Architecture
Junos operating system is primarily based on the FreeBSD kernel, an advantage of which is the Unix-like environment: customers can access a Unix shell and execute normal Unix commands. Junos is platform independent within Juniper hardware systems. After Juniper acquired NetScreen, it also integrated ScreenOS security functions into its own Junos network operating system so that now Juniper offers routing and security functions in a single device.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“Art is a jealous mistress, and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider, and should be wise in season and not fetter himself with duties which will embitter his days and spoil him for his proper work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
