Juniper Networks Acquires Altor Networks

Juniper Networks will integrate Altor Networks products with our industry-leading SRX Series platform, delivering the only integrated solution that provides security at scale for both physical and virtual systems.

Enterprises and service providers are looking to extend virtualization further into their infrastructure to achieve the full economic benefits of server virtualization. But these virtualization technologies can also increase exposure to security risks.

Altor Networks delivers a comprehensive set of features for securing virtualized datacenters. The Juniper Networks SRX Series, when coupled with the Altor solution, will enable our customers to deploy a consistent set of security policies and services including firewalling, intrusion detection, and network visibility throughout their entire infrastructure. As a result, customers will realize the full value of virtualization while protecting against the associated security risks.

Delivering End-to-End Security

The acquisition of Altor Networks enhances Juniper's solution for the virtualization security market. As we integrate this technology with our SRX Series Services Gateways, Juniper Networks will be the only vendor in the market with an integrated solution for securing both the physical and virtual world. This integration will further realize our vision of delivering end-to-end security services at scale across the device, network, application, and hypervisor.
