Microsoft Applications
Provide Security and Performance for Centralized Microsoft Applications
The Microsoft Applications resource site provides demos, literature, case studies, and tools on securing and assuring performance for centralized Microsoft applications. Find solutions to specific issues related to Microsoft applications and protocols, including: Exchange, WAFS/File Services, SharePoint, and Secure Microsoft Applications.
Exchange
Slow Exchange - MAPI or OWA - performance?
Your employees depend upon accessing their Microsoft email anytime, anywhere. Whether a worker is accessing his email through an Outlook client in a remote office, or at home through Outlook Web Access, high performance is critical. Juniper's application acceleration solutions can dramatically accelerate performance of MAPI and OWA while enabling server centralization. If you have projects for centralizing Exchange servers, Juniper can help guarantee assured performance.

WAFS/File Services
Accelerating File Services? Centralizing Microsoft File Servers? Considering WAFS?
While centralizing file servers yields a number of benefits, it creates performance problems as the data that branch-office users, formerly accessed via local servers is forced to travel over the WAN. Slow links, high latency, and bandwidth contention are only part of the performance problems for branch-office users since the Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol is inherently inefficient over the WAN. Juniper delivers an integrated WAN optimization solution that addresses the full set of WAN challenges impacting the performance of CIFS.

Case Study
SharePoint
Performance Issues with SharePoint?
SharePoint Portal Server makes it simple for people to collaborate and share information. But if response times are slow, users become frustrated and productivity can diminish. Juniper's data center application acceleration solutions accelerate SharePoint response times for remote, mobile and branch office users.
Secure Applications
Need to Secure Microsoft Servers and Applications?
The pervasive use of Microsoft products makes any announced vulnerability a significant risk to business operations. Administrators have to balance the need for providing users with access to Microsoft servers and applications with the need to protect these servers and applications from attacks. Secure your Microsoft servers and applications and control server access to only authorized users.
