Effective planning of next generation network and security architecture is a complex task that is critical to the project’s success. Most organizations have in—depth knowledge of existing operations and technology, but can benefit from help when defining a roadmap for the future and deciding how to incorporate new technology that enables them to achieve their goals. Juniper Professional Services™ can assist you with planning your new or enhanced network and security environments and can provide assistance for associated high and low—level designs. You can also call on Juniper Networks™ partners who are ready to help you with your technical needs. Develop network and security architectures based on industry and Juniper Networks™ best practices. Leverage Juniper knowledge and insight into emerging technologies. Juniper Networks Data Center Security Evaluation Service™ is recommended for large organizations that have a formal security statement (a documented guide that describes the customer’s security posture including rules of engagement, log retention, who has change authorization, problem resolution process, and related topics). Juniper Networks Consulting Services™—as leaders in networks and security, Juniper’s consultants and engineers are uniquely qualified to assist service providers in designing, implementing, and optimizing security solutions.

The Juniper Networks™ team appreciates the complexities and the subtleties inherent in large—scale internetwork design and can assist service providers and enterprises, or provide customized and integrated “turn key” solutions. Anticipated increases in network traffic volume or new business initiatives require evaluation of the potential for the current environment to handle the expected changes and an understanding of the requirement for enhanced security capabilities. The creation of a new security statement demands an audit of existing security capabilities to ensure alignment of the capabilities with the statement, e.g., the security statement is being enhanced to incorporate policies driven by social media. The requirement for different security considerations has evolved since the security policy implementation, e.g., additional user environments area now required. The use of Juniper Networks™ consultants also avoids the requirement for you to have the necessary technical and security audit and evaluation skills in—house. Juniper Networks™ service delivery consultants have in—depth experience in the security field and across products from Juniper Networks™ and other vendors.

Features And Benefits

It is particularly applicable for organizations for whom data center security is essential for continued business operation such as financial services companies and health care organizations. This service helps ensure that the enhanced security policies and security environment are optimized for your business needs. It also mitigates against unnecessary costs associated with security vulnerabilities such as wasted capital expenditures (e.g., wrong number of firewall appliances or incorrect capacity planning resulting in a costly refresh sooner than needed), as well as wasted operational expenditures such as cost of power, cooling, and configuration on unnecessary hardware. In addition to the financial benefits, this service helps ensure greater protection of your property, compliance with government mandated privacy, confidentiality, and financial data regulations, and improved overall security. Once you have defined goals and technology requirements, we will need to develop a detailed design that includes the best use of Juniper Networks™ professional services experts on your design team, potentially using Juniper Networks™ resources to develop the design on your behalf.
