Great Bay Software Launches Expanded Platform Capacity for Beacon Endpoint Profiler at the Juniper Networks J-Partner Summit
Software Innovator and J-Partner to Demonstrate How Its Award-Winning Endpoint Profiling Provides Real-Time, Contextual Endpoint Visibility
GREENLAND, NH--(Marketwire - April 25, 2008) - Great Bay Software, the innovator of Endpoint
Profiling for enterprise networks, today announced it will be releasing
significant new capacity enhancements for its flagship product, the Beacon
Endpoint Profiler, at the Juniper Networks annual J-Partner Summit, April
27-29 in Las Vegas. The expanded system capacity will allow Juniper Unified
Access Control (UAC) customers to improve the opportunity for a successful
deployment by facilitating a centralized store of endpoint information in
large enterprise environments. The 50k and 100k systems from Great Bay
represent a significant increase in capacity and fault tolerance, both
critical attributes of solutions for large enterprise.
Discovering and documenting all network attached endpoints is a task that
can consume a great deal of time at a large cost. This has been a principal
cause of many stalled authentication projects in the past. Great Bay
Software's Beacon Endpoint Profiler provides a comprehensive accounting of
all network attached endpoints. The information stored within Beacon is
leveraged by the Juniper Networks UAC to authenticate endpoints that are
not running a client for 802.1X -- whether they are incapable of doing so,
new to the enterprise, or in need of temporary access. Now, with the
Beacon hardware device's expanded capacity of 50k or 100k endpoints, it is
easier than ever to automate network discovery prior to a large UAC
deployment.
"Great Bay's solutions continue to complement our UAC offering and enable
customers to deploy high-performance networking solutions that better
secure and control access to and provide greater visibility into their
network," said Doug Erickson, director of worldwide alliance and channel
development at Juniper Networks. "We look forward to Great Bay Software
participating in our upcoming J-Partner Summit and demonstrating how the
combined solution of Juniper UAC and Great Bay Software's Beacon Endpoint
Profiler provides a more complete endpoint security solution that customers
require."
"Great Bay Software is proud to debut our 50k and 100k systems in support
of the market's continuing trend towards large enterprise deployments of
802.1X and NAC," said Steve Pettit, president of Great Bay Software. "As a
J-Partner, we have seen the benefits of sharing a strategic and technology
partnership with Juniper and its partners, and we look forward to providing
more innovation that will assist Juniper customers of all sizes during the
deployment of UAC solutions."
