Juniper Networks Integrates Security Services Into JUNOS Software
Juniper Networks, the provider of high-performance networking, has announced JUNOS 9.0 software, a single-source operating system. Juniper has integrated security services from its ScreenOS software into its JUNOS 9.0 software for implementation on its J-series services routers. With the integration of security services, JUNOS 9.0 addresses the business challenges of managing complex and often disparate operating systems to secure applications, data and network infrastructure, says the company.
IT organizations are under continuous pressure to secure the network in order to meet demanding and changing application and service requirements. To keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving landscape of internal and external threats, the need for dedicated, high-performance security processing is required for all layers of the network. Legacy networking devices running various services on disparate operating systems not only heighten security risks, they divert IT resources, stifle innovation and ultimately diminish competitive advantage. To help mitigate exposure to these risks, Juniper Networks’ strategy is to continually integrate best-in-class services into JUNOS software.
“Enterprise infrastructures are often inundated by multiple, inconsistent versions and releases of network operating systems, which can result in unpredictable security and performance as new features are enabled on the network,” said Jon Oltsik, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Running a single-source operating system across a high-performance network infrastructure enables faster innovation by providing network administrators with the confidence to quickly turn on new network features without compromising network performance, stability and security.”
The new integrated security services are currently available on JUNOS 9.0 software for the J-series services routers. JUNOS 9.0 software with integrated security services for the J-series services routers is currently available. JUNOS 9.0 software is also available for the T-series and M-series routers, the MX-series Ethernet services router, and the EX-series Ethernet switches.
