  • 2012 Annual Report
    2012 Annual Report Notice of 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement Report on Form 10-K Dear Juniper Stockholder, From a financial perspective, Juniper began to return to improving performance in the second half of 2012. While we were not satisfied with our results, we believe we can and will perform better. There were a number of challenges in 2012, including continued macro-economic uncertainty, a decline in the total addressable market for routing and tightening customer demand in major geographies and sectors including Europe and the US Federal Government. While navigating these challenges, we took decisive actions to address performance factors in our control, including restructuring the organization and driving initiatives that have raised our level of execution. These initiatives have contributed to three key areas that together put us in a stronger position for renewed growth and market share gains. Juniper strengthened our product portfolio in 2012. We sharpened our focus as a pure play in high performance networking in three product families: Routing, Switching and Security. We added new product offerings in each of these families in 2012 and we enhanced many of the core products in those families with new capabilities. Early this year we articulated a clear strategy for Juniper in the area of Software Defined Networks. Due to this hard work, we now have the broadest, deepest and highest-performance product lineup in our history, with an ambitious innovation roadmap that is addressing the transformative roles that mobility and cloud computing are playing in the new network. In routing, we remain a strong leader in the edge with our MX line which enables Service Providers to deliver and expand services and maximize revenues faster than other market solutions.
