T-Systems in South Asia, a division of Deutsche Telekom's business customer brand T-Systems, is securing managed services for its South Asian customers with Juniper Networks ISG 2000 Integrated Security Gateways.

"The high performance of Juniper Networks' ISG 2000s protects our customer networks without curbing latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP or streaming media," said Thomas Jakob, CEO for T-Systems in the Asia South Region.

T-Systems deployed the Juniper Networks devices in February as part of its network expansion programme for Asia Pacific to protect a range of managed services including enterprise resource planning (ERP) programs and video streaming content.

The company is using the multi-gigabit firewall/VPN/IDP capabilities of the ISG 2000s to offer a more complete converged managed solution, with faster maintenance response time and reduced operational overhead.

Said Jakob, "As the foundation of our secure managed services offering, the ISG 2000s ensure our customers benefit from the advantages of high speed managed services without compromising security. Their ease of management also translates to lower administrative costs and easier product development."
 
Providing multi-gigabit performance, a modular architecture, and rich virtualisation capabilities, the ISG 2000 is ideally suited for securing enterprise, carrier and data centre environments where advanced applications, such as VoIP and streaming media, dictate consistent, scalable performance.

Integrating a best-in-class Deep Inspection firewall, VPN and DoS solutions, the ISG 2000 secures reliable connectivity along with network- and application-level protection for critical, high-traffic network segments.

Additionally, optional IDP functionality further provides zero day protection against worms, trojans, spyware, keyloggers and other malware, detecting and dropping malicious attacks in real-time while minimising the time and expense associated with intrusion recovery.

"The spectrum of services available on the ISG 2000 enables next generation reactive and proactive managed security for mission-critical business applications," said Brad Gray, Vice President of Asia South Pacific for Juniper Networks.
 
"Larger businesses can scale up or quickly add the appropriate security for innovative new applications while sophisticated managed security capabilities can now be extended to small and medium sized business with minimal investment and low ongoing overhead."
