Partner: Juniper Has ‘Transformed’
Rich Butcher, managing director of Juniper Partner of the Year, Nomios, attended the event. He believes Juniper’s acquisition of AI firm Mist Systems has “transformed” Juniper into “a completely different company.”
“The fact that the enterprise is now bigger than service provider with Juniper is unbelievable. Without Mist, they had no chance of getting that,” he said.
“They’ve gone from being a switch manufacturer, which to be honest, there are lots of switch manufacturers out there. And it’s hard to differentiate with switches. But when you start putting AI-driven enterprise behind it, [but then] you start reducing the ticketing, and you have amazing Wi-Fi that’s really easy to implement, and to maintain.
“They’ve got Wi-Fi and switching all under one banner with Mist now. That’s why it’s transformed, why it’s got a real market edge at the moment.”
