Turkish Bank Creates 77 Node Distributed Enterprise Network to Improve Customer Satisfaction While Lowering Total Cost of Ownership by Up to 55 Percent in Annual Capital Expenditures

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR), the leader in high-performance networking, today announced that Anadolubank, one of the leading Turkish banks, deployed Juniper’s application acceleration, routing and security technologies to create a fast, reliable and secure distributed enterprise network infrastructure for its headquarters and 77 branches. The deployment reduces total cost of ownership by 55 percent in annual capital expenditures, improving staff productivity and streamlining and integrating infrastructure. The solution also enhances the customer experience as a result of faster response times, richer services and improved security.

“Anadolubank’s target is to meet dynamic requirements and deliver tailor made solutions to its commercial and retail banking customers, such as assuring spare bandwidth to approve a customer credit line, conducting remote interviews with customers or delivering marketing forms,” said Tunc Bergsan, vice president of IT Infrastructure, Anadolubank. “Juniper’s application acceleration products enable us to expedite our key applications while a flexible, no compromise network security deployment helps us to ensure data security between our branches. Additionally, Juniper’s networking technology will help us to differentiate ourselves through innovation and product development while reducing our operational costs.”

The Juniper Networks WXC Application Acceleration Platforms were deployed to accelerate the performance of its core banking and branch operations, financial reporting, remote support applications and content delivery to its distributed enterprise. The Juniper Networks SSG Series Secure Services Gateways deliver sophisticated, low latency protection throughout branch locations to meet the bank’s compliance requirements. The Juniper Networks M Series Multiservice Edge Routers were deployed to improve Anadolubank’s network performance and reliability.

“Innovative, dynamic financial organizations such as Anadolubank rely on the quality of network-based services to build customer loyalty and continue rapid growth,” said Gert-Jan Schenk, senior vice president of Operations, EMEA, Juniper Networks. “Juniper’s high-performance networking technologies enable Anadolubank to maximize its value to customers while controlling costs.”

The Juniper Networks WXC Series provides the bank’s geographically distributed locations with a scalable approach to accelerate the delivery of Web-based and Client server business applications and services over the WAN. The WXC accelerates mission critical business functions to maximize Anadolubank’s WAN investments and improve its application response times for branch office users. In addition, the WXC platform delivers the required compression and acceleration through its active/active leased line and G.SHDSL network to deploy new services and improve business productivity. Anadolubank reached average 2.1x WAN capacity growth with the deployment of WXC Series.

Juniper’s SSG purpose-built high performance security appliances were deployed to stop internal and external attacks and prevent unauthorized access. Anadolubank’s internal branch office resources are secured with unique policies applied to each security zone to protect a wide range of network attacks such as viruses, trojans, worms and spyware.

Anadolubank also deployed the M Series Multiservice Edge Routers to enable consistent, secure and high-performance IP WAN connectivity, Internet access and rich services for its head office and branches by consolidating multiple services onto a single IP/MPLS network. Juniper’s M Series supports the most advanced routing features and delivers exceptional flexibility and reliability over a wide range of connectivity options.
