As a three year “veteran” at Juniper, I have seen the evolution and uptake of Juniper security solutions by customers to solve their key business challenges. Security is CORE for Juniper and our customers.
Customer Centric
Juniper’s security solutions solve customers’ most important challenges, as they demand hybrid cloud environments and build high IQ networks. Juniper’s security solutions don’t hinder cloud adoption. Rather, they enable secure, reliable clouds. Our newest security offerings (DDoS Secure, WebApp Secure, and Spotlight Secure) employ advanced techniques to detect and mitigate advanced threats with greater efficacy than traditional security solutions, helping customers achieve faster ROI, increase operational efficiency, maintain brand reputation and drive customer loyalty.
Open Platform
The Junos platform, on which many of our security offerings, including SRX firewalls, are based, offers a revolutionary software platform that allows customers to directly program their networks and run applications developed by an ecosystem of partners for rich user experiences, smart economics, and fast time to market. We don’t restrict customers in terms of how they want to build, optimize and scale their networks and associated security. In fact, recently, we even extended the ability for customers to leverage the proven Junos-based SRX firewall in virtualized environments by launching Firefly Perimeter in January 2014. Firefly Perimeter addresses the new security challenges required to protect virtualized and cloud environments for enterprises and service providers by leveraging the same advanced security and networking features of the Branch SRX Services Series Gateway in a virtual machine format.
Revenue Generating
In terms of market share, Juniper continues to lead in the high-end firewall and SSL VPN markets* and strengthen its offerings in these categories. For example, in anticipation of growth in the adoption of next generation firewalls, Juniper just released new enhancements to its SRX Series Services Gateways. These next-generation security products help customers protect against threats and control what’s on their network without adding a heavy administrative burden.
Also, Juniper’s high-end SRX5400 Services Gateway was recently awarded at the Interop Tokyo 2014 event. It received the Best of Show Award Grand Prix in the ShowNet Product category and the Best of Show Award Special Prize in the Security category. The SRX5400 is the latest offering in our SRX Series portfolio, based on a revolutionary new architecture, and uses new line cards to provide market-leading connectivity, performance and service integration.
Evolution through Innovation
Every day, Juniper Networks is helping our customers build the best networks on the planet. Every innovation we envision and every technology we create is informed by our desire to help solve our customers’ toughest challenges so they can compete and thrive today and into the future. Our solutions really make a difference by helping to “connect everything” and “empower everyone”.
And, just to underscore Juniper’s resolve to deliver what customers need, we’ve embarked on a journey where we ask our customers to partner with us -- to co-create and deliver secure hybrid cloud ecosystems and highly intelligent networks of the future. Gone are the days when customers would be at the receiving end of “marketing” speak, sold a product, and then just left to their own devices. Now, you can be part of the action early on. So, are you ready to join Juniper and together embark on the “Bridge to the Future”, as our CEO, Shaygan Kheradpir, so eloquently puts it?
