deployments
• http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-
services/network-management/
• The OpenNMS Group has entered into a “Powered
by OpenNMS” licensing agreement with Juniper
Networks (NYSE: JNPR) to add fault and
performance management capabilities to the Junos
Space software platform.
• Usama Anqud, Senior Director of Engineering at
Juniper Networks, states “After evaluating several
products, we found that OpenNMS was best-in-
class, complementing Junos Space by providing a
highly scalable, full featured and customizable fault
and performance management capabilities.”
