Juniper Networks’ Kim Perdikou, EVP and GM of the Infrastructure Products Group, and David Yen, EVP and GM of the Fabric and Switching Technologies Business Group discuss converging needs, tech trends and the company’s Stratus project, a single-layer network architecture. Computer World starts the interview by asking, ‘What kind of overlap do you see with carrier and enterprise networks today?’
“Perdikou: There’s a lot of discussion around cloud computing, with service providers preparing to be cloud ready and enterprises [trying to figure out] what they can leverage from a service point of view. In addition, because of the cost and the complexity of running enterprise wide-area networks, many companies are starting to outsource that to service providers. But for service providers, the network costs are rising faster than the revenue they make on them.”
