Overview
The SRX550 Services Gateway is an all-in-one solution that consolidates security, routing, switching, and WAN connectivity in a 2 U device. It supports up to 5.5 Gbps firewall, 1 Gbps IPsec VPN, and 800 Mbps intrusion prevention system (IPS).
Unified threat management (UTM) features include: antivirus, application security, IPS, antispam, and enhanced Web filtering. Integrated security intelligence offers adaptive threat protection against command and control (C&C) related botnets and Web application threats, as well as policy enforcement based on GeoIP data coming from Juniper provided feeds. Customers may also leverage their own custom and third-party feeds for protection from advanced malware and other threats. The SRX550 Services Gateway is ideally suited for securing medium and large branch locations.
The SRX550 provides cost-effective, scalable integration of routing, security, and other midrange applications for these branch sites. NSS Labs recommends the SRX550 because it delivers outstanding performance in an architecture that consolidates next-generation firewall security with rich networking capabilities under the highest loads.
