Running on Juniper’s powerful JUNOS software, a single-source code base network operating system, the SRX series delivers integrated services, scalable performance and operational simplicity that help high-performance businesses accelerate the deployment of business-enabling applications and services across the network to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.

Businesses are under continuous pressure to meet demanding and changing application and service requirements that enable innovation. As they continue to massively scale their networks to support advanced applications and services, they are also coming to the realization that they can no longer afford the performance and security tradeoffs and operational complexities associated with maintaining legacy network infrastructure.

Legacy network infrastructure is often limited in performance, slow to adapt and costly and complex to manage. This hinders the deployment of new applications and services and the ability to scale.

The Juniper Networks SRX dynamic services gateways are built upon the industry’s first “no compromise” Dynamic Services Architecture  an extensible design that can simultaneously scale integrated services and network capabilities on a single architecture.

The SRX dynamic services gateways allow innovative businesses to deploy a high-performance network infrastructure that scales in performance, security and services to reduce the escalating demands and risks placed on the network.

This enables fast, reliable and secure access to applications and services from a single network architecture that runs on a single operating system managed by a single management framework, which can reduce the total cost of ownership.

“With new applications emerging and the security landscape continuously evolving, innovative businesses require a high-performance network with flexible technology to enable the effective, efficient and dynamic deployment of advanced applications and services,” said Matt Kolon, Asia Pacific CTO for Juniper Networks.

“Juniper’s Dynamic Services Architecture represents an evolution of networking, enabling businesses to balance network complexity and performance with the services and security they need to extend the value of their network. The SRX family delivers on the promise of this new Dynamic Services Architecture approach.”

Juniper is delivering a quantum leap in performance and security with the SRX by initially launching the highest performance firewall service in the industry. The SRX dynamic services gateways deliver up to 120+ Gbps firewall throughput – an order of magnitude increase in processing speed compared to traditional firewalls.

In addition to offering firewall services, the SRX natively integrates other key services such as Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDos/DoS) protection, Network Address Translation (NAT), dynamic routing, and Quality of Service (QoS).

The ability of the SRX to support and optimize multiple services enables the product to provide scalable performance and security to applications and key services running on the network, thus delivering a superior user experience and improved productivity.

“As a high-performance business, our infrastructure needs require dynamic and extensible technology to be competitive in the marketplace. A flexible platform that enables us to integrate new technology and capabilities as we need it will continue to allow us to quickly and cost-effectively take advantage of new opportunities, while also securing our network infrastructure,” said Sam Ghelfi, CSO, Raymond James. “Juniper’s SRX is a solution that is designed to help address changing business requirements and maximize technology investments as business needs evolve.”
