Enterprise Switches from Jupiter

Juniper Networks has made the release of a series of enterprise Ethernet switches that the company hopes will shake up the commoditized switching market and position the company Juniper Networks next to Cisco Systems.

The addition of enterprise switches to Juniper's roster will enable solution providers to offer a more complete Juniper story, as opposed to offering point solutions like routing, security and application acceleration. The EX switching line is a carrier-class enterprise offering based on Juniper's JUNOS operating system and fills a gaping hole in the networking vendor's product line.
