper Networks for signing on as a founding member of the Cloud Convergence Council,” said Channel Partners Editor Khali Henderson. “We expect the work of this unparalleled cross-industry body will inform the dramatic transformation ahead for both the IT and telecom channels in the cloud by identifying and bridging gaps in understanding.”

Juniper Networks offers a dramatically simplified "3-2-1" network architecture for a cloud-ready data center that lowers operational, capital and environmental costs, during reducing complexity and improving cloud computing efficiencies. Should the contingency arise, Juniper has developed cloud-enabled dynamic, virtualized data center security services that not only meet today’s security and performance requirements, now also address future on-demand growth. Juniper as well provides best practice guides for clients to minimize risk and speed time to implementation when configuring security solutions for the cloud-ready data center.

“Today's channel partners must look at the network as a strategic differentiator that allows their clients to drive new business and unleash technology,” said Lori Cornmesser, vice president, service provider alliance sales, Juniper Networks. “The value proposition behind Juniper's new network approach is changing the economics of the network, creating greater possibility for channel partners to add more value by reducing network cost and complexity for businesses. Juniper is proud to bring its expertise and leadership to the table and actively participate in the Channel Partners Cloud Convergence Council.”
