Juniper Networks has been named a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant 2019 for Data Center Networking, just like last year. Juniper Networks has also been recognized as an April 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Data Center Networking. Based on feedback from 250 customers, Juniper has a 4.7 out of 5 average rating for that market, as of 17 July 2019.
Gartner positions market players for Data Center Networking in their Magic Quadrant to help quickly ascertain how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and how well they are performing against Gartner’s market view.
'This recognition is merely a reflection of things that we have known at Juniper for years', writes Juniper Network Chief Product Officer Manoj Leelanivas. 'Our commitment to improving networking for enterprises has resulted in more and more customers each year.'
