back to article Juniper whips out knife, slices off security products

Months after Juniper Networks confirmed the prioritisation of revenue-generating projects, the firm has quietly dumped several security products, causing upset to some of its nearest and dearest in the channel.

    Products? What products?

    We were called and told that our SSG-140s would no longer be supported so we looked into the SRX but the one we bought to evaluate won't even detect that it has lost the DSL link and reconnect without manual intervention.

    We loaded up the SSG-140s with 8 port cards so we can run 34 zones on them so every server is in its own zone and we can throw out the obsolete "Untrust/Trust/DMZ" concept that is still listed as best practice by every firewall vendors.

    Too bad every other vendor wants to charge a fortune per port. These things should look like switches.

      Running 34 servers in individual zones is not the future or a better way of working.

    Our resellers responses after we chased them...

    Tuesday - "At this stage no official statement has been released by Juniper. However, their partner summit is taking place tomorrow afternoon and we have been assured that an official statement will be released at the summit. "

    Thursday - "At this stage, there has been no official announcement or statement from Juniper. All that has been confirmed to us is that this article did not come from Juniper. The spokeswoman mentioned in the article is not from Juniper either; this article has been written by a partner and Juniper are investigating."

    Though from what I read in the article, the "spokeswoman" wasn't named in the article, only the ex-CEO, so apply salt liberally.
