Axiom Systems Introduces Integrated IPVPN Solution for Juniper Networks; Packaged Solution Allows Service Providers To Rapidly and Cost Effectively Deploy and Manage IPVPN Services over Juniper Networks platforms.

READING, United Kingdom & SEATTLE -- Axiom Systems, the leader in Service Fulfillment software for Communication Service Providers, today announced the introduction of AXIOSS(R) for IPVPN for Juniper Networks, a packaged solution that speeds the creation, configuration and management of secure virtual private networks over Juniper Networks routing platforms.

AXIOSS for IPVPN for Juniper Networks has been developed to help Service Providers meet increasing customer demand for new and innovative VPN services in a cost effective and efficient way. The combined AXIOSS and Juniper solution brings together all the different processes, systems, departments and technologies involved in the design, creation and delivery of IPVPN services, dramatically reducing time to market and the overall costs of operation.

IPVPNs allow Service Providers to use their IP backbone to provide virtual private network services to their business and residential customers. AXIOSS for IPVPN for Juniper Networks simplifies the process of creating and implementing new IPVPN connections for both the Service provider and the end customer.

"Manually delivering and tracking new services is time-consuming and can become a cost burden for Service Providers as their networks grow and configurations become more complex. AXIOSS for IPVPN automates many of the complex workflow processes, inventory modes and interfaces involved in provisioning a new IPVPN service, so that it is much more cost effective to roll out and manage these new services," said Nik Soheili, Vice President of Alliances at Axiom Systems.

"This initiative forms part of Axiom Systems broader program to support Juniper Network's Open IPTV and Multiplay Initiative, with planned future integration to other parts of Juniper's portfolio."

The automation of these processes dramatically reduces the numbers of errors that can occur when network configuration is undertaken manually, while Quality of Service can be guaranteed through the use of pre-configured and tested components that are used to create Service Delivery Templates.

AXIOSS for IPVPN for Juniper Networks provides a design environment within which workflow process, inventory models and Juniper network interfaces involved in the provisioning of end to end IPVPN services can be individually designed and tested. They can then be classified and archived to the AXIOSS Component Library thereby providing a comprehensive resource of Juniper network and services components that allow end users to create and manage IPVPN services more efficiently.

"To attract and retain customers, Service Providers need to bring new services, such as IPVPNs, to market quickly and cost-effectively. By seamlessly integrating with Juniper Networks' industry-leading VPN portfolio, AXIOSS ensures the efficient processing of multiple VPN Service Orders in a multi vendor environment throughout the entire service delivery lifecycle - from order placement to activation to billing." said Elias Hatem, Director, Partner Management at Juniper Networks.

AXIOSS for IPVPN for Juniper Networks supports the enablement of IPVPN products and services across the complete Juniper Networks routing portfolio, including E-, J-, M- and T-series routers. In addition to Juniper Networks routing platforms, AXIOSS also supports Juniper Networks WX Product Family (Application Acceleration) and Firewall / IPSecVPN products.

AXIOSS for IPVPN for Juniper Networks is available through Axiom Systems and other value added resellers.
