SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:JNPR), the leader in high-performance networking,
today announced that its EX Series Ethernet Switches posted four consecutive
quarters of revenue growth through 2Q09 and have surpassed the important
milestone of one million ports shipped, according to the most recent Dell`Oro
Ethernet Switching Market Report. 

Juniper`s EX Series switch product revenue for 2Q09 grew 44 percent over the
previous quarter, and 312 percent over the same quarter last year. The product
line`s ongoing success is derived from substantial traction in several industry
segments, such as government, higher-education, manufacturing and financial
services, including the ultra-low latency core network for NYSE Euronext`s
consolidated global data centers. 

"Based on the companies covered in the Dell`Oro report, over the past five
quarters of revenue shipments, Juniper has grown its EX Series switch revenue
faster than any enterprise Layer 2/Layer 3 switch vendor entering the market in
the previous decade," said Mike Banic, vice president of product marketing,
Ethernet Platforms Group at Juniper Networks. "Our strategy to deliver a
high-performance network, at a lower total cost of ownership is resonating
across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, and is enabling us to gain market share." 

Juniper`s EX Series represents a new class of switches for the enterprise,
designed specifically to meet the demands of today`s high-performance
businesses. The EX Series, which includes the EX2500, EX3200, EX4200 and EX8200
lines, as well as the upcoming EX2200, advance the economics of networking by
enabling a high-performance network infrastructure based on three key tenets -
operational simplicity, carrier-class reliability and integrated security.
