Juniper Networks J-Partner Program, Channel Chief Frank Vitagliano and Federal Channel Executive Tom Gillman Awarded Top Honors By CMP Publications

Posted on: Tuesday, 20 March 2007, 09:00 CDT

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR) today announced that it has been recognized as a "5-Star Partner" by VARBusiness and GovernmentVAR magazine for the high-quality partner programs it offers to solution providers working in the commercial and public sectors markets.

In addition, Juniper Networks also announced today that VARBusiness Magazine named Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channels and U.S. Enterprise Operations, Frank Vitagliano to its "Top 60 Channel Executives" list. Vitagliano is credited for several strategic initiatives that are notably improving the company's relationship with channel partners. GovernmentVAR Magazine also named Tom Gillman, director of Federal Channels, Juniper Networks, to its "25 Public-Sector Channel Leaders" list.

"We've set out on a very proactive course to become a true business partner with our J-Partners -- we've built deliberate dependence on them," said Vitagliano. "We recognize how critical ease of doing business is to the partners and we have made great progress, but will continually work to drive further improvements to support, not compete with, channel partners to provide best-in-class networking and security solutions to their customers."

"Nowadays, the structure of vendor channel programs is too often reduced to a checklist of must-have elements. The VARBusiness 5-Star Partner Program honor recognizes those select vendors, like Juniper, who have the programmatic structure to best serve their solution providers in their specific markets segments and technologies. These programs reflect vendors who have built channel programs that have the capacity to execute on key elements for channel success," said GovernmentVAR and VARBusiness Editor Lawrence M. Walsh.
