Case Study: MegaPath Meets Evolving Customer Needs With New Juniper Networks-Based Managed SSL VPN Services

By partnering with leading carriers, MegaPath is the leader in providing managed SSL VPN services to Fortune 5000 customers in several key verticals, including manufacturing, healthcare and financial services/insurance. The company is also the leading provider of MPLS VPNs to the retail marketplace, including fast food chains and retail stores, which it serves directly. And it is a strong player in the SMB market for secure Internet access and voice services, with over 20,000 small and medium-size business customers.

The Challenge
When Netifice Communications merged with MegaPath in 2006, the company decided to augment its SSL VPN service with a multi-customer platform that would enable it to address the SMB market, so that it could capitalize on MegaPath's strong SMB distribution channels and customer base. To do this, the company selected Juniper Networks SA Series SSL VPN Appliances to deliver a wider set of SSL VPN services. It also needed to expand its network to support both companies' customers. This presented an opportunity to add Juniper Networks M Series Multiservice Edge Routers which have helped it realize operational and management efficiencies.
