Juniper Networks has announced the Juniper Networks Cloud-Enabled Branch, a solution to allow enterprises and managed service providers to create and automate the delivery of branch office networking services on-demand. According to Juniper Networks, companies want to adopt private, public and hybrid cloud models and offer software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications but lack a comprehensive solution suite to deploy these services.
A cloud-enabled branch will transform enterprise operations with new services and applications that are dynamically delivered through software automation, applications and an open platform for third-party services. This platform approach ensures that enterprises can always have the new capabilities their business needs via rapid software deployments rather than requiring time-consuming hardware rollouts.
Part of Juniper Networks Unite, the Cloud-Enabled Branch enables distributed businesses to deploy a branch on-demand, including SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) functionality and advanced premises-based and cloud-delivered security capabilities. The Cloud-Enabled Branch offers centralised automation and orchestration across all locations, delivering network services from the data centre or locally on the Juniper Networks NFX250 and Juniper Networks SRX300.
Beyond SD-WAN, multiple network services from Juniper and third parties can be delivered on the NFX250, which integrates compute resources with networking capabilities and can include advanced security with Juniper Networks Sky Advanced Threat Prevention as part of Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Network.
“As business opportunities arise, enterprises need to expand their domestic and global footprints to fuel new growth. With the introduction of Juniper Networks Cloud-Enabled Branch, customers can now create branches on-demand to accelerate service deployments or instantly apply business updates and security policies consistently across locations. As part of the Juniper Networks Unite architecture, this new milestone furthers our goal to modernise enterprise environments with simple, automated and secure solutions through the power of the cloud,” said Jennifer Blatnik, VP of cloud, security and enterprise portfolio marketing, Juniper Networks.
“Today, it is more critical than ever for enterprises to be able to quickly and securely spin up new branch locations to capitalise on business opportunities as they emerge. We believe open partner ecosystems deliver the best choice for customers as they adapt their networks to meet the demands of today’s era of digital transformation. We look forward to continuing to work with Juniper Networks to deliver high performance, simple, and automated wireless LAN solutions that enable our joint customers to deploy and utilise the high-bandwidth applications and services they demand,” said Bart Giordano, VP worldwide strategic sales, Ruckus wireless business unit, Brocade.
“Time is money, and in order to maintain a competitive advantage in today’s dynamic marketplace, geographically distributed enterprises need the agility and flexibility to deploy new branch services at the click of a button. Coupling the new Juniper Cloud-Enabled Branch solution with the feature set offered by the Silver Peak CPX virtual appliance for WAN optimisation presents customers with choice and flexibility to deploy the most cost-effective WAN connectivity in order to optimise business application performance and empower branch users,” said Fraser Street, VP of technology alliances, Silver Peak.
“Given the significant, ongoing transition to cloud-based applications and services, enterprise IT is under pressure to cost-effectively deliver new capabilities and services to the branch and the WAN, especially in highly distributed enterprises. With the expansion of Juniper’s vision of the Cloud-Enabled Branch, and with a strong heritage in secure routing, it is well positioned to service the growing aspirations of enterprises wanting to more efficiently manage application delivery to their branch offices, all while driving down costly WAN overhead expenses. This roadmap is synergistically aligned with IDC’s view that branch/WAN architectures will ultimately benefit from cloud-managed platforms to centrally manage and secure IT assets and applications at scale,” said Rohit Mehra, VP of network infrastructure, IDC.
