Juniper Networks product portfolio
The company's focus on technology, leadership, and technical excellence has produced an award-winning portfolio of secure and reliable platforms. Juniper Networks offers an outstanding range of diverse networking and security products that include solutions sized for the small office up to the largest IP backbone sites in the world.
Network infrastructure platforms
Juniper Networks comprehensive IP infrastructure product portfolio offers a wide variety of high-performance, reliable routing platforms, including the E-seriesTM, J-seriesTM, M-seriesTM and T-seriesTM families, and the SDXTM Service Deployment System. Based on a common product architecture featuring the proven JUNOSTM modular operating system, these platforms ensure an efficient and predictable IP infrastructure and enable secure, reliable user experience at scale.
E-series is a full-featured edge routing platform that supports carrier-class routing, broadband subscriber management services and a comprehensive range of IP services.
J-series offers the JUNOS modular operating system in a business package that is built for operations scale with lower cost of ownership at the remote edge. The J-series family supports both business and managed service deployments.
M-series portfolio offers a unique combination of best-in-class IP/MPLS capabilities with unmatched reliability, security and depth of service. This portfolio is ideal for the multi-service edge of provider networks, in small and medium cores, and in peering, route reflector and data centre applications.
T-series family of core routing platforms provides high availability, reliability, performance and scale, reducing operational and capital costs. As the central routing and switching element of a multi-chassis design, the new TX MatrixTM solution brings together multiple T640TM platforms to form a core solution capable of delivering over three billion packets-per-second throughput.
Service Deployment System (SDX-300) is designed to allow service provider customers to rapidly create and deploy new services that individualise and provide a reliable user experience with full control of underlying networks. This highly scalable, flexible, intelligent serviceware offering integrates service creation, service activation, subscriber management and accounting capabilities.
Network security solutions
Juniper Networks provides innovative and market-leading security technologies throughout the network to mitigate the risks associated with connecting and delivering critical network services and business applications. Juniper's security products provide network-level and application-level awareness, enabling more intelligent and timely security decisions. Built-in resiliency and reliability capabilities ensure highly available network operations.
Integrated Firewall/IPSec VPN: The Juniper Networks Firewall/IPSec VPN security devices are purpose-built to perform essential security functions. These integrated devices combine a stateful inspection firewall with deep inspection technology for application-level protection. IPSec virtual private networking (VPN) capabilities offer resilient, secure connectivity between headquarters and remote users. Denial of service (DoS) mitigation functions are standard. When additional application-level protection is needed, Juniper's remote office firewall/VPN devices also include anti-virus capabilities to help eliminate virus threats from the network as well as web filtering functionality to set policies on corporate web use.
SSL VPN: Juniper Networks SSL VPNs allow customers to cost-effectively extend secure access to mobile employees, partners and customers by providing granular user-based and group-based access control of both application and full network resources. Juniper Networks SSL VPNs eliminate the need for client-software deployment, changes to internal servers and costly ongoing maintenance and desktop support. These secure access devices combine the overall benefit of a lower total cost of ownership over traditional IPSec client solutions with unique end-to-end security features.
Intrusion prevention: Juniper Networks intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) products integrate application and network visibility with incident investigation and remediation, helping customers quickly and confidently deploy inline attack prevention. When deployed inline, Juniper Networks IDP effectively identifies and stops network and application-level attacks before they inflict any damage, minimising the time and costs associated with intrusions. IDP not only helps protect networks against attacks, it also provides information on rogue servers and applications that may have been added to the network without an administrator's knowledge.
Application acceleration solutions: Juniper Networks application acceleration platforms provide secure and assured application delivery across the extended business by improving the performance of client-server and web-enabled business applications for branch-office, remote and mobile users. These acceleration platforms play a critical role in today’s extended business by delivering LAN-like performance to users around the globe who access centralised applications. Organisations can simultaneously benefit from server centralisation and data-centre consolidation efforts while enjoying the productivity gains realised across the full spectrum of client-server and web-enabled business applications, regardless of the user’s location. The application acceleration platforms provide substantial operational savings by eliminating the need to deploy servers in branch offices, dramatically simplifying system maintenance, management and administration while reducing IT staffing requirements. The platforms also enable considerable capital savings by reducing the number of web and application servers, application licences, distributed file and e-mail servers, data centres and WAN services required to support the business. Finally, the application acceleration platforms give IT tremendous visibility into application performance across the distributed business, in data centres and branch offices and into the behaviour of remote and mobile users, providing information critical to effective troubleshooting, problem resolution and capacity planning.
Data centre (DX) application acceleration platforms: The DX application acceleration platforms act as data-centre accelerators to offload routine and repetitive administrative tasks from application servers, freeing the devices to concentrate on serving application data quickly. Residing in the data centre in front of web and application servers, the DX platforms incorporate critical security, acceleration, availability, and visibility and control capabilities that dramatically simplify the data centre architecture by collapsing multiple functions into a single platform while decreasing the number of web servers required to support demand. Unique scaling and adaptive content processing capabilities provide a level of availability and control that ensures all users accessing web-based business applications, whether centralised, remote or mobile, experience much faster response times and more reliable page downloads.
WAN (WX/WXC) application acceleration platforms: The WX/WXC application acceleration platforms optimise WAN resources to improve the performance of mission-critical applications over wide-area links for remote users in branch offices. The platforms integrate powerful compression and caching, acceleration, application control and visibility technologies to free up capacity by eliminating redundant transmissions over wide-area links, speed application response times by overcoming latency, assure application delivery with quality of service, bandwidth management and path optimisation capabilities and deliver system-wide visibility into and reporting of WAN and application performance via powerful software tools. Deployed in any extended business, the WX and WXC platforms facilitate application roll-outs, enable data centre and server consolidation, enhance disaster recovery and back-up and simplify regulatory compliance. Working together to accelerate the broad range of TCP-based and web-based business applications, as well as specific applications such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft file services, the DX and WX/WXC application acceleration platforms overcome the performance limitations imposed in the data centre and the WAN to unleash the true power of the extended business.
