Juniper Networks’ CEO, CTO and others will be at NYSE this morning to ring the Opening Bell and hold an analyst and press meeting on the occasion of the company’s transfer to NYSE from Nasdaq and the 40th anniversary of the Internet.

I had no idea the Internet was turning 40. Should I have baked Al Gore a cake?

At 10:30 a.m. EDT, Juniper Networks’ management will host a global press and analyst meeting to discuss its vision for the “new network” that will propel enterprises and service providers over the next decade. CEO Kevin Johnson and Pradeep Sindhu, founder and chief technology officer, along with other executives will unveil several new breakthrough products and partnerships, following a brief welcome by NYSE Euronext CEO Duncan Niederauer.

A live webcast of the meeting will be available here.

If you don’t know Juniper, the company describes itself as follows:

From devices to data centers, from consumers to the cloud, Juniper Networks delivers innovative software, silicon and systems that transform the experience and economics of networking. The company serves more than 30,000 customers and partners worldwide, and earned more than $3 billion in revenue over the last year. Additional information can be found at www.juniper.net

On a completely unrelated note (and since when were you expected something related from me?), today also is the 80th anniversary of a real chiller in financial-market history. May today be a whole lot better:

Today in NYSE History
28 Oct. 1929 -– “Black Tuesday,” the most dramatic day of the 1929 Crash. The DJIA was off nearly 12 percent on volume of 16 million shares, a record that would stand for decades.
