Mar 2011 Juniper Networks Announces Security Leadership for Juniper QFabric™ Architecture
Juniper Networks today unveiled the security strategy for QFabric Data Center architecture, also announced today. QFabric is a single layer data center fabric that removes barriers to efficiency in the data center. Juniper's scalable data center security is enhanced by QFabric's ability to deliver any-to-any data center resource availability. This enables massive scale and comprehensive visibility, while at the same time reducing the complexity of the data center.

Feb 2011 Unleash the Power of the Virtualized Data Center with Juniper's QFabric
The data center is at the core of today's business. It delivers applications, services, and compute resources that allow the business to grow effectively. Fueled by exponential demands, the infrastructure within the data center is evolving as evidenced by new application architectures, server virtualization, and cloud computing. But because the data center network is still built on a legacy multi-layered tree structure, it has become a limiting factor to achieving greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and scale. Tree structures create problems with scaling and add complexity to the data center, impacting performance and inhibiting the flexibility and agility that businesses demand. All of this stands in the way of realizing the full benefits of the virtualized data center.

Jan 2011 Magic Quadrant for SSL VPN
Leaders demonstrate balanced progress, effort and clout in all execution and vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all products in the market, and they can change the course of the industry. To remain in the Leaders quadrant, vendors must excel in performance, scalability and protection, and must dominate in sales. However, a leading vendor is not a default choice for all buyers, and clients are warned not to assume that they should buy only from the Leaders Quadrant. To stay on the right side of the chart, Leaders (and Visionaries) must follow courses that are competitively disruptive, not only ahead of the curve, but offering features that remove significant roadblocks to vendor sales and buyer implementations. One example of a competitively disruptive activity might include, but is not limited to, delivering a superior smartphone client in terms of capability, user experience and user adoption that could significantly stimulate new smartphone VPN deployments.

Mar 2011 Take the Uncertainty Out of your Core Network Planning with the PTX Series Packet Transport Switches
The predictable “connect point A to point B” service model of the voice-only years has almost entirely disappeared. In its place is an “anywhere, anytime, any service” connection model driven by the proliferation of mobile users accessing video and data intensive services from whatever device they have at hand. The result? A steady increase in network traffic – about 40% year over year – with unpredictable volume, characteristics, and patterns that can no longer be defined in terms of bandwidth and speed alone.
