Juniper’s New Take On Firewalls
Story posted on: September 14, 2008
Juniper Networks is scheduled to introduce a pair of powerful new firewalls on Monday.
The new products, the SRX 5800 and 5600 services gateways, will be 2 to 4 times faster than the company’s present firewall and use less power.
But the Silicon Valley company says they also break new ground with a design aimed at providing more user flexibility. Both devices can grow over time with a customer’s needs and incorporate other services, such as intrusion detection or routing, by adding extra cards, or circuitry.
“We believe it is a new category,” said Michael Frendo, senior vice president.
The products target corporations and telecommunications service-providers. They are presently shipping.
