Junos Pulse Application Acceleration Service delivers accelerated secure remote network access. With the Junos Pulse Application Acceleration Service, enterprises can now enable cost-effective, dynamic, pervasive application acceleration in concert with secure, remote network access that is location-agnostic via the Junos Pulse Secure Access Service. Employees who travel or work outside a branch or head office can be assured of secure, accelerated, remote network access for even their most cumbersome, data-laden applications in real time.

Remote and mobile network users, teleworkers, home offices and small branch offices need fast response times for critical applications. The Junos Pulse Application Acceleration Service provides an affordable mobile network solution that is easy to use and cost effective, enhancing usability and productivity. External contractors and partners who need network access to the enterprise extranet are also assured fast, reliable, and secure remote connectivity to enterprise applications, enhancing collaboration.

The Junos Pulse Application Acceleration Service works by detecting and establishing communication with a MAG Series Junos Pulse Gateway (or WXC Series Application Acceleration Platform) located in the corporate data center. Once established, the connection optimizes application traffic using advanced compression and protocol acceleration techniques.

The MAG Series gateway monitors and manages remote and mobile Junos Pulse clients distributed across the enterprise on Microsoft Windows-based laptops and PCs. There is no additional hardware or software needed to manage Junos Pulse Application Acceleration Service licensing, as this is managed in the MAG Series gateway. The Junos Pulse Application Acceleration Service can be deployed in concert with the Junos Pulse Secure Access Service, which provides Juniper Networks’ industry-leading SSL VPN capabilities to deliver accelerated, secure remote access. End users are not required to make any changes to their Microsoft Windows environment or processes, and can continue working as before while enjoying much faster access to applications.
