Re: JUNOS vs JUNOSe

0

Hi Peter,

JUNOS is the OS originally created by Juniper when the company first went into business, and runs on all its J- M- and T-series routers. It also runs on the new MX and EX switches.

JUNOSe is the operating system that runs on the Juniper E-series. These boxes were originally Unisphere, and the OS was acquired by Juniper along with the company back in 2002. There has ben talk ever since of adapting the E-series boxes to JUNOS (or vice versa), but I think the reality is that there are so many JUNOSe users (the CLI for that OS looks alot like Cisco IOS) that Juniper would face a rebellion in a large part of its customer base if it changed the OS significantly.

As a result Juniper has a bit of internal schizophrenia as it copes with separate JUNOS and JUNOSe developers, not to mention some significant duplication of development efforts.
