There’s a juicy piece in SDN Central this week on the engineering implosion at Juniper Networks. As the story goes, switching and software architects are leaving Juniper after having the Contrail SDN controller rammed down their throats and being belittled by CTO and Founder Pradeep Sindhu, who must be feeling a bit of pressure and embarrassment after the QFabric flop and Juniper’s initial foot dragging with SDN.
Indeed, the SDN Central story reads like the tale of a scientist deaf to customer demand as he foists his experiments onto a reluctant society… Ken Olsen and PCs and Unix, revisited.
