September 13, 2004 - (HostReview.com) - Juniper Networks, Inc. (www.juniper.net) today announced that ARSYS, Spain's leading web hosting company, is significantly upgrading its network infrastructure with routing and security solutions from Juniper Networks.

The expansion, which includes a new data center to augment its existing Points of Presence (PoPs) in Madrid and London, is designed to facilitate ARSYS's growth and development strategy over the next six years, ensuring it remains at the forefront of demand for fast, secure Web hosting services.

Manuel Amutio, chief technical officer for ARSYS, said: "This investment is one of the most significant in our company history. ARSYS is operating in a highly competitive market, so it is imperative that we are able to create services based on quality, speed, reliability and security.

ARSYS provides hosting services for a wide range of enterprises, including TV companies, political parties, hospitals, local administrations, online journals and online retailers, as well as personal sites for individuals.

Eddie Minshull, vice-president of sales in EMEA, Juniper Networks, commented: "The flexibility offered by our platforms has proven to be very effective for ARSYS. Due to the blend of different customer profiles the company has established, traffic throughput on the routers and security devices varies between very large and very small packets."

ARSYS will deploy a pair of Juniper Networks T320 core routing platforms at its data centers in Madrid and Logroņo respectively. These platforms will support ARSYS's high-speed STM-64 lines, ensuring that traffic is routed efficiently and reliably across the core network.

As part of its network evolution, ARSYS is also deploying two pairs of Juniper Networks NetScreen-5200 integrated firewall and virtual private network (VPN) systems to secure the new data center in Logroņo, plus a pair of Juniper Networks NetScreen-500 firewall and VPN systems in its Madrid facility.

Juniper Networks transforms the business of networking by creating competitive advantage for our customers with superior networking and security solutions.
