The SRX550 Services Gateway is an all-in-one solution that consolidates security, routing, switching, and WAN connectivity into a single 2 U device. It is a robust, highly flexible device for next-generation security, delivering enterprise-class networking for protecting today’s medium-to-large branch locations and supporting up to 5.5 Gbps firewall, 1 Gbps IPsec VPN, and 800 Mbps intrusion prevention system (IPS). The SRX550 supports next-generation firewall capabilities such as IPS, application visibility and control, and unified threat management (UTM) features including antivirus, antispam, and enhanced Web filtering.
Juniper Networks® SRX550M Firewall delivers a next-generation secure SD-WAN and security solution that supports the changing needs of cloud-enabled enterprise networks. Whether rolling out new services and applications across locations, connecting to the cloud, or trying to achieve operational efficiency, the SRX550M helps organizations realize their business objectives while providing scalable, easy to manage, secure connectivity and advanced threat mitigation capabilities. Next-generation firewall (NGFW) and advanced security also make it easier to detect and proactively mitigate threats to improve the user and application experience.
Architecture and Key Components
The SRX550M Firewall is a secure router that brings high performance and proven deployment capabilities to enterprises building a worldwide network composed of thousands of remote sites. WAN or Internet connectivity module options include:
- Ethernet, serial, T1/E1, ADSL2/2+, and VDSL
- 3G/4G LTE wireless
- 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi
Industry-best, high-performance IPsec VPN solutions provide comprehensive encryption and authentication capabilities to secure intersite communications. Multiple form factors that offer Ethernet switching support on native Gigabit Ethernet ports allow cost-effective choices for mission-critical deployments.
The SRX550M Firewall runs Junos® operating system, a proven, carrier-hardened network OS that powers the top 100 service provider networks around the world. The rigorously tested, carrier-class, rich routing features such as IPv4/IPv6, OSPF, BGP, and multicast have been proven in over 15 years of worldwide deployments. The automation and scripting capabilities of Junos OS and Junos Space® Security Director reduce operational complexity and simplify the provisioning of new sites.
The SRX550M recognizes more than 4,275 Layer 3-7 applications, including Web 2.0 and evasive peer-to-peer (P2P) applications like Skype, torrents, and others. Correlating application information with user contextual information, the SRX550M can generate bandwidth usage reports, enforce access control policies, prioritize and rate-limit traffic exiting WAN interfaces, and proactively secure remote sites. This optimizes resources in the branch office and improves the application and user experience.
