Juniper announces new J-Partner application acceleration specialization

Juniper Networks, Inc announced the new J-Partner Application Acceleration
Specialization (AAS) category for its channel. This latest product
specialization fits into the existing J-Partner channel program infrastructure
and provides new opportunities for partners to deliver the application
acceleration product solutions to their customers.

In addition, this new specialization demonstrates Juniper Networks'
commitment to sustaining partner profitability, allowing partners to add maximum
sales and technical value to these emerging technology solutions for their
customers. With its recent acquisition of Redline Networks and Peribit Networks,
J-Partner resellers now have access to the Juniper Network DX product for data
centre and Wide Area Network (WAN) acceleration.

Furthermore,
Juniper is transitioning the recently acquired companies' channel into the
J-Partner Program to maintain consistency and overall customer satisfaction.
J-Partners who specialize in application acceleration will be able to deliver
higher value to customers by addressing critical business challenges associated
with webifying business applications, centralizing servers, consolidating data
centers and achieving regulatory compliance.

"We already have over 100 partners in Asia Pacific focused on the new
application acceleration category," said Gary Kinsley, VP-Channels for Asia
Pacific, Juniper Networks. "Our goal, in designing the J-Partner channel
program was to be able to grow the channel through specialization and
certifications. This new J-Partner category allows existing J-Partners to
leverage Juniper Networks' new application acceleration training and
certification to drive incremental revenue and enable them to address their
customers' data center and performance critical issues.
