Juniper Networks Expands Collaboration with IBM to Bring Intelligent Automation to Radio Network Solutions

Juniper Networks Expands Collaboration with IBM to Bring Intelligent Automation to Radio Network Solutions

Collaboration will explore new solutions to democratize radio networks and   enable exceptional mobile user experiences

Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced that the company plans to expand its collaboration with IBM to pursue the integration of IBM's network automation capabilities with Juniper's Radio Access Network (RAN) optimization and Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) technology. The planned collaboration will seek to deliver a unified RAN management platform that will be designed to use intelligent automation to better enable communications service providers (CSPs) to monetize, optimize and scale their investments in next-generation networks and provide better experiences to mobile users.

As CSPs around the globe continue to deploy their 5G and next generation networks, they are looking to RAN intelligence and automation solutions to help them more effectively monetize and optimize their investments in next-generation networks. RAN technology becomes increasingly important to help connect the vastly growing number of devices by using non-proprietary subcomponents while increasing vendor diversity and avoiding lock-in. CSPs are looking for solutions and partners who can help them through the journey of a complete RAN transformation to meet these demands.

The companies intend that this new agreement will build on the existing collaboration between Juniper Networks and IBM . The two companies will look to integrate Juniper's RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) with IBM Cloud Pak® for Network Automation with the intention of creating a fully integrated and automated O-RAN and RAN solution. The goal of this solution will be to offer end-to-end automation of secured 5G network slices, from provisioning through validation and deployment, monitoring and assurance of SLAs during run-time, through the integration of Juniper's RIC and Slice-aware use case capabilities with IBM Cloud Pak® for Network Automation 's policy engines.

"We see CSPs rapidly turning to cloud and intelligent automation technology as they look to build more open and scalable next-generation networks and provide their customers with better end-user experiences. We are driving innovation with partners like Juniper Networks where the value of Cloud Pak® for Network Automation can bring extensive solution value to our joint clients who need disaggregated, multi-vendor and economically-viable radio networks."

- Andrew Coward, General Manager, Software-Defined Networking, IBM

"O-RAN is enabling a shift to an open, intelligent and programmable environment that can open up a new vista on the full potential of mobile services, driving innovative applications that make new revenue streams possible for service providers globally. To realize this potential, Juniper's RIC has been architected as an open and interoperable platform to support easy integration with RAN automation solutions. Coupling it with IBM's Cloud Pak® for Network Automation software has the potential to unlock new monetization opportunities for operators."

- Constantine Polychronopoulos, Group Vice President, 5G & Cloud Networking, Juniper Networks

Juniper Networks Addresses Security Personnel Shortage with Industry-First Security Automation Capabilities and New On-Premises Malware Detection Appliance

Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) has announced advancements to its leading cybersecurity platform to help security teams save time and simplify operations and speed time to remediation.
As quoted in the press release:

Targeted attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and organizations of all sizes are now challenged by cybersecurity risks across diverse locations, clouds and functions. The resulting “always on” nature of cybercrime puts strain on understaffed security teams that are already bogged down by manual processes and complex policies, as revealed in a recent study from Juniper Networks and Vanson Bourne. The impacts are delayed understanding of threats and slower time to remediation. Automation and machine learning can help shorten the time requirements of repetitive tasks and augment human involvement, however, a majority of respondents in a recent survey from Juniper Networks and Ponemon Institute felt that cyber automation will never fully replace human involvement and expertise.
These factors have led to an increased need for simplicity and speed. To address this urgency, Juniper Networks today revealed new advancements to its cybersecurity platform that will deliver simplified operations with policy management efficiencies, on-premises malware defense with threat behavior analytics and one-touch mitigation and adaptive enforcement across diverse environments. These additions will improve the way security professionals interact with their systems and save time through automation while still maintaining human control.
Juniper’s newly announced advancements in cybersecurity, combined with the automation, machine learning and real-time intelligence features of its unified Software-Defined Secure Networks (SDSN) platform, will help organizations protect themselves by staying ahead of threats and minimizing the cost of a breach.

Juniper Networks Introduces Contrail Security to Help Enterprises Protect Applications in Any Cloud

Juniper Networks ( NYSE:JNPR) has announced Juniper Contrail Security, a new security and microsegmentation solution designed to allow enterprises and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud providers to protect applications running in various cloud environments.
As quoted in the press release:

Organizations are building and deploying cloud-native applications across public and private clouds to realize the benefits of scale, flexibility and agility. As these applications scale, their components are distributed across multiple heterogeneous clouds, which can also inadvertently distribute vulnerabilities and increase the risk of a business-impacting security breach. To further complicate matters, the perimeter of cloud environments is blurred, rendering perimeter-based policies ineffective in preventing the lateral spread of threats and creating the need for agile enforcement points that require up-to-date policies. Security administrators are also burdened with having to manually create and manage myriad security policies across multiple environments and do not have clear visibility into how applications interact with each other. These conditions can lead to applications running in opaque environments with ineffective security and limited scalability.
Contrail Security enables an innovative response to the heightened risk brought about by today’s cloud workloads and applications. Practitioners will have visibility and control with simplified operations driven by consistent, intent-driven security policies that seamlessly interoperate with existing security controls and virtual environments. With Contrail Security, Juniper Networks is transforming the way enterprises and SaaS cloud providers protect, manage and monitor their cloud-native applications in heterogeneous environments. Contrail Security combined with the automated threat detection and enforcement of Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Networks platform will further fuel the expansion of a truly unified cybersecurity platform, able to adaptively respond to any threat.
