SRX-series Services Gateway
| The Juniper Networks SRX 5600 and SRX 5800 are engineered from the ground up to offer robust networking and security services. Based on our revolutionary Dynamic Services Architecture and powered by our proven JUNOS® Software, the SRX services gateways deliver a next-generation solution for securing enterprise and service provider infrastructure and applications. | ![]() |
Overview
Based on our revolutionary Dynamic Services Architecture, the SRX 5000 line of services gateways provides unrivaled performance and scalability to ensure uninterrupted expansion and growth of your network infrastructure without sacrificing security. The SRX 5600 and the SRX 5800 are designed to meet the network and security requirements for data center hyper-consolidation, rapid managed services deployments, and aggregation of security services.

Features
- Scalable performance: The Dynamic Services Architecture allows the SRX to leverage new services with appropriate processing capabilities without sacrificing overall system performance.
- System and network resiliency: Carrier-class reliability based on features ranging from redundant hardware and components to JUNOS, our proven OS.
- Interface flexibility: Highly flexible I/O configuration and independent I/O scalability meet the needs of virtually any network environment.
- Network segmentation: Security zone, virtual LANs (VLANs), and virtual routers allow administrators to tailor security and networking policies for various internal, external, and demilitarized zone (DMZ) subgroups.
- Robust routing engine: Carrier-class routing engine provides physical and logical separation of data and control planes to allow deployment of consolidated routing and security devices and ensure the security of routing infrastructures.
- Comprehensive threat protection: Integrated security features and services include a multi-gigabit firewall, intrusion detection and prevention (IDP), denial of service (DoS), network address translation (NAT), and quality of service (QoS).
