Kibo accelerates business-critical applications with Juniper
(Business News, 10 Nov 2006 )
Juniper Networks, in enabling secure and assured communications, announced that the Kibo technology fund, an investment funds company in Korea, has deployed the Juniper Networks WAN optimization platforms to accelerate traffic across its distributed nationwide network. The WX and WXC application acceleration platforms allow Kibo to improve application response times, reduce bandwidth costs and boost productivity across 60 branch offices throughout Korea.
Kibo chose to deploy the Juniper WX 100, WXC 500 and WXC 250 appliances to reduce file sharing protocol inefficiencies, speed up response time for Kibo’s IBM Lotus groupware application, and pave the way for the introduction of VoIP services.
Sa-Ik Song, head of IT operations team at Kibo Technology Fund, said, "The Juniper Networks solution has not only improved application performance, but have actually raised our security posture as well. The accelerated traffic running between our corporate headquarters and our remote and branch offices is compressed and encrypted by the WX and WXC devices, hindering interception attempts and adding to our other protective measures."
