Juniper Networks

Overview

The Juniper Networks NetScreen-200 series includes two enterprise network products: the NetScreen-204 appliance with four 10/100 interfaces, and the NetScreen-208 appliance with eight 10/100 interfaces. Together, they are among the most versatile security appliances available today, easily integrating into many different environments, including medium to large enterprise networks, offices, e-business sites, data centers, and carrier infrastructures. Complete with either four or eight auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports, the NetScreen-200 series performs firewall functions at wire speed (375 Mbps). Even the most computationally intense applications, such as 3DES and AES encryption, are performed at speeds up to 175 Mbps. In addition to physical interface density, the NetScreen-200 series optionally supports virtualization, including VLAN support and additional custom security zones and virtual routers.

Features & Benefits

Key features and benefits of the NetScreen-204 and NetScreen-208 appliances include the following:

• Integrated solution with security-optimized hardware, operating system, and applications
• High-performance platform with excellent price/performance and superior features
• Comprehensive high-availability solution for sub-second failover between interfaces or devices
• Customizable security zones to increase interface density without additional hardware expenditures
• Integrated Deep Inspection firewall for application-level attack protection for Internet-facing protocols, applied on a per-policy basis
• Redundant VPN gateways for an additional level of redundancy in a VPN network, by allowing backup tunnel definitions in the event of a lost VPN connection
• Firewall attack protection on every interface, for a secure internal as well as external network
• Transparent mode to allow the device to function as a Layer 2 IP security bridge, but with minimal change to the existing network
• Management through graphical Web UI, CLI, or the NetScreen-Security Manager central management system
• Policy-based management for centralized, end-to-end life-cycle management
