So I'm going to keep this blog going for the time being (minus CCIE SP content which can be found at blog2.netengineer.org).
My recent activity, passing the JNCIE-ER, has posed a question. While I blogged about this on my other blog (blog2), I just wanted to ask... Is Juniper the Apple of the Networking world?
Does anyone see Juniper seeing the growth Apple saw/sees in the PC world? I'm not saying that Cisco won't be the dominant player but what I'm wondering is if Juniper will be the Networking equivalent of Apple? Will they see fast and big growth? Will enterprises as well as service providers start to adopt Juniper... How does cost and support factor into a company's success?

If Cisco doesn't adjust their pricing for a few of their mid- and high-end devices, I can see Juniper moving in under the radar. It's already happening with the NetScreens.
Yeah, from an SP perspective, their support and willingness to aid in anyway has been exceptional.
I've been learning how to navigate JUNOS and actually use their CLI... it's pretty nice.
And even at the low end devices, for customer that don't want to manage their own CE routers, using a more cost-effective option that gives the customer the same service may be a good way to go.
Juniper is trying to enter SMB market.
