Telecom network operator Telefonica has deployed Juniper Networks solutions to augment its network security.
Juniper Networks said its SRX Series Services Gateways will assist Telefonica, which has more than 347 million customers worldwide, to performance, scalability and software defined security services.
Juniper will provide professional services to increase overall network stability for enhanced business operations.
The cloud-based network architecture with integrated security functions will allow Telefonica to scale, automate and simplify its business operations, and improve network performance while future-proofing to enable a software defined secure network (SDSN). SDSN allows Telefonica to detect security issues and enforce mitigating policy anywhere in the network.
SRX Series Services Gateways set new benchmarks with 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interfaces and Juniper Networks’ Express Pathtechnology, which enables up to two terabytes per second (Tbps) performance.
“We are making advancements towards our goal to secure, simplify and modernize our network to offer differentiated services that greatly enhance the customer experience,” said Javier Gavilan, Planning and Technology Director, Global CTO, Telefonica.
