GREENLAND, NH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 13, 2007 -- Great Bay Software, Inc., an innovator of
802.1X-enabled Endpoint Profiling security solutions for enterprise
networks, today announced it has joined the Juniper Networks J-Partner
Solutions Alliance Program to ensure the interoperability of the Juniper
Networks Unified Access Control (UAC) solution and Great Bay Software
Beacon Endpoint Profiler™. The collaboration between the two companies
provides a complete endpoint security solution that ensures
network-attached endpoints meet the required security parameters prior to
gaining network access.
The Juniper Networks UAC solution secures the user-based devices or those
that have the ability to support agents, while Great Bay's Beacon provides
a mechanism for quickly provisioning the UAC-enabled network and securing
the unmanageable devices that are integral elements of every IT network.
Juniper Networks' UAC is an open-standards approach to network access
control that includes support for 802.1X technologies and Trusted Network
Connect (TNC) specifications.
"Great Bay Software's Beacon Endpoint Profiler complements our UAC offering
and provides customers with a proven mechanism to rapidly deploy, manage
and monitor unmanageable network endpoints," said Karthik Krishnan, product
line manager at Juniper Networks. "Our industry standards focus and
position in the access control market are strengthened by this new
alliance."
"We're very pleased to team with Juniper," said Steve Pettit, president of
Great Bay Software. "We believe Juniper has a tremendous opportunity in the
market for UAC and are excited to be a part of that success."
