Juniper Networks offers platform to Sherekhan

Bangalore, Aug 20 (UNI) Juniper Networks today announced that 'Sharekhan', a leading securities trading firm, has boosted the responsiveness, security and scale of its stock-trading website with Juniper Networks DX 3280 load balancing and application acceleration platforms.

Wipro Infotech, one of the world's leading business process outsourcing providers and system integrators had deployed the platforms, according to a release.

According to Sharekhan, the DX platforms had increased the scalability of its customer-facing website by up to 100 times, improving performance and responsiveness for an increasing number of users without spending more on additional Web servers.

While accelerating Web application performance, including secure SSL-based trading transactions, the DX platforms also further protect Sharekhan's Web infrastructure with 'internal firewall' functionality in the critical transaction zone where Web-enabled applications reside. The DX platforms also authenticate Sharekhan's users and protect servers from denial-of-service (DoS) and SYN flood attacks.
