2009 – 2014
NetScreen and Juniper
Enterprise switching and the security gateways that grew from NetScreen into the Juniper SRX line.
Juniper Networks acquired NetScreen, the firewall company, in 2004, and NetScreen's security technology became the foundation of Juniper's secure-gateway line. Working with both reflects one continuous lineage: the NetScreen SSG firewalls and the SRX gateways that succeeded them. The relationship ran directly through Juniper from 2009, and continued through the reseller channel afterward.
Juniper Networks, 2009 to 2010
Contracted through Juniper Professional Services for Brazil, the role was new-product advocacy for the newly introduced enterprise lines: the SRX-series secure gateways and EX-series switches. The primary engagement was with the strategic partner Telefónica Empresas in Brazil. Beyond pre-sales advocacy, this period delivered real instruction: JUNOS networking-operating-system and SRX secure-gateway operations training for channel partners and customers, including hands-on JUNOS operations training for the Level 3 Communications network operations center staff in Brazil and Argentina, delivered in Cotia, São Paulo.
Through the channel, 2010 to 2014
The Juniper and NetScreen relationship continued through systems integrators and resellers. At CYLK, the work spanned configuration development, proof-of-concept and interoperability testing, and live implementation and troubleshooting across Juniper, NetScreen, and F5. At TDec, Juniper joined a multi-vendor consulting and training practice. The hands-on product range across these years was broad: EX switches, SRX and NetScreen SSG firewalls, SA SSL-VPN, J-series routers, and AX managed Wi-Fi.
