Voyence and Juniper Networks Ease IT Compliance Process with New Partnership

Richardson, Texas, April 24, 2006 – Voyence, a technology visionary in automating network change and configuration management, today announced it has achieved preferred partner status within the Juniper Networks, J-Partner OSS & Network Management Alliance. Through this partnership, Voyence has enhanced the data gathering and reporting functionality of its VoyenceControl NG solution via greater interoperability with Juniper Networks’ routing, VPN and firewall products. The new functionality empowers customers with greater visibility into Juniper’s devices to quickly address security issues and maintain government IT compliance mandates.

Voyence’s service provider and enterprise customers now have access to robust Juniper device data. The new integration is achieved by establishing a direct data flow between Juniper’s hardware platforms and VoyenceControl NG, allowing for the collection and refinement of elusive information. This rich-level of information enables IT administrators to make real-time, actionable decisions pertaining to audits, compliance, security and configuration changes made to network devices.

“As part of Voyence’s continued efforts to reduce the time and complexity of managing networks, we form alliances with best-in-class vendors – Juniper clearly falls into this category,” said Mary Morgan, senior vice president, Global Operations, Voyence. “The interoperability between our offerings will have an immediate impact by easing our customers’ ability to gather and report on data relative to meeting compliance standards as well as helping to ‘lockdown’ the network by tracking changes and the personnel who configure devices.”

Voyence completed interoperability with the following Juniper Networks devices:

• NetScreen-5XT, -5XP, -5GT, -10, -50,-100, -204 and -500 Firewall and VPNs .
• J-Series Services Routers
• M-Series Multi Service Edge Routers

“We’re pleased to be working with Voyence as part of the J-Partner Global Alliance,” said Tony Scarfo vice president, Global Alliances at Juniper Networks, Inc. “Our alliance with Voyence helps strengthen the management of business processes for service providers and enterprises, giving them greater visibility and a more complete understanding of network services.”
