For this vignette of a recent episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Part of the 5G Factor series, analysts Ron Westfall and Shelly Kramer assess how Juniper’s Cloud Metro portfolio helps usher in the Cloud Metro era, replacing the Retro Metro.
Their discussion stressed:
- The limitations of Retro Metro technology and solutions across key categories such as operations automation, systems innovation, and architecture evolution.
- Why Cloud Metro is critical to ushering in experience-first networking, including focus on cloud-delivered automation, energy efficient power adaptive designs, elastic scaling, built-in zero trust security, and active assurance.
- How the Juniper Cloud Metro portfolio is purpose-developed to deliver sustainable business growth, especially across top priority areas such as optimizing workforce skills, achieving consistent profitability, and meeting decarbonization goals.
Ron and Shelly underline that the Juniper Cloud Metro portfolio and approach are ready to play an integral role in advancing customer sustainability initiatives, especially as operators, as well as the entire mobile ecosystem, are strategically committed to meeting their top priority sustainability goals, including net zero emissions.
