Juniper (JNPR) has announced in the last couple of days End-of Life for the WX100 devices. This effectively kills off the WX stack architecture as a side-effect. The WX-100 was typically never found in standalone deployments, but formed the hub of the WX stack architecture, now capacity improvements will need to be engineered for individual …

Not a camera phone, but a business phone
I’ve had my Nokia N95 for a while (see “Posted from the mobile“), but whilst the screen is nice and large, I spend far to long typing on it. The numeric pad is just not the same as the feel of a real keyboard.

New Juniper WXC appliances
On Monday Juniper launched some new bits of kit in the WXC line, the WXC-1800, WXC-2600, and WXC-3400 devices. The new appliances are partial replacements and extensions over the existing WXC platforms, and they’ve taken the additional capabilities of the platforms to reposition devices a little more cleverly than the WXC-250, 500 and 590..

Quick take-aways so far indicate the planned killing off of a significant portion of the Packeteer product line, and the maintenance of the current Packetshaper product line (Packetshaper, Intelligence Centre and PolicyCentre).

The value in taking both paths at once
Over time the use of multiple paths within the modern corporate network has increased. We’ve gone through a whole series of phases, and now are emerging into the 4th generation of the technology. I’ve had the (good?) fortune to experience all of these at various points, and to design networks around the deployment of these, …

Purple and Blue – Packeteer and BlueCoat
So there’s loads of stuff on the net about the upcoming merger between BlueCoat and Packeteer. I’m going to add my own 2p to the thoughts, as I think that this is a potentially large issue for users of Packetshaper, iShared and SkyX devices.
