Products
Juniper's router products include T-series, M-series, MX-series, E-series, and J-series families of routers, and the SDX service deployment system.
- T-series routers are large core routers.
- M-series routers are multiservice core/edge routers.
- MX-series routers are ethernet services edge routers.
- E-series routers are broadband edge routers.
- J-Series routers are small premise routers.
- NetScreen hardware firewalls.
- Secure Access SSL VPN gateways.
- IDP Intrusion detection and prevention appliances.
- VF-series Session Border Controllers.
The E series routers run the JUNOSe operating software. The E series was developed by Unisphere, which Juniper acquired in 2002 from Siemens.
The J, M, MX, and T series routers are based on a common architecture and the Juniper operating system JUNOS.
While the E, M, and T series are all high speed devices capable of terminating multiple broadband optical connections, the J series is much lower in speed. Capable of terminating DS3 (45 Mbit/s) and slower lines, this product line is aimed at corporate branch offices and service provider premise equipment. With the J-series, Juniper extends its target market from service providers to the enterprise market.
NetScreen firewalls provide wire speed firewall and VPN encryption service.
Secure Access products provide SSL based VPN services to remote users without specialized clients. This product was originally designed by Neoteris. Netscreen acquired Neoteris prior to Juniper's acquisition of Netscreen.
IDP products provide detection and interception of malicious network traffic via stateful analysis.
VF-series session border controllers provide scalability and security processing for VoIP traffic. The VF series was developed by Kagoor Networks which was acquired by Juniper in May of 2005.
