Supporting Quotes: "We evaluated various vendors before we decided on the Juniper Contrail-led solution, and we believe Juniper currently has one of the strongest SDN value propositions on the market. A key factor in our decision, besides the superior technical capabilities, was Juniper providing Contrail as Open Source -- we are convinced that this will drive large-scale market adoption for Juniper's SDN solutions in the future. Juniper's innovative solutions will help us grow into new market segments with a significant cost advantage and provide our customers with solutions that will help to reduce their time-to-market and enable them to significantly capitalize on investments for new products and services." - Kevin Fibich, chief executive officer at CloudSeeds "With CloudSeeds starting to produce real virtualized network services for its customers in Germany, this will further help to drive quick market adoption for our SDN solutions and support innovation in the service provider and enterprise markets.
