BARCELONA--(Marketwire - February 14, 2010) - Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE: JNPR) today
announced that Nokia Siemens Networks has certified four new security
solutions that integrate Juniper products for fixed and mobile networks. As
part of the two companies' global partnership, the new solutions are
fully-tested and ready for easy deployment and rapid service enablement.
Wireless industry leaders like T-Mobile have already successfully deployed
these solutions.
"Service providers need to make security of all IP-based services a top
priority in order to ensure integrity of the infrastructure," said Mark
Bauhaus, executive vice president and general manager, SLT Products Group,
Juniper Networks. "Juniper's scalable network security products are built
to provide the performance required to support next-generation services,
including rich applications for smartphones. By building on our partnership
with Nokia Siemens Networks and our continuous path of innovation, we are
now jointly bringing new security features to the network that ensures the
reliability and availability of value-added services."
Four new security solutions have been certified by Nokia Siemens Networks:
- The Mobile Packet Core Security Solution protects from
unauthorized access, manipulation attacks and theft from untrusted networks
in a cost-efficient way. This solution provides service providers with the
ability to integrate value-added services, such as Internet access, video
delivery, and push-to-talk without compromising security.
- The Subscriber Data Management Security Solution is a
pre-configured solution that protects infrastructures against IP-based
attacks, while eliminating theft or manipulation of subscriber data. By
enabling service providers to centrally manage their security platforms and
protect components against unauthorized access, this solution ensures the
reliability and availability of revenue-generating services. Core to the
success of this solution is the fulfilment of carrier-grade failover times
and high availability.
- The Security-as-a-Service Solution enables network operators to
capitalize on new revenue streams and increase customer retention by
offering security services on top of communication services. This solution
can uniquely address the needs of small and mid-sized enterprise customers
that do not have in-house expertise and resources to manage their own
security solutions and need to optimize OPEX by outsourcing security
operations. This solution includes firewall, intrusion detection and IPSec
VPN services for secure email and Internet access as well as secure remote
login and site-to-site connectivity.
- The Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Solution
analyzes and manages disparate sets of surveillance and log data -- network
behavior, security events, vulnerability profiles and threat information --
to efficiently manage networks from a single console. It also automates
security processes, log management, workflows, reporting and compliance
handling, and provides powerful tools for incident management, forensic
analysis and detection of abnormal network behavior. SIEM is the core
component of Nokia Siemens Networks Security Operation Center (SOC)
solution.
"There is nothing more critical today than securing network infrastructures
and our customers rely on us to provide them with turnkey solutions that
protect their most valuable assets from the most sophisticated attacks,"
said Thorsten Schneider, Head of Security Business Line, Nokia Siemens
Networks. "By extending our relationship with Juniper, we are bringing to
the market leading security solutions, coupled with unique expertise and a
proven record of success in consulting, design and support to uniquely
address our customers' security needs."
In October 2009, the two companies further expanded their relationship by
forming a joint venture to serve the
Carrier Ethernet market. This joint venture will offer a fully
interoperable end-to-end Carrier Ethernet solution for mobile backhaul,
business services and residential broadband applications to enable advanced
broadband services at reduced TCO. The solution is scheduled for general
availability in Q2 2010, and will feature Nokia Siemens Networks A-series
carrier switch family for access and aggregation, Juniper's MX Series 3D
Universal Edge Routers for high-end aggregation and core, and Nokia Siemens
Networks Aspen/NetAct network management system for end-to-end management
of the entire solution.
