* Virtualized Security Services: New enhancements to the industry's most scalable set of security services, available on Juniper's SRX Series, that provide application-aware and identity-aware policy enforcement for cloud services:
o AppSecure: A new suite of tools designed to provide visibility and control over access to applications running in cloud-ready data centers, including an AppDOS service that protects cloud users from the growing threat of botnet-based denial-of-service attacks;
o Coordinated Threat Control: Integrates user identity and knowledge of the application into security policies, enabling more granular control over application flows in the cloud;
o Virtual Server Security: Sets policies across virtual and physical machines across the network, through a partnership with Altor Networks, whose product integrates with Juniper's SRX Series, Juniper's Network and Security Manager (NSM) and Juniper's Security Threat Response Manager (STRM);
o More Sessions: Support for 10 million concurrent sessions on the SRX 5800 - 2.5 times more than last year;
o Doubling Density: Double the 10GbE density and connection capacity; and
o In-Service Software Upgrades: Easy upgrades that minimize downtime of cloud infrastructure and enhance reliability of cloud services.
* Virtual Desktop Infrastructure: New support for Citrix and VMware VDI, available on Juniper's SA Series Appliances, providing cloud users with seamless single-sign-on access to virtual desktops via SSL VPN.
* MX 3D routers with 3D Scaling: New products that will deliver two to four times the capacity of competitorsiv while enabling dynamic control, open application platforms and revolutionary economics for delivering cloud services at massive scale.
* Junos Space network application platform: New software that enables developers to simplify network operations, automate support and accelerate service delivery.
* Junos Pulse integrated network client: New unified client that will provide location-aware, identity-aware and device-verified access to cloud services, mitigating security threats and improving the user experience on PCs and mobile phones.
"Comprehensive network security is a fundamental requirement for both public and private cloud computing," said Jon Oltsik, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "To unleash the power of the cloud, large organizations need a rich, flexible, and elastic set of network security services delivered at scale. Given Juniper's performance and security strengths, the company is well positioned to help accelerate the transformation and unleash the potential of cloud computing."
Today's new products and solutions will help customers build cloud-ready data centers that position them to take advantage of Juniper's previously disclosed Stratus Project to simplify data center architectures. Through Stratus, Juniper is developing a single data center fabric that will yield a quantum leap in scale, performance and simplicity for data center networks, with the flexibility to support fully converged and virtualized data center environments. Stratus will pave the way to large consolidated data centers that harness "one logical switch" to dynamically allocate any network resource, including routing and security services, storage, servers and other appliances.

Bob Friday, Chief AI Officer for Juniper Networks, explains how the advanced technology is transforming operations.
Contact center leaders from 8x8, Awaken Intelligence, and 360insight discuss the importance of agent experience.
AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
