firewalls that may be installed on the end user’s machine. The WX Client improves
application performance over the WAN by recognizing and eliminating redundant
transmissions, and accelerating TCP and application-specific protocols.
The WX Client is unique in the industry because of its integration with Juniper Networks
SA Series SSL VPN Appliances. A key challenge for IT administrators in deploying software
on hundreds or thousands of end user machines is managing the distribution of the
software and maintaining software version control. Juniper solves this by integrating the
WX Client with the SA Series; when a user connects to their
SA Series appliance, the WX Client is auto-installed on the end user’s machine and for
all subsequent SA Series sessions, a check is performed by the SA Series appliance
to determine if the WX Client software and configuration version is current. Also most
software clients must be manually started to accelerate traffic, which in turn requires that
the end user remembers to start their software client when they are remote. Juniper solves
this in its integrated solution with a WX Client that can be automatically started once the
end user’s SA Series connection is established.
Combining the WX Client with SA Series products provides automated download and
WX Client management via a feature rich authentication and policy platform, providing IT
administrators with a simple way to ensure that all remote end user traffic is both secure
and accelerated.
Integration Advantages
Through the integration of advanced capabilities in the WXC Series, IT can proceed
with server centralization and data center consolidation initiatives to simplify network
architecture and reduce capital outlays. WXC Series platform deployment is completely
automated, so no IT expertise is required at the branch office when a new platform is
installed. Local users simply power the device and connect it to the network; the platform
takes it from there, downloading and installing the necessary configuration data from a
WX Central Management System (WX CMS) server at the central location.
Finally, because the WCX Series platforms are deployed symmetrically, with one at each
end of the wide area link, they are in a perfect position to monitor and assess exactly how
applications are performing over the WAN. IT managers gain full visibility into WAN links
between the data center and branch offices; in some cases, the IT staff can take advantage
of monitoring functions at the branch office that would be otherwise unavailable.
