Service Provider: Secure

Today's security administrator must not only secure traffic flows from client to server, but also secure increased traffic between physical and virtual servers, applications, and other data centres. The increased access and sophistication of security threats in a cloud data centre necessitate expanded security protection capabilities. Appropriate security policies affect service availability of business-critical applications as well as operations.

To complement the simplification and sharing of the cloud data centre, the security services also should be consolidated and virtualised. This approach enhances the flexibility and efficiency for the entire security solution.

Juniper Networks has developed cloud-enabled dynamic, security services that not only meet today’s security and performance requirements, but also address the mega scalability needs of service providers. Services such as application-aware denial of service, stateful firewall, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and VPN are consolidated on a security platform to provide the flexibility and efficiency required to dynamically assign resources to the services. We provide security solution best practices guides to minimise risk and speed time to implementation when configuring security solutions for the cloud data centre.

Solution Components

Security

• SRX Series Services Gateways: Combine routing, switching, application services, and user- and application-aware security within a modular, expandable chassis to deliver unprecedented performance and flexibility while reducing management overhead.
• Unified Access Control Solutions: Offer powerful identity- and role-based access control that increases agility in service deployment and overall quality of experience. Can be deployed within the data centre or across the extended enterprise to protect networks and applications.
• SA Series SSL VPN Appliances: Provide scalable, simplified, and secure access to data centre resources from multiple remote networks and platforms.

Junos Platform

• Junos Pulse: A dynamic, standards-based multiservice network client that drastically simplifies user experiences by delivering integrated connectivity, access, application acceleration, and security.
• Junos Space: Provides applications for network infrastructure automation including:
  • Junos Space Ethernet Design — Helps deploy an entire network just as easily as a single switch.
  • Junos Space Network Activate — Allows for full lifecycle management of MPLS services, and quick and easy set-up of VPLS services.
  • Junos Space Route Insight — Enables rapid planning, troubleshooting, and change simulation for L3 services.
  • Junos Space Service Now — Automates diagnostics to speed problem resolution.
  • Junos Space Service Insight — Delivers proactive, actionable network insight to manage risk and improve application reliability.
  • Junos Space Security Design — Enables bulk configuration and provisioning of complex security policies.
  • Junos Space Virtual Control — Allows you to monitor, manage, and control networks running within virtualised servers in the data centre, so you can control both virtual and physical networks from a single management screen.

Network Operating System

• Junos OS: Integrates routing, switching, and security services to reduce complexity, achieve operational excellence, and deliver dynamic services with lower TCO.

Network Management

• Network and Security Manager (NSM): Provides a single pane of management for the entire network infrastructure, including routing, switching, and security devices.
• STRM Series Security Threat Response Managers: Collect events and alerts from different Juniper and third-party products and aggregate them in order to provide an enterprise-wide threat management view.

Technical Services

• Juniper Care: A family of support services built on the service automation features of Junos Space Service Now and Junos Space Service Insight application. Juniper Care improves business application reliability by ensuring the network is performing optimally. Time-consuming and complex support-management activities are automated, improving up-time and time-to-resolution (TTR) with service automation capability. Juniper Care relies on the Junos Space platform delivered by Service Now for reactive event management, and the Junos Space Service Insight application for adaptive and proactive management. Juniper Care also delivers direct and personalised assistance including design, maintenance, and support escalation.
