Solution Prized For Best IPTV Test and Quality of Service/Experience by Expert Judging Panel

SUNNYVALE, Calif. & MENLO PARK, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR), the leader in high-performance networking, and Intelliden, Inc., a leading provider of Intelligent Networking solutions, today announced that their joint Dynamic Network Automation (DNA) solution has won the IPTV World Series Award for "Best IPTV Test and Quality of Service/Experience Solution." The award ceremony took place at the IPTV World Forum 2008 in London, March 13, 2008.

The joint DNA solution was selected because it helps communications service providers deliver broadband services such as IPTV with enhanced quality of experience (QoE), greater service reliability and higher scalability while containing operational costs. The breakthrough DNA solution provides the critical link between network policy and OSS systems to enable dynamic allocation of network resources, and also extends intelligence to the network core.

Developed under Juniper's Open IP Service Creation Program (OSCP), the joint solution combines Juniper Networks' Session and Resource Control (SRC) portfolio and Intelliden's Dynamic Resource Provisioning. It is built using open application programming interfaces (APIs) and is consistent with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. The joint solution complements Juniper's Liquid LSP (label switched path) solution, which can dynamically select the best possible path through the network for advanced video services, helping to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

"Service providers are consistently seeking ways to maintain a competitive edge by devising new sources of profitable revenue streams whilst maintaining a tight focus on operational cost control. To achieve this, they need innovative, intelligent service applications that add further value to the network," said Paul Gainham, director, EMEA Service Provider Marketing, Juniper Networks. "This award validates Juniper and Intelliden's open approach to IPTV and multi-play service delivery. The Dynamic Network Automation Solution enables service providers to more efficiently and cost-effectively support video and other multi-play services."

"The advent of IPTV and other high bandwidth services is changing the dynamics of service delivery over the Internet," said Rahul Sachdev, vice president of marketing at Intelliden. "However, the Internet needs to evolve from a best-effort to a guaranteed delivery model so that content providers continue to create innovative premium content, carriers can effectively monetize their network investments and ultimately consumers can enjoy the necessary quality of experience. Intelliden is honored to receive this award with our partner Juniper and remains committed to delivering best-of-class solutions to help our customers to better control, manage and scale their next generation networks."
