Juniper Networks and Nutanix Partner for Improved Network Automation and Security
October 10 2018 - 6:46AM
Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, and Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a
leader in enterprise cloud computing, today announced new
initiatives under their existing partnership designed to simplify
enterprises’ journey to multicloud architectures, making network
and security act as seamless partners with compute and storage. As
enterprises transition to multicloud environments, they need
simplified and automated network management, as well as integrated
and agile security. To enable this, Juniper Networks and Nutanix
are deepening their collaboration in an effort to provide seamless
integration between virtual and physical networks that is vital to
a multicloud future.
The goal is for Juniper’s Contrail Enterprise Multicloud to
integrate with Nutanix APIs to provide enhanced network visibility
for virtualized workloads, ultimately facilitating automated fabric
management. Additionally, Juniper’s Unified Cybersecurity Platform
together with Nutanix’s software-defined networking offering, Flow,
and AHV hypervisor, intends to secure applications with
microsegmentation in enterprise cloud, as well as provide a
hardened security posture that prevents lateral propagation of
threats. Enterprises will be able to deploy the vSRX integrated
virtual firewall in their Nutanix environment, extending the same
capability across multicloud architectures with a single point of
control using vSRX on-premises and in AWS, Microsoft Azure and
Google Cloud Platform.
Working with Nutanix, Juniper will provide:
- An operationally simplified and scalable network fabric based
on Juniper’s QFX switches for Nutanix Enterprise Cloud users
through the integration of Contrail Enterprise Multicloud with
Nutanix’s APIs.
- Enhanced microsegmentation in enterprises’ cloud architecture,
creating a hardened security posture that prevents lateral
propagation of threats by allowing enterprises to take advantage of
the functionality of both Nutanix Flow and Juniper vSRX.
With Juniper’s Contrail Enterprise Multicloud and Nutanix’s
Enterprise Cloud, enterprises will be able to seamlessly build,
connect, secure and operate multicloud architectures.
