The Juniper Networks NetScreen-5000 series is a line of purpose-built, high-performance firewall/VPN security systems designed to deliver a new level of high-performance capabilities for large enterprise, carrier, and data center networks. The NetScreen-5000 series consists of two products: the 2-slot NetScreen-5200 system and the 4-slot NetScreen-5400 system. NetScreen-5000 security systems integrate firewall, VPN, DoS and DDoS protection, and traffic-management functionality, in a low-profile modular chassis. Built around Juniper's third-generation security ASIC and distributed system architecture, the NetScreen-5000 series offers excellent scalability and flexibility, while providing a higher level security system through Juniper Networks NetScreen ScreenOS custom operating system. Both products employ a switch fabric for data exchange and separate multibus channel for control information, delivering scalable performance for the most demanding environments.

Features & Benefits

Key features and benefits of the NetScreen-5000 security systems include the following:

• Modular, chassis-based security systems that offer flexible and scalable solutions for large enterprises and carriers
• Comprehensive high-availability solution for sub-second failover between interfaces or devices
• Full mesh configurations to allow for redundant physical paths in the network, thereby providing maximum resiliency and uptime
• Virtual System support to allow partitioning into multiple security domains, each with a unique set of administrators, policies, VPNs, and address books
• Interface flexibility for varying network-connectivity requirements and future growth requirements
• Virtual Router support to map internal, private, or overlapped IP addresses to a new IP address, providing an alternate route to the final destination and concealing it from public view
• Customizable security zones to increase interface density without additional hardware expenditures, lower policy-creation costs, contain unauthorized users and attacks, and simplify management of firewall/VPNs
• Transparent mode to allow the device to function as a Layer 2 IP security bridge, providing firewall, VPN, and DoS protections, with minimal change to the existing network
• Management through graphical Web UI, CLI, or Juniper Networks NetScreen-Security Manager™ central management system
• Policy-based management to allow centralized, end-to-end life-cycle management
