GITEX 2016 SPECIAL JUNIPER NETWORKS At this year’s event, Juniper will showcase its joint solutions with partners Beta IT and Fireware, exhibiting data centre and security products, respectively. Live presentations will be taking place every three-four hours in Juniper’s booth. A10 NETWORKS A10 Networks will showcase the company’s A10 Harmony solution architecture. The solution promises to empower businesses to deliver secure application services across traditional data centres, private, public and hybrid clouds, helping them become more secure, responsive and operationally agile as they bridge traditional and cloud-based application environments. Henk Jan Spanjaard, Vice President of EMEA Sales at A10 Networks says, “A10 Harmony was an architecture introduced in early 2015 that lays the foundation of a rapid services integration platform for enterprise, cloud, and service provider networks. With A10 Harmony, developers can integrate intelligent application networking services more easily with high-performance A10 Thunder Series Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs).” A10 Harmony solutions include a cloud services controller for centralized application policy management and orchestration, elastic application traffic management capabilities integrated with DevOps processes, deep per-application visibility and analytics, and support for microservices and containerbased applications. The vendor will also demonstrate its new security offerings with Sky Advanced Threat Prevention, a cloud-based service that delivers a dynamic anti-malware solution and is integrated with the SRX Series Firewalls. Visitors to GITEX will also have the opportunity to see demonstrations of Juniper’s Security Director, which is a scalable and responsive network security management application. Furthermore, as service providers and enterprises across all industries continue to seek competitive advantages, the reliance on the data center has never been greater. Juniper Networks QFX Series meets these expectations by delivering highperformance, high-density platforms that satisfy the needs of today’s sophisticated enterprise and service provider environments. QFX switches provide the universal building blocks for multiple data centRE fabric architectures, and enable interoperability and easy integration, providing a robust foundation for the most demanding business needs. This solution will also be on show in Juniper’s booth during GITEX. “The Middle East has increasingly become information-driven and connected, resulting in even more demanding and immediate user expectations. There is an urgent need for businesses to transform their network infrastructure to remain competitive,” said Samer Kudsi, Enterprise Sales Director MENA, Juniper Networks. Location: Hall 6 A10 Networks will also demonstrate its range of security solutions, including DDoS protection, SSL Inspection, Data Centre Firewall, Gi/SGi Firewall, Secure Web Gateway, Web Application Firewall and DNS Application Firewall. The company recently signed a technology partnership with Cylance, a company that is tackling cyber security through the use of artificial intelligence to prevent advanced persistent threats and malware.
