Juniper Networks, the industry leader in network innovation, today announced that its high-performance data center security solution has been deployed by China Minsheng Banking Corporation (CMBC), China's first commercial bank to be owned by mostly non-government entities. Juniper Networks® SRX Series Services Gateways provide CMBC with highly-scalable and available security at its new data center as the bank introduces new core business systems to improve its performance, meet customers’ needs and drive customer satisfaction. Founded in 1996, CMBC now has 350 main branches and outlet locations across China, focusing on non-state owned companies, small-to-medium enterprises and high-net-worth retail customers. The decision to invest in a new data center and deploy Juniper Networks SRX5600 and SRX3600 Services Gateways was driven by its goal to become a distinctive, efficient and secure bank that brings maximum value and return to its customers and investors.
