New Juniper Apps To Enhance Service Delivery Over IP Networks

Juniper Networks has introduced a series of new applications and services that will enable customers to deliver voice, video and other multimedia services with better efficiency and increased scale and reliability. Building on the Intelligent Services Edge portfolio, these new features simplify networks and facilitate convergence for enterprises, government agencies and service providers by integrating key service delivery and performance assurance functions directly within the routing platforms and IP network infrastructure. Additionally, Juniper is delivering hardware and software features that reduce costs by enabling customers to leverage investments in legacy voice and data networking equipment while they migrate to next-generation IP transport networks and services.

Enhancing Security

Juniper has announced an Integrated Multiservice Gateway (IMSG) solution. The IMSG solution integrates standards-based session border control (SBC) signaling and media gateway functions with routing and security features that include intrusion prevention software, IPsec and firewall services.

By integrating these features into a cohesive service chain that runs on Juniper’s Multiservices cards for the M and MX Series, Juniper customers will be able to avoid the complexity associated with deploying multiple, service-specific appliances to perform each of these functions.

Easing Migration

For enterprises, government organizations and service providers, who have an installed base of legacy voice infrastructure and time-division multiplexed (TDM) circuit-based networking equipment, Juniper is delivering hardware and software features for the CTP Series (for Circuit-to-Packet), BX Series Multi-Access Gateways, and M Series Multiservice Edge Routers that can ease the transition to next-generation IP infrastructure, while making maximum use of prior product investments.

The BX Series and Circuit Emulation Physical Interface Cards (PICs) for the M Series provide reliable transport of TDM and voice traffic over an IP/ MPLS network. New Voice Modules and software updates for the CTP Series provide analog voice, voice compression and echo cancellation support, which enable customers to transport analog voice, serial data, and TDM-based services over an IP/ MPLS network.

Performance Assurance

Juniper has also introduced Telchemy embedded Performance Monitor (TePM), a router-integrated IP performance management application that facilitates service-level monitoring and troubleshooting for a broad collection of IP services. TePM provides active network, session and application layer monitoring for a wide variety of IP voice and data services from within the routing infrastructure.
