Beyond the OS
Since we wrote the first edition of this book, Juniper has expanded its Junos software portfolio beyond the operating system, adding new capabilities to link into the application space as well as client software for mobile and personal computing devices. Together, the Junos operating system, the Junos Space network application platform, and the Junos Pulse client form the Junos Platform. By integrating these software layers of the network into one platform, Juniper is expanding the ways that applications can interact with the network from the cloud out to the end user.
As part of the Junos Platform, Juniper provides a set of programming interfaces and software development kits (SDKs) that developers can use to specify the application interactions. Unlike other platforms that merely enable third parties to interface through APIs, these SDKs give application developers a broad set of development interfaces and tools to build a wide variety of applications richly integrated to the Junos Platform.
