Who is Juniper Networks Inc~ Juniper Networks, Inc. is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. The company develops and markets networking products, including routers, switches, network management software, network security products, and software-defined networking technology. Juniper's investors and officers since 1996 read like a Deep Spy State cartel Who's Who (i.e., Xerox PARC, Sun, MCI, Qwest, Nortel, Siemens, Ericsson, 3Com, AT&T) Pradeep Sindhu, a scientist with Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), conceived the idea for Juniper Networks while on vacation in 1995 and founded the company in February 1996. At the time, most routers used for Internet traffic were intended for phone calls and had dedicated circuits for each caller (circuit switching). Sindhu wanted to create data packet-based routers that were optimized for Internet traffic (packet switching), whereby the routing and transferring of data occurs "by means of addressed packets so that a channel is occupied during the transmission of the packet only, and upon completion of the transmission the channel is made available for the transfer of other traffic." He was joined by engineers Bjorn Liencres from Sun Microsystems and Dennis Ferguson from MCI Communications. It received several rounds of funding from venture capitalists and telecommunications companies before going public in 1999. Juniper grew to $673 million in annual revenues by 2000. By 2001 it had a 37% share of the core routers market, challenging Cisco's once-dominant market-share. It grew to $4 billion in revenues by 2004 and $4.63 billion in 2014. Juniper appointed Kevin Johnson as CEO in 2008, Shaygan Kheradpir in 2013 and Rami Rahim in 2014. By February 1997, Juniper had raised $8 million in venture funding. Later that year, Juniper Networks raised an additional $40 million in investments from a round that included four out of five of the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturers: Siemens, Ericsson, Nortel and 3Com. Juniper also received $2.5 million from Qwest and other investments from AT&T. By the following year, its only product, the M40 router, was being used by 50 telecommunications companies. Juniper Networks signed agreements with Alcatel and Ericsson to distribute the M40 internationally. A European headquarters was established in the United Kingdom and an Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong. A subsidiary was created in Japan and offices were established in Korea in 1999. Juniper Networks's market share for core routers grew from 6% in 1998 to 17.5% one year later, and 20% by April 2000. In late 2000, Juniper formed a joint venture with Ericsson to develop and market network switches for internet traffic on mobile devices, and with Nortel for fiber optic technology. In 2001, Juniper introduced a technical certification program and was involved in the first optical internet network in China. In July 2008, Juniper's first CEO, Scott Kriens, became chairman and former Microsoft executive Kevin Johnson was appointed CEO. Johnson focused the company more on software, creating a software solutions division headed by a former Microsoft colleague, Bob Muglia. Juniper also hired other former Microsoft executives to focus on the company's software strategy and encourage developers to create software products that run on the Junos operating system. Juniper established partnerships with IBM, Microsoft and Oracle for software compatibility efforts. The SSL/VPN Pulse product family was launched in 2010, then later spun off to a private equity firm in 2014 for $250 million. In 2015, Wired Magazine reported that the company announced it had found unauthorized code that enabled backdoors into its ScreenOS products. Juniper Networks, one of the most prominent corporate security systems in the world, announced it will remove the Dual_EC_DBRG encryption algorithm that intentionally weakens the security of their products and very likely enables a backdoor by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The code was patched with updates from the company. Additional Info~ ~Juniper acquired cloud operations management and optimization startup AppFormix in December 2016. ~In 2017, Juniper bought Cyphort, a Silicon Valley startup that makes security analytics software. ~Juniper acquired cloud storage company HTBASE in November 2018. ~In April 2019, Juniper acquired wireless LAN (WLAN) startup Mist Systems to bolster its software-defined enterprise portfolio and multicloud offerings. ~In February 2022, it was announced Juniper had acquired WiteSand, a specialist cloud-native zero trust Network Access Control (NAC) solutions company. in Sep. 2015, Juniper took a $35 million Series D financing from Vectra Networks. Vectra has close investing relationships with Accel Partners (James W. Breyer) and Intel (Andy Grove). Illustrative of the incestuous interconnections, Juniper is invested in Vectra, which is invested in Juniper, which is invested in Vectra, ad infinitum. Juniper lists Palo Alto Networks as a competitor. However, one of Palo Alto's key investors is Greylock Partners started by Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn CEO, Facebook director, Accel Partners, James W. Breyer collaborator). This connects Hoffman to Greylock to Accel to Vectra, and therefore to Juniper. This makes Juniper an ally with Palo Alto, not a competitor. These Juniper representations to the investing public are lies. The misconduct only further reinforces the central role they play in moving forward the spy state agenda. There is much more~ This highlights the points I wanted to make. Thank you MTM. theintercept.com/2015/12/23/… wired.com/2015/12/juniper-ne… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junipe…
