It’s rare for a telecommunications services firm such as Juma Technology to get funding, but the Farmingdale, New York-based company said Monday that it took $5 million in its first investment round.
Investors specializing in telecommunications have tended to focus on hardware companies and have steered clear of services firms that highlight systems integration capabilities, according to Naqi Jaffery, president of research firm Telecom Trends International.
But the current confluence of relatively new and competitive technologies such as dual-mode phones, WiMAX, EV-DO, mobile VoIP, and 802.11n-based WiFi is opening doors for businesses like Juma.
“We offer corporations something they can’t get from their hardware vendors: independent integration skills that make use of the equipment they already have,” said Juma CEO David Giangano.

Having best-of-breed VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) installation know-how is
key to this systems integrator’s success.
To be a successful VAR/systems integrator requires a combination of business savvy and technological know-how. And, that’s what separates Juma Technology Corp. from the average VoIP VAR/systems integrator. Juma is a telecommunications and IT systems integrator specializing in converged voice and data networks. The integrator provides analysis, design, and deployment of integrated communications.
One recent installation that confirms Juma Technology’s position as the 2007 Business Solutions Channel Innovator Award winner for VoIP is with Austin Travel, a large corporate travel management company on Long Island, NY. Like other travel agencies, Austin Travel needed to find a way to cut costs to remain competitive. Unlike many of its competitors, however, Austin Travel opted not to move its call center offshore. Instead, it decided to consolidate a few of its offices in the Manhattan area, which resulted in nearly 15% of its 150 employees and contracted agents having to commute an hour to work each day. As could be expected, this caused morale to drop. Austin Travel contacted a few VoIP VARs/integrators in the area, including Juma Technology, to inquire about how VoIP might solve its dilemma.

Security will continue to be a hot practice area for resellers this year, as worldwide spending on security hardware, software and services rises as high as $44.8 billion in 2007, according to IDC of Framingham, Mass.
Factors driving increased spending on security include the need to comply with increasingly ‘net-aware regulations, the move toward high-value but vulnerable networked applications such as unified communications, as well as refinements in network security such as an increased emphasis on gateway/perimeter security, and the gradual merging of security, system and storage management.
Just keeping up with rising volumes of spam, phishing, viruses and other threats is stretching the resources and patience of many end-user companies. It’s the improvements in security implementations that will make one value-added reseller (VAR) more successful than another, analysts said.

Extreme Networks has spent the last six months giving its channel program a facelift by implementing changes solution providers said are helping boost their sales and profitability.
It’s a partner-friendly turnaround for a company that as little as three years ago was neutral on the channel, said Dan Sibille, senior director of North American channels at Extreme, Santa Clara, Calif. “I was brought in with the specific focus of rebuilding our channel program,” said Sibille, who joined Extreme nearly two years ago.
After examining Extreme’s existing partner program and talking with solution providers about what they needed to be successful selling Extreme’s products, Sibille began a program overhaul that has added a deal registration program, free training and expanded sales and marketing support.
Since launching the new program six months ago, Extreme has increased North American sales through the channel by 10 percent to 15 percent, Sibille said. “It means that the vast majority of business goes through the channel,” he said.

During the next 18 months, Juniper Networks plans to roll out branch-office devices that integrate MPLS routing, VoIP and WAN acceleration capabilities - a combination designed to streamline architecture and reduce administrative costs.
The goal is to wrestle business away from Cisco’s highly successful integrated services router (ISR), which supports comparable functions, but at a higher price, Juniper says.
With the demand for branch-office gear increasing 10% per year, Juniper stands a chance of tapping a growing reservoir of customers, says Johna Till Johnson, president and chief research officer of Nemertes Research and a Network World columnist. “This is an opportunity to take from Cisco, but it depends on the execution.”
Juniper’s plan streamlines branch-office architecture by merging functions of three boxes - router, WAN acceleration appliance and VoIP gateway - into one. Fewer devices can help reduce the cost of branch IT support, Johnson says, and that is significant. “Nearly 40% of IT time and energy goes to support branches,” she says, quoting statistics her firm gathered from multinational corporations based in the United States.
To kick off the effort, Juniper this week plans to announce availability of two J-Series routers, J4350 and J6350, that are based on the same hardware as Juniper’s branch Secure Services Gateways, the SSG 520 and SSG 550.
They differ in that the J4350 and J6350 run on Juniper’s highly regarded router operating system called Junos. The SSGs run on ScreenOS, the security-tuned operating system Juniper acquired when it bought Netscreen.

Juniper Networks this week is launching new security and routing products for branch offices, including models that will have integrated VoIP capabilities from Avaya.
The strategy to put multiple services such as VoIP, security and routing on a single branch-office box competes directly with rival Cisco Systems and its popular Integrated Services Routers. Cisco said earlier this year that it shipped more than 1 million ISRs within the first 18 months of the product line’s launch.
As the foundation for its new integrated offerings, Juniper’s J-series access router line is being refreshed with a new hardware platform. The new J4350 and J6350 routers are based on the same hardware as Juniper’s Secure Services Gateway 500-series products, a lineup of security devices with integrated routing capabilities. The new routers are four to 10 times faster than their predecessors, said Hitesh Sheth, vice president of security products at Juniper, Sunnyvale, Calif.
Early next year, Juniper plans to release an Avaya Voice Gateway module that will integrate Avaya’s IG550 telephony gateway with the new J-series routers, enabling solution providers to provide branch office routing and IP telephony in one box, Sheth said.
