Network systems integrator, Axians has announced that it has been recognised as the preferred supplier for Juniper Network Technology on the Jisc Network Equipment Framework, for the fourth time in a row. Jisc is the UK’s higher education, further education and skills sectors’ not-for-profit organisation for digital services and solutions, which provides the Janet Network in the UK.

As well as being the preferred supplier for Juniper Network Technology, Axians is also the sole supplier of Mist, A10, ADVA and Smart Optics on the framework, making Axians the obvious choice for those considering Datacentre Interconnects, DWDM and open optical systems.

Axians UK has been working with universities for over 12-years, specialising in assisting organisations in generating high-performance network connectivity and security seamlessly, in order to deliver a better experience for both students and researchers. Axians prides itself in providing a high standard of service and the ability to offer the latest technology.

Our long-term partnership with Jisc has been hugely rewarding and it has been a great achievement to be recognised as the preferred supplier for Juniper Network Technology consistently since 2008. We look forward to continuing to supply Jisc and its customers with network equipment and assisting them in achieving their goals.
