	Juniper switching boss talks technology challenges, Cisco Nexus 6000 Jonathan Davidson took over Juniper campus and data center switching when the two previously separate business units were combined following the departure of founding engineer R.K. Anand. Davidson has a service provider routing background at Juniper and Cisco, which is no coincidence -- after five years in switching, Juniper has been unable to mirror the success it had in its first five years in service provider routing. But it did start from zero and surpassed at least six other incumbent vendors to attain the No. 3 position in the market. The company has more than 20,000 switching customers cultivated through organic development, Davidson notes.

Read More Intel's push into SDN works in theory, but not in reality All eyes were on Silicon Valley and the Open Networking Summit this week. One of the big topics of conversation was Intel's push into an already highly competitive software defined networking (SDN) space. In theory, this move by Intel makes sense. SDNs transform the data center and create an opportunity for low-cost switch manufacturers to become a more important part of the data center. However,...
