KUALA LUMPUR, 24 OCTOBER 2008 - High performance network firm Juniper Networks, Inc. has announced a new portfolio of products, Intelligent Services Edge, to help address business challenges for customers building and expanding high-performance networks.
The company’s Malaysia country manager, Wan Kamal, said the new range – Intelligent Services Edge - would extend the architectural integrity of its JUNOS® software and Juniper’s advanced M- and MX-series platforms.
Kamal said that these advancements would allow intelligent convergence at the edge, while speeding deployment of new services and reduce operational costs and complexity.
Power of one
He added that Intelligent Services Edge leverages a single, consistent operating system and high-performance hardware to flexibly deliver many service types—including broadband routing, voice, multimedia and integrated security, as well as application-level awareness.
“Service providers and enterprises will be able to use these new enhancements to fuel revenue growth and operational efficiencies,” he said. “JUNOS software is the company’s network operating system and is the industry’s only network operating system delivering the Power of One: one software release train, one modular architecture and one operating system across multiple routing, switching and security platforms.”
In addition, he said that the Intelligent Services Edge – available from quarter three of 2009 -would extend the power of JUNOS by adding edge services that include broadband routing, which extends subscriber management technology from the market-leading E-series Broadband Services Routers to the M- and MX-series platforms.
“JUNOS has long been a key differentiator for Juniper, and with the Intelligent Services Edge, we are further extending our leadership by leveraging JUNOS as the foundation for many more advanced edge services such as application awareness, broadband routing, security, voice and multimedia,” said Kamal.
“Our customers would continue to benefit from the operational efficiency and simplicity of a single network operating system in additional parts of their network and, together with the Partner Solution Development Platform, can create and deploy a virtually limitless number of services on JUNOS. This would enable service providers to monetize their networks by improving service flexibility and velocity.”
