The New Campus Network is Simply Connected
The campus infrastructure exists to connect users to applications, and connecting should be a very simple process. Juniper makes it simple to get on the network from a wide variety of wired and wireless connections, and simple for IT to control access through a simpler architecture and centralized policies.

The Challenge
Employees and visitors to enterprise and educational campus facilities are asking for the network to change as they bring personal wireless devices into the workplace and expect pervasive and easy connectivity for them. The evolution of wired to wireless network access, the new devices that come along with it, and fiscal prudence are forcing IT organizations to rethink their campus network strategy.
The top three objectives of this new campus network strategy are: (1) resilient and ubiquitous wireless connectivity to the network, (2) network security for the user irrespective of device, and (3) overall network simplification. At Juniper Networks, we call the ability to solve these network challenges by improving both the network experience and the economics of running a network, Simply Connected.
The Solution
Juniper Networks offers a comprehensive portfolio of products for the campus wired network and wireless environment that can be managed centrally by a single campus network management application. There are four aspects to a Simply Connected Campus:
- Secure, device-agnostic connections
- One general purpose network for all applications
- Evolution to a dense wireless access environment
- Simplified campus wired network
Juniper offers a comprehensive set of network products and services that deliver all of these. The EX Series Ethernet switches, Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers, and Juniper Networks Wireless LAN solutions provide the basic connectivity building blocks within the campus network. Firewalls, Unified Access Control, Juniper Networks IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances, Juniper SRX Series Services Gateways, Juniper Networks SA Series SSL VPN Appliances, and Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite combine to provide a comprehensive set of security services for the campus network. Virtually all campus network products run the Junos operating system and can be managed by the Network and Security Management (NSM) application. As an added value, Juniper offers world-class professional services that include technical, educational, consulting, installation and configuration services.
