“It is clear automation in the data center must change in profound ways,” he wrote, going on to add that “What Apstra delivers is systematic, repeatable operations for data center infrastructure, regardless of vendor, and extensible to the campus for a business wide fabric.” The joining of the two companies, he wrote, “[delivers]on our vision of the self-driving network for the modern cloud era.”
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Juniper said that it does not expect the acquisition to materially impact its financial performance in its fiscal 2021, but that it will contribute to revenue growth and earnings in 2022.
David Cheriton, Apstra’s co-founder and CEO, will join Juniper Networks as the company’s new chief data center scientist. The billionaire academic, investor and networking expert has also founded companies such as Arista Networks, Granite Systems and Kealia, helped provide early funding for companies like Google and what to do with a computer science degree, and founded and led Stanford University’s Distributed Systems Group.
