Juniper Networks unveiled additions to its cloud and virtualized service offerings as part of its Software-Defined Secure Networks (SDSN) framework.
These enhancements include a new compact and containerized virtual firewall called Juniper Networks cSRX, a next-generation firewall providing advanced security services for Software Defined Networks, as well as a multi-core version of the Juniper Networks vSRX, that the company claims is capable of reaching 100Gbps.
According to Juniper Networks, the cSRX is expected to provide a cost effective way to wrap advanced security services around every workload and the ability to scale up to high multi-tenancy. Both products are anticipated to enable the network to better detect and combat threats through increased performance, intelligence, and a higher density of services on the Intel® Xeon® processor family (x86 platform).
