Introducing....The worlds fastest firewall

Juniper have released the SRX-series Services Gateway this week and are claiming the SRX 5800 is the fastest on the market. Here are the stats:

Firewall Performance - 120 Gbps

IDP Performance - 30 Gbps

Max Concurrent Sessions - 4 Million

Juniper Networks Dynamic Services Architecture designed to help high-performance businesses tightly align rapidly changing business requirements with technology investments to accelerate new service deployments.

The Dynamic Services Architecture is the foundation upon which the new Juniper Networks SRX dynamic services gateways are built.

• Juniper Networks SRX 5600 and 5800 series dynamic services gateway are a new category of extensible networking and security devices that set unprecedented benchmarks for high-performance networking
• Allows innovative businesses to deploy a high-performance network infrastructure that scales in both performance and security
• Delivers up to 120+ Gbps firewall throughput - an order of magnitude increase in processing speed compared to traditional firewalls and integrates Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDos/DoS), Network Address Translation (NAT), dynamic routing and Quality of Service (QoS) with additional services in the future to continuously deliver a superior user experience
• Offers the industry's first dual management engine and purpose-built, carrier-class terabit speed fabric, allowing for extensibility to deliver scalable performance based on a family of right-sized devices, services, processing and input/output modules
• Runs on Juniper's powerful JUNOS® software to enable businesses to deploy switching, routing and security infrastructure with the power of a single network operating system
• Reduces operational cost and complexity

Juniper's startegy is normally to release new products into the service provider space and then scale the technology down for the corporate market. I therefore wouldn't be too suprised to see a clutch of smaller SRX JUNOS firewalls be released at the end of the year.
