Microsoft now reports that it has 31,000 customers using Azure, Heroku (now owned by Salesforce) is reporting 123,342 applications running on their platform. It’s hard to tell how many applications that Amazon has running on EC2 but in last years CIO magazine it was reported that they were provisioning 50K EC2 server instances per day. That would mean something like 18M EC2 servers per year. All of this points to the need for more network bandwidth and new programing models that allow developers to get closer to the packets. This is our goal with Junos Space. Regardless of whether you program in Java, .NET, Ruby, C/C++, etc – we provide a means for you to build new and compelling network aware applications using Junos Space.
