Sify, Juniper powered managed security services

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Juniper Networks and Sify Technologies has announced the launch of enhanced managed security services for small to large Indian enterprises, using Juniper’s market leading Adaptive Threat Management Solutions.

Sify will launch these enhanced services with a single point of service deployment, management and control. The company also plans other managed services, such as for WAN optimization and Application Acceleration, based on Juniper's best-in-class solutions, in the near future.

The partnership will enable Sify to offer a full suite of premium services using Juniper Networks technology and expertise for competitive differentiation and further its leadership and strategic standing with enterprise customers in India.

P.J. Nath, Executive President, Sify Enterprise Solutions, said, “We launched our end-to-end managed security services with a state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre in Bangalore in January this year. The launch of these services made us even more competitive in managed services with our range of enterprise service offerings across connectivity, hosting, applications and security enhanced by their addition.

The partnership with Juniper Networks is an extension of this strategy to position Sify as the most comprehensive managed services player in India for the enterprise segment. Juniper’s technology and expertise, combined with our infrastructure management capabilities and expertise, offer a winning combination in managed security services in India.”

Nagendra Venkaswamy, Managing Director, India & SAARC, Juniper Networks, said, “Many enterprises are choosing to protect their network assets against the ongoing proliferation of complex threats by purchasing cost-effective and easy-to-use managed security services. Managed security services are therefore one of the fastest growing services in India with a market size of about Rs 181 Cores last year.

However, the reliability, performance and effectiveness of the underlying security technologies can make or break these services. Sify's decision to enhance its managed services future with Juniper's market leading platforms is a testament to our position as a provider of best-in-class security solutions.”

Juniper Network’s Adaptive Threat Management Solutions can significantly reduce threats and risks faced by global enterprises. Juniper Networks security solutions identify, mitigate, and report on the most complex security attacks in real time. At the same time, they support compliance requirements, and reduce management overhead so that IT departments can allocate resources to other initiatives.
