"Technology moves on and products such as the Juniper SA/IC and MAG appliances have now been announced as end-of-life. These products were fantastic for basic remote access, but as with all technology, the demands of a modern enterprise have changed dramatically and workers now demand uncomplicated access from anywhere and any device plus IT needs visibility with the ability to incorporate both on premises and cloud based systems.” says Phil Montgomery, VP Marketing for Pulse Secure, “This promotion demonstrates our commitment to our 20,000 customers in order to boost their workforce productivity and extend the security, reliability, and capability of our solution.”
