The Chhattisgarh Government, through India’s nodal agency for e-governance - CHiPS, is creating a convergent, hybrid network for audio, video and data based on fixed lines, satellite (VSAT) and radio frequency technologies. Juniper’s M- and J-series routers and Integrated Security Gateways (ISG) is set to support an extensive range of government services, including Chhattisgarh Online Information for Citizen Empowerment (CHOiCE) which offers 130 online government services to the citizens. Aman Kumar Singh, Secretary (IT) GoC and CEO of CHiPS said, ‘This is one of the nation’s largest infrastructure deployments to date and forms the cornerstone of our state-wide Wimax plans. Juniper’s extensive, proven carrier-grade technology, selected after a transparent bidding process, was a natural fit for our high-performance infrastructure.’
Juniper’s M-series multiservice edge routers deliver advanced IP/MPLS edge routing services at scale, without compromise on a single platform, minimizing operational and capital costs. The J-series services routers features a variety of flexible interfaces that deliver secure reliable network connectivity to remote, branch, and regional offices. Juniper’s ISG provides linear firewall and IPSec VPN performance for the latest internet applications and multimedia content. The Optional Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) security modules additionally provide full protection from all the latest network attacks and threats.
Brad Gray, vice president of South Asia Pacific for Juniper Networks said, ‘Government require fast, reliable and secure access to their network. Chhattisgarh’s choice of Juniper Networks fot its high-performance infrastructure shows recognition of the unique value we deliver, combining high-performance and high-availability, to empower programmes and processes that serve vast communities.
