This from a recent press release:
SUNNYVALE, CA, Aug 04, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Juniper Networks(R) (JNPR 28.31, -0.17, -0.60%) today announced that several of its routing, switching and circuit-to-packet solutions have been tested and certified by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) for interoperability with Defense Department networks and have been added to the Unified Capabilities Approved Product List.
Newly certified by JITC are Juniper Networks EX3200 and EX4200 Ethernet Switches; MX240, MX480 and MX960 Universal Edge Routers; and the CTP 1000 and 2000 Series circuit-to-packet solutions that enable Voice and Video over IP (VoIP) advances in voice and data networks. The EX Series and MX Series products are now certified as Assured Services Local Area Networks (ASLAN) devices; the MX Series is the industry’s first edge router to pass the new DISA MPLS ASLAN requirements.
These new certifications follow other recently announced JITC certifications of Juniper Networks SA Series SSL VPN solutions for interoperability with Defense Department Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) requirements.
By our count, that makes a majority of Juniper’s current/modern equipment certified by the U.S. Defense Department. The JTIC testing focuses on security and open standards based interoperability, so they are definitely worth paying attention to. The (not entirely current) approved products list (APL) can be accessed here: http://jitc.fhu.disa.mil/apl/. It’s worth noting that in the “Routers/IP Switches” category, Juniper outnumbers Cisco in approved devices 5 to 1!
