SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Juniper Networks, Inc.

"Juniper Networks products enabled us to cost effectively extend the network to our remote users by providing a seamless and secure access to network resources, anytime, from anywhere without the overhead associated with the installation and support of specialized client software," said Fouad Yatim, director network services group, Suffolk University.

Juniper Networks' NetScreen Secure Access 3000 SSL VPN platform is being used by faculty and staff to provide secure access to email, the campus directory and to provide emergency messaging to faculty and staff such as snowstorms that affect the campus.
