Q3 Highlights:
High-Performance Network Infrastructure For Service Providers, Juniper announced the expansion of its MX product family, with the addition of the MX240 and MX480, designed to enable providers to more efficiently and cost-effectively deploy Ethernet networks and services. The breakthrough performance and scale and simple deployment and management of the MX family places Juniper in a good position to capitalize on the Carrier Ethernet market that is expected to nearly double in size from $3.7B in 2007 to $6.8B in 2011 according to IDC.
Juniper also announced a suite of new Dense Port Concentrator (DPC) cards that maximize MX-series system flexibility, enabling providers to drive new sources of revenue while reducing cost and complexity. Juniper is also delivering three new processor cards for the high-performance M320 multiservice edge router. These new FPC-E3s take advantage of Juniper's new I-chip ASIC development that increases system performance, scalability and provides additional QoS capabilities.
For enterprises, Juniper announced software enhancements to the Secure Access (SA) SSL VPN appliances. These appliances now offer support for a broader array of applications and platforms, enhanced granular access control, and flexible policy enforcement capabilities to meet the requirements of high-performance businesses. Through these enhancements, Juniper is providing customers with a single, open platform for secure remote access that delivers enterprise-class scalability, simplified usability and ongoing investment protection.
