Juniper Networks is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Sunnyvale, California that develops and markets networking products. Its products include routers, switches, network management software, network security products and software-defined networking technology. The company was founded in 1996 by Pradeep Sindhu.

Juniper Networks designs develop and sell products and services for high-performance networks to enable customers to build networks for their businesses. The Company sells its products in over 100 countries in three geographic regions: Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. The Company sells its high-performance network products and service offerings across routing, switching and security. Its products address network requirements for global service providers, cloud providers, national governments, research and public sector organizations, and other enterprises. The Company offers its customers various services, including technical support, professional services, education and training programs. The Company's Junos Platform enables its customers to expand network software into the application space, and deploy software clients to control delivery. The Junos Platform includes a range of products, such as Junos Operating System (OS) and Junos Space.

More recently, they were one of the first companies to recognize and address the potential impact of cloud computing on the network. Service providers and enterprises are embracing cloud-based business models and virtualization advances that allow servers and storage to be brought online in hours instead of weeks. But it can still take months to deploy hardware centric networks.
