New offering Juniper Networks Cloud-Enabled Branch automates and accelerates the delivery of branch services for organizations
Juniper Networks has announced Juniper Networks Cloud-Enabled Branch, a transformative solution that will allow enterprises and managed service providers alike to seamlessly create and automate delivery of branch office networking services on-demand. As part of Juniper Networks Unite, agile enterprise cloud architecture, the new solution suite helps companies accelerate deployment of real-time services and applications, including SD-WAN functionality, across branch locations incorporating network automation, zero touch provisioning and an open platform. The suite includes security capabilities to proactively identify and intelligently respond to threats and enforce polices across all branch locations.
Today’s enterprises need a modernized network to speed up business expansion and improve employee productivity and collaboration. As a result, companies are quickly realizing the business benefits for private, public and hybrid cloud models and offering SaaS-based applications that promote growth and scale. However, they lack a comprehensive solution suite to deploy these services whether via their own in-house IT or through managed services. A cloud-enabled branch will transform enterprise operations with new services and applications that are dynamically delivered through software automation, applications and an open platform for third-party services. This platform approach ensures that enterprises can always have the new capabilities their business needs via rapid software deployments rather than requiring time-consuming hardware rollouts.
With the Cloud-Enabled Branch, distributed businesses will be able to deploy a branch on-demand, including SD-WAN functionality and advanced premises-based and cloud-delivered security capabilities. This provides the ability to deliver a consistent and secure user experience across all branch locations. The SD-WAN functionality is expected to enable enterprises to reduce costs by utilizing various network links as appropriate for different businesses, the release said.
