Global provider of advanced communications and IT solutions Verizon Business has selected Juniper Networks’ WXC platform, a highly scalable WAN acceleration solution, for a new Managed WAN Optimization Service. Juniper Networks is a global supplier of high-performance networking infrastructure.

“We chose Juniper Networks high-performance WXC platform for our Managed WAN Optimization Service because it enhances application visibility and improves application response time and WAN efficiency,” said Michael Marcellin, vice president of product marketing at Verizon Business. “Their platform offers significant scalability which is enabling us to meet the needs of our multinational customers.”

Juniper’s high-performance WXC platform enables Verizon Business’ professional services staff to fine-tune network performance to improve application delivery and reduce bottlenecks. Verizon’s new Managed WAN Optimization Service, which relies on Juniper’s WXC platform, can help distributed enterprises to accelerate application delivery over the WAN, leverage WAN investments and boost user productivity.

The WXC platform improves application performance over the WAN by recognising and eliminating redundant transmissions; accelerating TCP and application-specific protocols; prioritising and allocating access to bandwidth; and ensuring high application availability at sites with multiple WAN links.

The WXC application acceleration platforms work end-to-end with a multitude of applications, including Web-based, client-server, custom software, voice and video. The platforms also include a broad set of management tools for monitoring and reporting on WAN and application performance.
