No longer is it verboten to mention Juniper and HP in the same breath as Cisco when talking about quality networking equipment. Hopefully, Cisco can get back on track and refocus on it's core networking products.
Interesting that they are letting go 6500. "6500" is their workhorse networking device but has been in market for about a decade now and needs a serious overhaul to be competitive again compared to Juniper's MX and the Brocade XMR devices.
- tom_b 15y agoI have a neighbor who manages Juniper support engineers. These engineers are typically working onsite at Juniper customers. He has been almost constantly recruiting new support engineers (who seem to either have CCIE certs or a similar experience level) for probably 18 months. Since this recruiting is primarily for new customers, I would guess that Juniper is doing quite well competing against Cisco.
