- Is a value-added services platform for service providers.
Juniper Global Threat Center
The Juniper Global Threat Center provides around-the-clock, global monitoring of mobile security threats to consumers and enterprises. It is the first and only center dedicated to tracking, responding to, and researching, threats to mobile devices, including viruses, spyware and other security vulnerabilities that can expose a user's personal, professional and sensitive information.The research conducted by the Juniper Global Threat Center is shared with the public and private industry, as well as incorporated into the features and functionality of new and existing products, such as the recently announced Junos® Pulse Mobile Security Suite. The Juniper Global Threat Center's primary focus is to monitor and respond to five key types of threats and vulnerabilities:
- Malware: Viruses, Worms, Trojans, Spyware
- Direct Attack: Attacking device interfaces, browser exploits, SMS attacks
- Physical Compromise: Accessing a device and its data by having physical access from loss or theft
- Data Communication Interception: Intercepting data as it is transmitted and received
- Exploitation and Misconduct: Inappropriate communications, data leakage, online predators, bullying, sexting
Cited from NSN people blog, new iPhone OS, iOS 4.2, tests by Nokia Siemens Networks have shown that iPhone iOs 4.2 support a technology called Network Controlled Fast Dormancy, which have already introduced into NSN networks. This will cut smartphone signalling down to size. Basically, the technology makes the network and the handset work together to create the best conditions for smartphones to work quickly, yet have a long battery life and minimize network congestion.
Smartphones connect constantly to the network, often driven by applications. But this creates a huge amount of signalling as smartphones switch from an idle mode to an active state so that they can interact with the network, for example to get emails or pull in the latest tweets.
When it has gathered the information it needs, usually working in the background so you don’t even notice it’s happening, some smartphones then switch immediately into the idle state in order to conserve battery power. So when you next want some data from the network, the smartphone has to reconnect. This involves the network and phone exchanging many small signals.
All this disconnecting and reconnecting takes time and can cause a frustratingly slow network response. On the other hand, leaving the smartphone in an active mode all the time drains the battery very quickly.
To overcome the problem Nokia Siemens Networks introduced a method that, instead of putting the handset into idle or keeping it always active, keeps the handset in an intermediate state. From here, a smartphone can wake up much more quickly and needs to send far fewer signals to and from the network to start a data connection. You get a fast network response and a longer battery life.
The new Apple software release supports this way of working on networks that have the technology implemented. Nokia also implemented the technology in its smartphones earlier this year. So now the two handset makers that account for half of all new smartphones in the world contribute to an improved user experience and cost reduction for operators.
One Middle Eastern operator, for instance, found that smartphones on a Nokia Siemens Networks network had a battery life of 11 hours compared to six hours on a competing network. Meanwhile, testing in North America found that our smart networks generate up to 50 percent less smartphone signalling. As more operators and handset OSs incorporate technologies that improve smartphone performance, our smart networks will play an increasingly important role in making your smartphone experience simply more enjoyable.

IT is important thing in business today. Many company have IT consolidated or centralized, meaning that application or data center is centralized at head quarter or centralized data center. This scenario include file server consolidation, email consolidation, and application consolidation. File server consolidation reduces complexity, increases efficiency, and reduces risk. Email consolidation simplifies management and upgrades matter.
In other side, reliable connection is important in order to run the applications smoothly, and this can impact the business too. This can be achieve with more bandwidth, but sometimes condition is more complex than bandwidth matter. For example, one application has different nature than other. For example, some application is delay sensitive, while another application hungry of bandwidth. One application is critical and important for business, and another is not.
WAN Optimization helps to overcome this. Several techniques are used to achieve this. WAN Optimization combine these techniques :
1. Data reduction, combine techniques to reduce data across WAN. These techniques usually is used :
- Data compression
- Caching
2. Latency mitigation, improve network delay to increase performance application. Example of these are TCP and CIFS acceleration, application specific acceleration, like SQL, and HTTP acceleration.
3. Bandwidth management and Qos, critical and sensitive application still have bandwidth even in congested link.
Several vendor have WAN Optimization product with variation techniques, basically they use techniques describe above. Example of WAN Optimization vendors in the market are BlueCoat, Riverbed, Expand, Juniper, and Cisco.
When you plan to use WAN Optimization, the criteria that you need to consider are performance, price, and licensing scheme to save your investation, and better TCO. In WAN Optimization, tipically vendor use complex licensing scheme, include bandiwidth license, application license, and amount of class in QoS. Foer example, when you choose some product, you need to know their bandwidth license, so that when you upgrade the bandwidth, no need to buy new box. Other consideration example, if you have file server, or often transfer amount of file acrros WAN, or send reporting file from branch to head quarter, you consider the box that have CIFS caching feature. QoS is the one thing that you need, because many application, need more bandwidth, with QoS you can prioritizing application.
You may collect information about application need, bandwidth, future development, before decide to buy your WAN Optimization box.
