Armstrong Atlantic State University Makes the Grade With Juniper Networks Wireless Solutions

Broad Set of Wireless Solutions Meet Density Requirements of a College Campus While Delivering a Secure, Resilient Mobile User Experience at Lower Costs

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 30, 2013) - Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today announced that Armstrong Atlantic State University, part of the University System of Georgia, has successfully deployed Juniper Networks wireless solutions across its campus-wide network. To support the burgeoning use of mobile devices among students, faculty and staff, Savannah, Georgia-based Armstrong Atlantic State University partnered with Juniper Networks to build out a robust data center and campus network architecture. The new wireless local area network (WLAN) delivers a reliable, consistent mobile experience capable of handling thousands of concurrent sessions of high-definition video, online collaboration and bandwidth-intensive academic research and computational processes.

As a four-year state university offering more than 100 different academic programs to approximately 7,500 students, Armstrong recognized that implementing a comprehensive campus solution with converged wired and wireless capabilities would have a direct and positive impact on its student, faculty and staff communities. In addition, the University supports distance-learning initiatives catering to a large military and mid-career audience, which dictated the need for a robust data center solution. With Juniper Networks, Armstrong was able to build a data center and campus network that addressed their needs while lowering operating costs.

As the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend continues to evolve, the ability for wireless networks to securely support large numbers of mobile devices simultaneously is a top concern for IT administrators. Armstrong's mobile users expect a seamless wireless experience, even as they transition between wired and wireless environments; if they have a negative experience, it can be potentially damaging to the organization's reputation.

In a recent third-party test conducted by wireless broadband consulting firm Novarum, Juniper Networks wireless solutions were proven to withstand large-scale, high-density BYOD environments without interruption, even in extremely bandwidth-intensive environments. As part of the rigorous testing process, Juniper Networks wireless LAN solutions were put through multiple failure scenarios and able to maintain strong connectivity throughout. When tested against competitive offerings, the test results revealed that Juniper Networks wireless LAN solutions were able to deliver high performance network connectivity coupled with additional advanced capabilities, such as Virtual Controller Cluster, which provides hitless fail-over to ensure uninterrupted network traffic to support critical applications.

 News Highlights:

Juniper Networks® WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers and WLA Series Wireless LAN Access Points, combined with the Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches, allow Armstrong to deploy a converged data center and campus network that delivers a robust, reliable wired and wireless experience to every user, regardless of location. In addition, with the use of Junos® Space Network Director, which provides a single pane of glass view into both wired and wireless network environments, Armstrong was able to reap the benefits of more efficient network management. Since the roll-out in Spring 2012, the University has seen roughly a 30 percent reduction in operating costs over its previous network vendor deployment. The University has plans to implement a nearly end-to-end Juniper Networks solution within its data center and campus environments, which will further reduce network complexity and maximize uptime. As an institution of higher learning that must maintain and process volumes of personal student data, Armstrong takes security very seriously. With Juniper Networks MAG6610 Junos Pulse Gateways, Armstrong was able to provide authorized users, including students, faculty, staff, guests and contractors, with safe, secure remote and LAN-based network access from anywhere on campus. The MAG Series Gateways integrate with the University's authentication system and interoperate with EX Series switches and any 802.1x device for dynamic context-aware security policy enforcement. To ensure a smooth deployment with minimal downtime, Armstrong turned to network systems integrator and Juniper Networks Partner Advantage Program Elite partner, Layer 3 Communications. Following the initial deployment, Layer 3 Communications continues to provide Armstrong with professional and technical support services for product support and maintenance at the local level.

-Rodney Turner, chief executive officer, Layer 3 Communications

"For this test -- the largest public wireless LAN test of its kind -- we constructed a repeatable test scenario with 300+ typical Wi-Fi clients accessing an enterprise WLAN consisting of six modern dual-band 802.11n enterprise access points in a high availability configuration with redundant controllers. In almost all of the tests we conducted, we overloaded the network with more traffic than would occur in a 'real-life' scenario so that we could observe how the network behaved under stress. The Juniper Networks WLAN system delivered consistent throughput during these tests and operated in a stable fashion under very high offered load. The Juniper system excelled at spreading the client load evenly -- with each laptop, tablet or smartphone getting a fair slice of the available system capacity. We also created some intentional hardware failures during the testing and the Juniper Networks WLAN system proved to be rock-solid through them all. The Juniper system maintained consistent network connectivity and throughput during a controller failover in the middle of a test."
-Phil Belanger, founder and chief marketing officer, Novarum

"Like many enterprises, universities are under extreme pressure to balance investment to ensure competitiveness while functioning under tight budgetary constraints. Industry disruptors like BYOD are forcing colleges to grapple with challenges such as explosive volume of devices used on campus. These devices are straining bandwidth resources and demanding new security requirements. At Juniper Networks, our customer-driven innovation is derived from closely listening to what our customers need and building the best solutions to help them solve their biggest challenges. This is why our wireless products are built to deliver highly resilient and reliable performance at scale."

Juniper Networks Announces Availability of Comprehensive Distributed Denial of Service Protection for the Data Center

Junos DDoS Secure Only Security Solution to Deliver Intelligence-Based Analytics That Prevent High-Volume and Targeted Application-Level Attacks

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2013) - Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today announced the availability of Junos® DDoS Secure to protect data centers against increasingly complex Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. A key part of Juniper's security portfolio, Junos DDoS Secure uses behavioral analytics and detailed network visibility to provide scalable protection against all major types of DDoS attacks. 

For enterprises and service providers with a major online presence, the potential loss of productivity and customers due to a network outage from an attack can be catastrophic to business operations. According to a February 2013 Ponemon Institute study commissioned by Juniper Networks, IT professionals surveyed cited web-based (65 percent) and DDoS attacks (60 percent) as the most serious types of attacks experienced by companies. Along with traditional high-volume attacks that leverage massive amounts of traffic to overwhelm a data center, businesses now face targeted low-bandwidth attacks on data-heavy applications that go undetected by traditional DDoS mitigation solutions.

Preventing application-level or "low-and-slow" attacks requires security professionals have granular visibility and control of network traffic once it enters the data center versus simply the ability to block DDoS traffic at the edge of the network. Juniper Networks® Junos DDoS Secure offers this visibility providing customers with fully automated DDoS protection against "low-and-slow" application attacks with minimal false positives, as well as up to 10 Gbps of mitigation against volumetric attacks.

News Highlights
Junos DDoS Secure provides companies and organizations with web infrastructures of all sizes protection against targeted application-level and wide-scale volumetric attacks.

Application-Level Intelligence: By continually monitoring and logging all inbound and outbound Web traffic using its unique behavioral algorithm, Junos DDoS Secure learns which IP addresses can be trusted. The algorithm is able to detect unusual activity coming from a user and then intelligently respond in real time by dropping suspect or noncompliant traffic as soon as the optimum performance from critical resources begins to degrade.

Further, using advanced dynamic distributed threat intelligence (DDTI) techniques, Junos DDoS Secure also ensures that when a threat is detected at one gateway, within seconds, all the other Junos DDoS Secure appliances on the network are updated with the latest information needed to protect critical resources.

Scalable Deployment: For maximum flexibility of deployment, Junos DDoS Secure is uniquely available to operate in a range of virtualized environments, including VMware and KVM-based systems for private, public or hybrid cloud environments. It is also fully IPv6 compliant. The virtual Junos DDoS Secure offering provides large enterprises the ability to rapidly scale and configure a global defense shield using existing server capacity in regional data centers. It also provides Internet service providers with the ability to easily roll out DDoS mitigation as an additional managed service for customers by leveraging their existing virtual infrastructure.

Availability and Pricing: Junos DDoS Secure is available later this quarter and is offered as both a perpetual and subscription software license. Perpetual license is priced at $18,950 per 1 Gbps and 1 year subscription license at $8,950 for 1Gbps. Software maintenance via the Juniper Care Software Advantage is provided at an additional fee for perpetual licenses. Software maintenance is included in the subscription license fee.

Supporting Quotes
"Enterprises and service providers interested in safeguarding availability would be well served to consider both size and sophistication in architecting a DDoS security strategy. Junos DDoS Secure offers customers a unique, intelligence-based approach to protecting against all types of DDoS attacks, providing next generation security for today's data center."
-David Koretz, vice president and general manager, Counter Security, Juniper Networks

"At Xerox Services, our business relies on delivering consistent and secure access to our clients' websites and services, which makes protecting against the growing threat of DDoS attacks a key priority. With Juniper's Junos DDoS Secure solution, we are able to better protect our clients' websites against both volumetric and targeted application-layer attacks to ensure they are always online and running at maximum efficiency."
- Kevin Taylor, managing director of ITO UK, ACS Information Technologies UK Ltd, A Xerox Company
