Both Juniper and Cisco have announced that networking path is heading towards software. What does this mean for the career hardware folks down the line? Will we all end up white boxes for everything?
With the recent happenings , we might not have more
They'll just switch you to some scripting or sysadmin.
as cloud computing becomes bigger. less small shops buying data center equipment. but there will always be a networking gear market...just it'll probably be through software defined networks. aka market size is going to be the same. but big players will shrink or evolve.
Fear not, juniper folks. Goog and Facebook and Amazon may run white boxes in their datacenter, but everyone is Juniper at the core and edge. Just wander around any decent POP. It's all Juniper.
Thanks for the insight!
