Cisco faces potential competition from Juniper and Avaya

While the networking giant Cisco continues to expand into various fields like the VoIP and the likes, it might just feel the heat with two competing forces Juniper and Avaya joining hands with the aim of giving Cisco hard time in the market. Juniper and Avaya would be joining hands by signing on a joint development pact.

This was announced yesterday though the companies have yet not signed on the agreement. If it goes through, both the companies would sell each other’s products in the market giving them more weapons to fight against the networking giant Cisco. These two companies were already collaborating on product integration work on specific contracts.

Both these companies have their specific fields of expertise where Cisco has a formidable presence. While Avaya is a leading player in the call centre and IP telephony market, Juniper competes with Cisco in the high-end router and firewall markets. After the collaboration, both these companies would be more equipped to face the competition and provide better technology solutions to their customers.

These two companies are also planning to integrate Avaya’s communication applications and endpoint devices with Juniper’s routing and security kit. A senior representative of the Juniper said in a statement: “The Avaya partnership also supports our enterprise Infranet model that combines network, application, and endpoint intelligence to control network traffic for secure and assured delivery of applications.”
