Juniper Networks Expands High-Performance Routing, Security and Network Management Offerings to Provide Secure Branch Office Connectivity.

Company's Enterprise Branch Office Strategy Gains Momentum

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:JNPR), the leader in high-performance networking, today extended its networking infrastructure offerings with the addition of the J2320 and J2350 J-series services routers, Secure Services Gateway 320M (SSG 320M) and SSG 350M security platforms and two new network management appliances with the Juniper NetScreen-Security Manager (NSM) Central Manager and Juniper NSMXpress. The addition of these new products underscores Juniper Networks' ongoing commitment to designing, developing and delivering best-in-class secure networking technologies for enterprise branch office deployments. The new J-series, SSG and NSM products will enable enterprises to accelerate the secure delivery of business critical applications across their networks and ensure that their information technology initiatives deliver business value.

As enterprises strive to enhance user productivity through the fast, reliable and secure delivery of business applications to branch offices, they must also anticipate the escalating demands and risks along the way. To be successful, enterprises must simultaneously empower a growing number of branch office users, successfully converge disparate legacy networks, proactively contain security risks, and deploy new business applications. 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 NSMXpress and the NSM Central Manager, enterprises can scale the enforcement of global security policies with greater ease, efficiency and effectiveness.

"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 and Security Architect, Senior Project and 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 Hitesh Sheth, vice president of Services Layer Technologies, 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."
