Interesting tech story
Reuters reports: “Juniper Aims to Reinvent Internet as an ‘Infranet’.”
“Juniper Networks Inc. on Wednesday unveiled a sweeping blueprint for a future communications grid that would be as global as the Internet but with the security of private networks run by many companies to protect trade secrets and secure transactions.”
“Calling its vision of that next-generation system an ‘infranet,’ Juniper called on other network equipment vendors and telecommunications companies to work together on joint standards that would allow development work to begin.”
I’ve wondered about the wisdom of carrying on confidential business across a public internet open to all. But I’m not sure this is a viable alternative. Who decides who gets access and who has too small of a business or is too high of a security risk? Unless entirely different hardware is used, is it really possible to separate the infranet from hackers coming on from the internet? I admit not having much tech knowledge, but still find these issues interesting.
