Juniper Networks and IBM announced that they would continue to expand their relationship through joint technology solutions.
It is as if IBM has put itself to the task of mentoring the younger and more inexperienced Juniper Networks. IBM has the unique credential of being an IT company that can anchor its roots back in the 19th century. The company has gone through a great depression (perhaps more than one) and two world wars. Juniper was formed in 1996 and still has much to learn about the information technology space. As a mentor, perhaps IBM can not only advise the younger company but also build its stock through tried-and-true IT standards.
On the flip side of the coin, Juniper can provide a youthful and cutting-edge standard to IBM’s hardware. Juniper will also add more flexibility to IBM customers through additional measures of IT service and security.
From Yahoo Finance News: “IBM and Juniper share a common vision to continually evolve information infrastructures as a strategic element of business success, and together, we are committed to delivering superior networking solutions to customers,” said Hitesh Sheth, executive vice president and general manager, Ethernet Platforms Business Group, Juniper Networks. “We’ve been very pleased with our progress to-date with IBM in our seven collaborative solutions and shared sales goals, especially in the data center. As we look to the next phase of our relationship, we remain focused on delivering optimal joint infrastructure solutions for our customers.”
Juniper and IBM have collaborated extensively to provide customers ethernet switches and routers, as well as more recently highlighting enterprise technologies that allow companies to extend ‘private data-center clouds.’ IBM primarily acts as a systems integrator for various Juniper switching, routing and security products.
“Juniper is an important supplier of networking products,” said Jim Comfort, IBM vice president, enterprise initiatives. “IBM is already a reseller of Juniper’s Ethernet switches and routers, and we continue to look for opportunities to expand this relationship to provide increasing choice for our customers and the flexibility to support their dynamic infrastructure needs.”
Although Juniper and IBM have been partners since 2007, they more recently have begun collaborating on several high-tech projects that could only come out of the collective resources of the two companies. One such endeavor is called the ‘Stratus Project’, which has the goal of building a cutting-edge data center with superior performance and the flexibility to support virtual environment.
The two companies also have a priority to work on security measures for cloud computing environments. As more data moves ‘into the cloud’, the possibility of attacks on corporate and personal information becomes a very likely situation. Ideally, the brainpower of the two corporations will be able to shield users and companies from this sort of cloud security breach.
At the base level however, Juniper and IBM is a great partnership because it has created a well-crafted line of standard network hardware products. Whether it be new, pre owned or used juniper routers or switches IBM’s input into the equation adds a level of integrity, confidence, and quality that would otherwise be unattainable.

Help answer the question about youth mentoring
Would you mentor an inner city youth from the "wrong side of the tracks"?About Author
Times are hard for the American currently. My goal is to start a conversation about how we can use eachother’s knowledge to better our lives and country. Now is the time for us to stand together, and the internet is the perfect vehicle for us to traverse this difficult path and emerge to a bright new era.

take it easy XBOX360Nigga, I’m sure they took it out first
Haha, pretty funny. But Ozzy made it a whole lot better. Good taste in music.
I lost my job 6 months ago, but I've finally found something I can do at home to make some exta money to help make ends meet. By no means am I rich, but every penny helps. Try it yourself. http://www.goodinternetdeals.com/Work-At-Home.html
I've volunteered with several youth programs, and I've had some pretty positive experiences with all of them. I currently work with several programs. I am an active "Big" in the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization:

I'm on my second match, and it's been a lot of fun. Even though at times you may not realize the impact that you are making, it's all of the little moments that make it worthwhile.
I also volunteer through my volunteer center to tutor children at the library and work at the local children's shelter. I've found the most variety through the volunteer center:

It all depends on the type of time commitment, and what you are looking for in a program. If you are looking for a one-on-one match, then I would suggest that Big Brothers is a very good program. If you are looking for general mentoring opportunities, I think your volunteer center may be able to help you find stuff that will have a shorter time frame to get started. In both cases with Big Brothers, it did take quite a bit of time before I was matched, and a longer time in order to build a relationship with my match.
Good luck!
Get involved with area schools, churches, youth groups, sports leagues and scout groups. Write to their community service coordinators (or whoever would best fit this description) and ask to be put on a list of organizations looking for help.
In particular, find out who in your community encourages or requires community service. Ask kids to run small grade-level or school/church/team wide drive for the items you're looking for. Do it in advance so you can bank the bulk of the items for the coming year and fill in as necessary. 5 kids with 20 friends each bringing 1 school item equals 10 filled backpacks. Get a whole school involved and you may be able to cover your program for the year and attract new donations.
Also consider getting volunteers involved in more direct ways. People who are invested in a program are more likely to support it financially.
I run a small non-profit and I've been spreading the word about our program to supply gently used sports uniforms and footwear to kids in rural Mexico. I was just contacted by a family whose 4th grader is interested in running a drive at his school as part of a run for class office. Apparently it's a tradition at his school to prove one's leadership through such a project. I know he won't be able to supply a very large part of what we need, but every little bit helps and the publicity we'll get out of it will be very valuable. We'll run a thank-you in the newspaper, put his face on our website and benefit from the word-of-mouth publicity at his school.
You won't get rich but there are lots of jobs available.
It's stressful though — there is high turnover because of the hours vs. the amount of pay.
You can be a mentor without it being your job — lots of kids need mentors.
(At first I thought you were talking about being a youth pastor)
This video was funnier than hell lol wow wouldn’t that be awesome.
i would say to talk with a salvation army family shelter director.
“what are you doing”….”ughhh i’ll tell u when u get older”…LOL
Big Brothers/Big Sisters is a great mentoring program.
That girl at 1:44 is a bitch
I would start by going to a city hall meeting for the city that you're interested in and see how they operate. After the meeting, talk to the Chair of the commission and see if he or she may be interested in such a program. Then ask them how you can put discussion of this on the next meeting's agenda. You will likely have to give a short presentation of the program and answer questions by council members and other citizens that come to the meetings. It will help if you can get the support of teachers in local schools and make sure that they show up at the meeting to support you.
Hope that helps!
good stuff ahah
asshole, sorry your other videos are good but this , this video sucks.
You are going to need help to do it. TV stations won't run commercials that don't meet their standards. Hunt down local TV production students or even public-access TV afficionados.
I make my own infomercials for the internet… but making commericals for TV is a different game altogether.,
you can make them an exact clone of you!
Watch the new episode of Clone Wars, on Cartoon Channel!
