Juniper Networks, Inc. is an information technology and computer networking productsmultinational company,
founded in 1996. Juniper has its headquarters situated in Sunnyvale,California.[1] The company designs and
sells Internet Protocol network products and services. Juniper was founded by Pradeep Sindhu,[2][3] Dennis
Ferguson, and Bjorn Liencres[4][5] in February 1996. The company was subsequently reincorporated
in Delaware on March 15, 1998[6] and went public on June 25, 1999.[7]
Juniper did not acquire a company for the first three years of its existence. In November 1999, Juniper
acquired Layer Five, an intellectual property design firm.[8] The company'sUS$4 billion acquisition of NetScreen
Technologies is its largest purchase.[9] NetScreen had acquired Neoteris before this acquisition. Unisphere,
before the Juniper acquisition, initially comprised three other key networking equipment manufacturers:
Redstone Communications, Argon Networks, Castle Networks.[10] Siemens had bought Castle Networks for
$300 million in 1999 and then combined it with two other acquisitions to form the Unisphere Networks. Before
Unisphere's sale to Juniper, Siemens bought back the Castle portion of Unisphere to form its
own subsidiary.[11] Most of the companies acquired by Juniper are based in the United States. Juniper made
the majority of its acquisitions in 2005. It did not make any more acquisitions after 2006. Most of the acquired
companies are related to computer networking and associated products. Apart from the complete acquisition of
the other companies, Juniper also bought the intellectual property of Nexsi Systems in May 2002.[12] USbased Proxy Networks, Inc., based in Boston, Massachusetts, a unit of de Anda Capital LLC, acquired
the Proxy remote control software product line of Juniper Networks in 2006.[13] Proxy Networks has assumed

responsibility for the continued development, marketing, sales and support of the Proxy product family, which
Juniper acquired as part of its purchase of Funk Software.[14]
Since November 1999, Juniper has acquired over 12 companies.[12] Each acquisition is for the respective
company in its entirety, unless otherwise specified. The acquisition date listed is the official announcement date
of the agreement between Juniper Networks and the subject of the acquisition. The value of each acquisition is
listed in US dollars because Juniper Networks is headquartered in the United States. If the value of an
acquisition is not listed, then it is undisclosed. Juniper has officially released the financial details for most of its
acquisitions.
