Web Hosting Wire – ROUND ROCK, Texas and SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Dell and Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR) today announced an agreement to offer networking solutions under Dell’s PowerConnect brand that enable customers to deploy a common network management platform and network operating system to help reduce operating expenses. In addition, the companies plan to work together on open, standards-based solutions for virtualized data centers and deliver technology solutions using Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), also known as Data Center Bridging (DCB) and iSCSI to improve network economics.

As the notion of traditional, physical data center boundaries extend to virtual environments, customers must adapt to a variety of technological challenges including virtualization, security, bandwidth utilization and network management. By signing this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement, Dell and Juniper intend to deliver a secure network infrastructure – from a customer’s traditional data center out to its branch offices, remote workers, customers and business partners – that can dynamically adjust to meet these challenges and provide orchestrated management of users, workloads and data — avoiding single-vendor lock-in.

In addition the integrated Business Continuity engine enables companies to have full access to their email via a web browser to meet electronic discovery requests and when their primary email service is lost.

According to IDC, e-mail volume has doubled each year to over 40 billion person-to-person e-mails daily and the volume is expected to continue to grow over 18 percent annually by 2011. To meet FRCP mandates, companies must be able to produce all data such as messages required by litigation in a federal court quickly. The compliance demands combined with email being one of the easiest ways for hackers, spammers and other malicious threats to penetrate and disrupt business operations, have made email security a top concern and a necessity too complex and cost-prohibitive for companies to manage themselves.
