Juniper Networks Total Cost of Ownership
Our comprehensive security solutions enable you to
effectively protect your network with easy to
deploy, configure and manage devices that lower your
total cost of ownership (TCO). We are able to reduce
the time and resources you need to manage your
network security, with our centralized management
approach and intuitive user interface. Our solutions
are built from the ground up to meet the varied
networking and security requirements for each and
every network segment. As a result, we can offer you
a complete solution, which means you can simplify
your network deployments and reduce your support and
operational costs.
Your organization must consider the TCO when
comparing security solutions. Since the initial
investment that you make in security typically
represents only 20%-40% of the total cost, it is
important to understand what your solution will
require in terms of support, deployment and ongoing
operations. By considering a security solution’s
TCO, you are able to make investment decisions that
achieve the highest returns.
In addition, when the TCO for security solutions is
lowered, your organization is no longer forced to
compromise security due to costs, allowing security
to be deployed in other areas, without a dramatic
increase in expenditures. For instance, Juniper
Networks security solutions can build new layers of
security into critical networks to protect internal
network segments, provide security to wireless LANs
or secure remote offices with Deep Inspection.
Moreover, by freeing up IT security personnel from
ongoing maintenance tasks associated with competing
security solutions, your organization can dedicate
valuable IT resources to other business critical
tasks. The Giga Group recently came out with a
report detailing the TCO advantages of Juniper
Networks solutions and how their deployment in the
network is not just a good security investment but a
good overall investment in your network.
Juniper Networks
offers unique advantages that lower each cost area:
|
Equipment
Cost |
-
We use a
simple licensing scheme that is mainly
device-based. Competing products offer
complicated software licenses that
charge per user / IP address and per
module, significantly increasing the
cost of a fully configured system.
-
Our
centralized management for our firewall
and VPN solutions directly reduces the
acquisition cost when compared with
competing solutions that use multiple
management consoles.
-
We enable
your organization to deploy the right
products that match your network
requirements with our broad product line
that offers predictable performance.
-
Our
solutions reduce the number of devices
required to provide complete security
and allow for device consolidation due
to Juniper Networks fully integrated
security applications and flexible
deployment.

|
|
Support
Cost |
-
Our lower equipment cost
directly translates to lower
support cost.
-
We
offer comprehensive support
packages to satisfy all your
support requirements at a much
lower cost than competitive
products.
-
With our firewall and VPN
products, you only buy support
for one management console
|
|
|
|
Deployment
Cost |
-
Our integrated functionality,
performance and flexibility
enables you to install fewer
devices, which directly
translates into lower deployment
costs.
-
Our ease of use reduces the
installation and configuration
time.
-
With the integrated security
specific OS for our firewalls
and VPNs, there is no need to
install a separate, general
purpose OS and associated
software patches.
-
Our firewall and VPN
platform—hardware, operating
system and applications requires
a single centralized management
console for configuration,
deployment, management, and
reporting.
|
|
|
|
Operation
Cost |
-
With our integrated,
purpose-built solutions, you
spend less time and resources
installing and testing patches
from different vendors.
-
Our easy to use management
console and advanced debugging
options reduce the amount of IT
resources dedicated to
implementing configuration
changes and troubleshooting.
-
Our tightly integrated security
specific OS and integrated
security applications reduce the
time spent patching the
vulnerabilities found in general
purpose operating systems.
|
|
|
Our
solutions provide a lower TCO than competing
options. Our TCO advantage enables companies to
improve their security, by deploying affordable
security solutions in more areas and for more
applications. Simply put, we improve the overall
security, while reducing the total cost of security.
