Hitachi Systems Accelerates Innovation With Juniper Networks Junos SDK

Juniper Networks has announced that Hitachi Systems & Services, a provider of systems integration services in Japan and a member of the Hitachi Group, is now a Junos SDK application development partner. As a partner, Hitachi Systems has access to Juniper’s Junos SDK to develop specialised applications on the Junos operating system that enable the network to be customised dynamically to meet the unique business needs of each customer.

The Hitachi-designed application will run on Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways for secure, reliable branch office connectivity. With the Junos SDK, Hitachi Systems can gain competitive advantage by rapidly delivering new solutions that leverage the network as an application delivery platform. Junos-based solutions running directly on Juniper’s SRX Series Services Gateways enable a higher level of performance, reliability and scale as compared to decoupled applications running on separate network appliances.

“By integrating our software solution into the Juniper Networks SRX Series using the Junos SDK, we can now offer the highest quality of security services in a more flexible manner,” said Masamitsu Nomura, General Manager of Network Products Department, Platform Solution Division, Hitachi Systems. “Juniper’s Junos SDK accelerates the speed of innovation for the deployment of rich services and integration of applications, which enables us to respond to customer-specific demand in an effective manner.”
