ONStor Fuels Collaboration with Juniper Network’s Secure Networking Solutions

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR) today announced that ONStor, a leader in enterprise network attached storage (NAS) Gateway solutions, has deployed the Juniper Networks SSL VPN and integrated firewall/IPSec VPN appliances for employee and partner access to information resources world-wide. Leveraging the Juniper Networks SSL VPN with Secure Meeting, ONStor is able to deliver cost-effective remote and extranet access as well as online web conferencing for real-time application sharing among employees, partners, and consultants anytime, anywhere from virtually any Web-enabled device. Additionally, ONStor deployed a variety of Juniper Networks integrated firewall/IPSec VPNs for global site-to-site VPN tunneling between its headquarters and international offices.

“With the Juniper Networks IPSec VPN, I can easily add remote sites on a route-based VPN and switch back to a policy-based VPN as needed. I don’t have to worry about the different policies I put in place, I can just lock down access by site and then add only the routes that are necessary,” said Kevin Matthews, manager of Information Services at ONStor. “In addition, our Juniper Networks SSL VPNs are incredibly fast and rock solid. Deploying extranet portals for our partners and vendors as well as remote access for our employees is a breeze; my entire team raves about how great they are.”

The Juniper Networks SSL VPN makes it easy for ONStor to ensure that the different groups of users, such as employees, contractors and customers, have access to only the resources they need; providing open access while delivering tight security. The Juniper Networks SSL VPN also enables ONStor to support remote access on a broad set of desktops and laptops, including Mac, Intel-based Mac, Linux, Windows and new Windows Mobile.

The ability to deliver outstanding customer and partner support is a key competitive differentiator for ONStor. By utilizing the Juniper Networks Secure Meeting application through its Juniper Networks SSL VPNs, ONStor is able to communicate between virtual teams to share information in real time and provide global 24/7 support to customers without additional software deployments.

ONStor utilizes a variety of Juniper Networks firewall/IPSec VPNs to connect its two California offices with satellite locations in the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. ONStor also uses the firewall/IPSec VPNs for data mirroring over IP across multiple locations.

“In today’s distributed enterprise, branch office connectivity along with remote employee and partner access to network resources is critical,” said Sanjay Beri, senior director of Product Management at Juniper Networks. “By leveraging Juniper Networks’ best-in-class IPSec and SSL VPN technologies, ONStor is able to secure its distributed enterprise while gaining the ability to communicate globally and maintain employee access to critical data.”
