Juniper To Integrate IBM Tivoli Netcool Software Into Junos Space

Juniper Networks and IBM have announced an OEM agreement that enables Juniper to licence and integrate IBM software into its open application networking platform for partners and clients.

With this news, Juniper plans to integrate IBM Tivoli Netcool service management software into its Junos Space application platform that will allow customers to more easily develop applications that leverage the network.

Expected to be available in third-quarter 2010, Juniper’s new Junos Space Fault Suite will provide enterprises and communication service providers with a turnkey fault and network management solution that is scalable and upgradeable. IBM’s Tivoli Netcool software allows customers to gain real-time, centralised monitoring and network discovery capabilities. The software helps service providers operate more effectively by gaining greater network intelligence and business insight into their networking infrastructures.

Al Zollar, Vice President and General Manager, IBM Tivoli, said, “With this new OEM agreement, the combined strengths of Juniper’s open network application platform and IBM’s Tivoli technology will allow customers to enable new services and revenue streams while improving the operational management of their networking infrastructures.”
