We’ve been doing a good job of staying ahead of this trend.” For example, we provide Layer 3 VPN access from iPhones and iPads. “This drove us to accommodate devices running iOS and Android. “Many have gone from corporate-owned and -managed devices to mobile devices owned and operated by users,” he said. Embracing the move to secure mobilityĪccording to director of product management Rich Campagna, Junos Pulse is a reaction to the dramatic shift in device types and ownership sweeping the industry.

To deliver more cost-effective, easier-to-manage control, Juniper recently introduced a new MAG Series of Junos Pulse Gateways, described here in EnterpriseNetworkingPlanet’s remote access VPN buyer’s guide.

In parallel, Juniper developed the IC Series of Unified Access Control (UAC) appliances to control LAN resource access.Īs the gap between remote and local evaporates, enterprises need to enforce policies independent of endpoint location. It will be interesting to see how Siris plays this - companies in their line of business are not known for their altruism.When Juniper Networks acquired Netscreen, the SA Series of SSL VPN appliances created by Neoteris came along for the ride.

Increase shareholder value, concentrate on core products, yadda yadda yadda. Now that Siris will own Pulse I've heard the Juniper wants to continue to re-sell the Pulse products but without having to invest in developing them. STRM is a re-badged product anyway but it does allow them to claim firewall monitoring capabilities that they'd otherwise not have. Junos Space needs a lot of work still but I'm betting they'll keep it because you've got to have a management platform even if it's a bit half-arsed. It will be interesting, and concerning, to see what they do about their various management products. It wouldn't surprise me to see the wireless line go although I'm not sure it's got a good enough name in the market to actually find a buyer. It remains to be seen what other product lines they ditch. Incidentally, the Pulse sale also includes the MAG user access control stuff but I don't think that was anywhere near as popular as the SSL VPN products. It looks like they just mean to keep the SRXs in-house. I had sort-of assumed that its Pulse product lines would come under the 'security' heading but obviously not. Juniper has already announced that it will be concentrating on its service provider, enterprise networking and security product lines.
