Business Solutions

Business productivity increasingly depends upon the critical operations carried out at branch offices, with an estimated 80% or more of employees now working outside headquarters (Gartner). Yet even as employees are becoming increasingly distributed, enterprises are centralizing applications to simplify operations and reduce costs. These changes create new infrastructure challenges as branch-office users require the same secure, fast and consistent access to applications and network resources as their counterparts at headquarters.

The Branch Office Resource Center provides demos, literature, case studies and tools on how to maintain secure and assured application delivery for branch-office users while enabling key IT initiatives. Find solutions to specific issues related to the changing branch and remote office needs for: security, application performance, connectivity and server centralisation.

Are you playing a dangerous game trying to open access to your network for both employees and non-employees for the sake of increasing productivity, while locking it down to meet security requirements, all the while trying to keep it simple for users? Juniper Networks Controlling Access removes the complexity in aligning your network access needs.

Juniper Networks delivers a comprehensive network security solution for securing and controlling network access that meets the complex needs of today’s enterprise environment. This network security solution protects vital network resources and applications. Called Juniper Networks Controlling Access, it fuses the security and intelligent control of remote access. This broad network access control (NAC) solution combines user identity, device security state and location information for a session-specific network access policy by user. Now organizations can enforce policy as lenient or strict as they choose while they control traffic, identify and contain noncompliant users and devices, and eliminate and mitigate malware and other threats.

Organizations are confidently controlling and securing access across their entire network, whether users are remote or LAN-based. Juniper Networks Controlling Access solution is delivered by deploying remote access protection with the Secure Access (SA) SSL VPN appliances and LAN-based access control with Unified Access Control (UAC).

Globalization and the move to virtualize business operations are among the trends placing new demands on the IT infrastructure, especially its nerve center - the data center. To meet new requirements and maintain business objectives IT is targeting four key data center initiatives that bring both new benefits and challenges.

To meet new requirements and maintain business objectives, IT is targeting four key data center initiatives that bring both new benefits and challenges.

Consolidation: To reduce costs and complexity businesses are consolidating data centers to fewer sites, but IT must continue to ensure application availability and performance to all users, regardless of distance.

Centralization: Centralization of servers and other data center infrastructure from branch sites reduces expenses associated with hardware, software and staffing. At the same time centralization increases latency and adds a new layer of security considerations.

Webification: Web-enablement of applications enhances interoperability and accessibility but also increases management complexity and poses performance and security risks.

Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery: Ensuring business continuity with a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, data replication and backup strategy is critical. However, backup data centers typically fail to meet their recover-point objective, as they are unable to deliver the high-bandwidth, low-latency services that permit continuous replication of data.

Juniper Networks has the experience and solutions to help organizations achieve their goals in restructuring their data centers, without creating new application issues. Juniper Networks solutions address the most pressing challenges impacting today’s data center by meeting the stringent requirements for increased security, scalability, and application performance.
