Offering excellent scalability and flexibility while providing high levels of security, the NetScreen-5000 series is differentiated by its chassis configuration for fans, power supplies, and number of slots for modules. All chassis are designed with hot-swappable, redundant fans and power supplies.Employing a switch fabric for data exchange and separate multi-bus channel for control information, the NetScreen-5000 series can scale up to 30 Gbps firewall and 15 Gbps 3DES/AES VPN. It provides low-latency performance for all packet sizes and is ideal for multimedia, voice over IP (VoIP), and other streaming media applications.Juniper Networks delivers all the components necessary to build and secure a highly available infrastructure. Redundant links for full-mesh topologies, sub-second stateful fail-over, path monitoring, and a secured control protocol all join to provide complete resilience for the security layer. The NetScreen-5000 series also supports Juniper Networks virtual systems capability, with capacity up to 500 virtual systems. Virtual systems allow a single security device to be partitioned logically into multiple security domains, each with a unique virtual router, policy set, address book, and administrative login. Virtual systems can be used with physical interfaces, as well as VLAN tagged interfaces bound to any interface, with multiple security zones supported within each virtual system.Whether the requirement is high-capacity session/tunnel aggregation, high-performance small-packet throughput, a high degree of system virtualization or a high degree of physical segmentation, the NetScreen-5000 is the ideal platform for large enterprise and carrier grade networks. The additional benefits associated with lower total cost of ownership and the ability to meet future service or application requirements make the NetScreen-5000 series firewall/VPN the clear choice for network security operations.
