new schedule of juniversities from juniper networks drives high-performance channel education in the middle east.

Juniper Networks, the leader in high-performance networking, continues to build its focus on partner education in the Middle East with a new series of JUniversities throughout February and March. The events are designed to enable Juniper's J-Partners to meet the networking needs of businesses in the region by creating a clear understanding of the commercial challenges faced by today's enterprises.

The JUniversity events will be held in cities across the Middle East.

"High-performance networks provide fast, reliable, secure applications and communications. Capital and operational expenditure is streamlined, and day-to-day management simplified, without compromising speed and efficiency," said Taj El-Khayat, Head of Enterprise Channel Group, Middle East and Africa at Juniper Networks. "For Juniper's channel partners, this provides a compelling business opportunity to sell infrastructure to their enterprise customers, and also to add value with consultancy, training and support services."

The JUniversity forums will include a general session covering Juniper's channel strategy, market trends and business opportunities in the Middle East region. There will also be sessions focused on sales and technical training, providing detailed insight into selling Juniper's advanced networking technologies to high-performance businesses, including the new EX-series Ethernet switches, WX application acceleration portfolio and Unified Access Control (UAC) solutions.
