CNX ANIXTER

Juniper Networks, Anixter’s strategic partner, presents a new product line that aims at offering a simpler way to stay connected. It’s the “Simply Connected” solution, a concept based on user-centric security and management independent of mobile device brand or type. In addition, it gives the opportunity to re-architect and reduce the network’s footprint in facilities where access to the combination of wired and wireless networks is changing.
To re-architect the wired network for the next decade, Juniper  Networks® EX Series Ethernet switches include the Virtual Chassis fabric technology on more platforms to enable multiple interconnected switches to operate as a single, logical device, simplifying the campus wired network and resulting in fewer devices and wires to manage. Juniper WL family of WLAN controllers, APs and management tools help deliver pervasive wireless access to all campus and branch users with the same level of reliability and control that they expect from the wired network.
Juniper Networks SRX Series Service Gateways ensure secure device-agnostic connections. SRX branch gateways combine high port density, advanced security, and flexible connectivity into a single, easily managed platform that supports fast, secure, and highly-available campus and branch operations. In addition to these advantages, Junos® Pulse enables user device freedom with IT self service in order to secure, manage, and enforce policy across a wide range of popular devices.
“Legacy campus and branch networks are now under a growing strain from the increased number of wireless devices entering the enterprise" said Rohit Mehra, Director of Enterprise Communications Infrastructure at IDC. "Juniper's Simply Connected approach helps customers simplify their network infrastructure to meet this new demand”.
Alex Gray, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Campus and Branch Business Unit, Juniper Networks, said that “it should be simple for individuals to choose and change their devices, simple to securely access their business applications, and easy for the IT department to provision one policy per user that works across multiple devices, from tablets to smart phones to PCs”.
