Juniper (JNPR) is kicking off an initiative that combines upgrades to its Junos Pulse remote access and network access control (NAC) solutions with new alliances with MDM enterprise providers AirWatch and MobileIron.
The idea, Juniper said, is to enable enterprises and service providers to simplify and better secure their BYOD blueprints by levering the Junos Pulse Secure Access Service and Junos Pulse Access Control Service solutions with providers of MDM and other mobile security platforms. AirWatch and MobileIron are the first Juniper partners in the initiative and others are invited to participate.
Juniper said IT organizations and service providers will benefit from this initiative, which will leverage mobile device attributes such as device location, device status and compliance across both Juniper solutions. The integration will help organizations consolidate policy management views into common dashboards, simplify operations and improve policies, it added.
As for upgrades, both Junos Pulse Access Control Service v5.0 and Junos Pulse Secure Access Service 8.0 Release support KVM-based virtual deployments in addition to VMware (VMW), which expands the range of IT environments in which the NAC and remote access solutions work.
And, Junos Pulse now supports Apple’s (AAPL) OS X Mavericks and iOS 7, Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT, with both Windows versions baking in Junos Pulse client connectivity.
