Contents

By 2001, Juniper had made only a few acquisitions of smaller companies, due to the leadership's preference for organic growth. [2] The pace of acquisition picked up in 2001 and 2002 with the purchases of Pacific Broadband and Unisphere Networks. [3] In 2004 Juniper made a $4 billion acquisition of network security company NetScreen Technologies. [4] Juniper revised NetScreen's channel program that year and used its reseller network to bring other products to market. [5]

Juniper made five acquisitions in 2005, mostly of startups with deal values ranging from $8.7 to $337 million. It acquired application-acceleration vendor Redline Networks, VOIP company Kagoor Networks, as well as wide area network (WAN) company Peribit Networks. [6] Peribit and Redline were incorporated into a new application products group and their technology was integrated into Juniper's infranet framework. [7] [8]

From 2010 to September 2011, Juniper made six acquisitions and invested in eight companies. Often Juniper acquired early-stage startups, developing their technology, than selling it to pre-existing Juniper clients. [9] Juniper acquired two digital video companies, Ankeena Networks and Blackwave Inc., as well as wireless LAN software company Trapeze Networks. [9] [10] In 2012, Juniper acquired Mykonos Software, which develops security software intended to deceive hackers already within the network perimeter. [11] and a developer of software-defined network controllers, Contrail Systems. [12] In 2014 Juniper acquired the software-defined networking (SDN) company WANDL. [13]
