Networks announced
plans to expand the India Excellence Center (IEC), its research and
development center in Bengaluru. With 1,800 Juniper staff and 300
development partners working at its existing campus, the company
plans to add another 750 seats and 450 equipment racks at a new site
in Bengaluru over the next two years. This initiative is designed to
provide Juniper Networks with the capacity to continue growing the
IEC's pool of engineering talent and better service its customers.
The new office will be located at Bengaluru's new Prestige Exora
Business Park and is being developed in two phases. “This expansion
reflects
our ongoing commitment to increasing the depth of experience and
expertise in the India region, which is becoming increasingly
important not just as a source of engineering talent, but also as a
fast-growing market for Juniper Networks,” said Sridhar Sarathy,
MD-IEC, Juniper Networks. He further added, “One member of our
team is among 45 Juniper Networks Distinguished Engineers, which is
indicative of the fact that the IEC is capable of conceptualizing new
system architectures and leading global product development
initiatives.”
Juniper's IEC is
responsible for a full spectrum of activities including hardware and
software development, test engineering, field trials, program
management, quality assurance, technical documentation and product
line management. The IEC made predominant contributions to the
development of one of Juniper's latest market-leading innovations,
the T4000 Core Router. It also provides 12-hour-a-day global customer
support covering all Juniper products and operates a finance shared
services center, which delivers functions to Juniper finance
organizations across the world. Juniper continues to
expand its business in India, as the push towards high-performance
networking is driving demand for more robust security and networking
equipment in enterprises and leading service providers.
