Juniper Networks, Inc., the leader in high-performance networking,
today announces a new suite of products for the fast, reliable and
secure delivery of business-critical applications to branch offices.
The company extends its networking infrastructure offerings with the
addition of two new J-series services routers (the J2320 and J2350),
security platforms (Secure Services Gateway or SSG 320M and SSG
350M) and two new network management appliances with the Juniper
NetScreen-Security Manager (NSM) Central Manager and Juniper NSM
Xpress.
These new products underscore Juniper Networks' ongoing commitment
to designing, developing and delivering best-in-class secure
networking technologies for enterprise branch office deployments.
"With the branch office market evolving and the demand for
choice and flexibility increasing, enterprises struggle to provide a
high-performance, secure, and reliable network to branch office
users," said Andrew Braunberg, Research Director, Enterprise
Security and Software, Current Analysis. "In order to
effectively secure their networks, administrators require visibility
into emerging security threats and a simplified method of
implementing, enforcing and measuring compliance to global security
policies across their entire network and do so with a centralized
network management device."
"Our business requires us to provide integrated best-in-class
security, WAN connectivity, and multiple network and business
services so we can deliver a dependable and secure experience to our
employees, customers, and strategic business partners," said
Pete Revel, Lead Network & Security Architect, Sr. | Senior
Project & Technology Manager at Intermatic, Inc.. "With the
new additions to Juniper Networks' branch office portfolio we can
roll out new applications that provide strategic advantages to
maximize user productivity with reliable and secure access."
"As the sophistication and number of business critical
applications increases for the branch office, so do the performance
and security requirements of the underlying network infrastructures
supporting them," said Matt Kolon, Asia Pacific CTO for Juniper
Networks. "Juniper develops best-in-class integrated secure
networking solutions eliminating the traditional performance
trade-offs to rapidly and economically align their network
infrastructure to changing business requirements."
The new J-series services routers and SSG security platforms help
businesses meet these demands and mitigate the risks at scale by
simultaneously delivering security, reliability, and performance
with services. With the addition of the NSM Xpress and the NSM
Central Manager, enterprises can scale the enforcement of global
security policies with greater ease, efficiency and effectiveness.
Expanded networking infrastructure offerings
The new J2320 and J2350 J-series services routers join the existing
J-series family to offer predictable high-performance and a variety
of flexible interfaces that deliver secure and reliable network
connectivity to regional, branch, and remote offices. Running the
consistent modular JUNOS software, the J-series routers extends
modularity and services integration to the branch, offering
best-in-class routing with security and optional integrated IP
telephony.
Using Juniper Networks ScreenOS, the SSG 320M and SSG 350M, which
also share a common hardware platform with the J2320 and J2350
J-series routers , are purpose-built security platforms that
complement the existing SSG family of products to deliver secure
LAN/WAN connectivity at scale for small enterprise branch offices of
25-100 users. In addition to performing stateful firewall and VPN
functions, the SSG security platforms protect inbound traffic flows
from worms, spyware, Trojans, and malware with a comprehensive set
of optional Unified Threat Management security features that include
intrusion prevention, antivirus, Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering
functionality. By sharing common hardware, the new J-series and SSG
platforms enable enterprises to easily migrate from one operating
system to the other depending on their requirements.
The SSG 320M and J2320 offers three modular PIM slots, 4 on-board
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, Encryption Card (standard for SSG 320M
and optional for J2320), optional IP telephony (for the J-series
only), and delivers more than 400 Mbps of firewall traffic and 175
Mbps of VPN performance. The SSG 350M and J2350 expand upon on this
offering by providing five modular PIM slots and delivers more than
500 Mbps of firewall traffic and 225 Mbps of VPN performance.
Availability
The new Juniper Networks J2320 and J2350 J-series services routers,
SSG 320M and SSG 350M security gateways, NSM Central Manager and NSM
Xpress network management appliances are expected to be available by
end of 3Q07.
