7.2 is now available for download! You will certainly want to check out the What’s New document as soon as you get a chance.
Enjoy!
As a reminder, 7.2 will not run on legacy/EOL SA2000, SA4000 and SA6000 devices.
Mar 28, 2012 Just finished the Negotiations and Influence class at UC Berkeley. Great course. Well taught and extremely informative, especially from what I learned my own personal negotiating style. Now as noted above…it’s time for me to get back to some real product work.

Those of you running the SSL VPN virtual appliances (SPE) will want to check this out, especially if you are at all related to the healthcare industry. Our Virtual Gateway (vGW) team has just put together this really nice datasheet. Layer vGW behind SPE and things get pretty nice.
Oh, and if you find something you think these two could do better while running together, please don’t hesitate to let me know. We are always looking to make things more valuable and I’ll give you credit for it.

Really looking forward to the HIMSS conference this year. In fact, this will be the first time working at HIMSS since leaving McKesson roughly 6.5 years ago. Anyone interested in meeting up at the conference, please let me know.
Among other items, we will showing how Junos Pulse Mobile Security Suite can be used to seamlessly provision personal mobile computing devices for e-mail, security, WiFi access. These users will be able to load Junos Pulse on their mobile devices and enjoy having everything set up for them. Healthcare IT administrators will enjoy the additional mobile device management capabilities and deep technical insight.
Interest in cloud single sign-on (SSO) is growing…fast. When you get a chance, you might want to check out these 3 resources to learn more:
- Webinar: “Why SAML alone, is NOT enough”
- SAML 101: “What It Is, How It Works & Why It’s Important”
- Juniper Paper: “Transitioning Enterprise Customers to the Cloud with Junos Pulse”
If you happen to have any other favorite SAML resource, please let me know.
2/15/12 Update: You might also want to review the SAML 2.0 Admin Guide.

It’s early December. And right on schedule, here’s the Gartner MQ reports for both SSL VPN and NAC. As always, we are extremely proud of these and know that you will enjoy reading them just as much as I did. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up in the comments section.
Gartner Magic Quadrant Report for NAC
Gartner Magic Quadrant Report for SSL VPN
Also note on the SSL VPN that the author states “Based on market dynamics, Gartner will discontinue the SSL VPN Magic Quadrant after this 2011 report.” Then feel free to go back through every prior report and report back which vendor is the only one to have lasted in the upper-right quadrant through every single SSL VPN MQ. I think you can see where I am heading with this. :-)
