SRX2300 Firewall Datasheet
Download DatasheetProduct Overview
As data centers evolve from traditional architectures to distributed, the firewall’s role needs to expand. Rather than being a perimeter technology, firewalls need to be part of a security fabric woven throughout the network. A security fabric ensures that security is maintained at every point of connection.
Juniper's Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture, managed by Juniper Security Director Cloud, offers a high-performance, scalable, and easy-to-manage firewall solution to secure today’s distributed data centers. Juniper Networks SRX2300 line of Firewalls is integral to this new architecture, and it empowers organizations to operationalize security across their networks. This 1 U, power-efficient firewall features built-in zero-trust, Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) fabric integration, and AI-Predictive Threat Prevention to secure your network. The SRX2300 delivers next-generation firewall throughput of 39 Gbps per rack unit and supports 100 Gbps interfaces with wire speed MACsec.
Product Description
Juniper Networks® SRX2300 Firewall is a high-performance, next-generation firewall (NGFW) designed to provide reliable network protection for your enterprise campus edge and data center edge. It also supports roaming, SD-WAN large branch, and SD-WAN secure hub use cases. Combining carrier-grade routing with state-of-the-art switching, this platform delivers robust security, effective threat detection, and comprehensive automation and mitigation capabilities.
SRX2300 delivers NGFW features that support the changing needs of cloud-enabled enterprise networks and data centers. Whether rolling out new services within an enterprise campus, connecting to the cloud seamlessly, complying with industry standards, or achieving operational efficiency, the SRX2300 empowers organizations to operationalize zero-trust principles at scale while realizing their business objectives. The SRX2300 protects critical corporate assets with features such as intrusion prevention system (IPS), follow-the-user and follow-the-application access policies, and Juniper’s AI-Predictive Threat Prevention. Furthermore, SRX2300 works with Juniper cloud security solutions to secure hybrid-cloud environments with networkwide visibility and control, providing consistently secure on-premises and cloud environments.
As network architectures become more distributed and decentralized, Juniper Networks SRX Series Firewalls ensure seamless integration with other Juniper and third-party networking platforms, and facilitate architectural transformation. At the same time, the NGFWs facilitate architectural transformation taking organizations from on-premises to hybrid cloud environments seamlessly and cost effectively. SRX Series Firewalls are the first to implement industry standard Ethernet VPN (EVPN) type 5 and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) protocols within data center environments, enabling the SRX2300 to act as a secure, fabric-aware leaf in the data center spine-leaf architecture.
The SRX2300 participates in the industry-first Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture, enabling organizations to scale both horizontally and elastically, and it simplifies operational management of large-scale firewall networks. With this architecture, several SRX2300 platforms can work together as a single large logical firewall to provide security at higher performance and scale.
The SRX2300 is powered by Junos® operating system, the OS that underpins and helps secure the world’s largest mission-critical enterprise and service provider networks. It is managed by Juniper Security Director Cloud, Juniper’s unified management experience that connects the organization’s current deployments with future architectural rollouts. Security Director Cloud uses a single policy framework enabling consistent security policies across any environment and expanding zero trust to all parts of the network from the edge into the data center. This provides unbroken visibility, policy configuration, administration, and collective threat intelligence all in one place.
Architecture and Key Components
The SRX2300 hardware and software architecture provides cost-effective security in a compact, scalable 1U form factor. Purpose built to protect network environments and provide Internet Mix (IMIX) firewall throughput of up to 26 Gbps, the SRX2300 incorporates multiple security services and networking functions on top of Junos OS, providing highly customizable threat protection, automation, and integration capabilities. Best-in-class advanced security capabilities on the SRX2300 are offered as 35 Gbps of NGFW, 35 Gbps of IPS, and up to 15 Gbps of IPsec VPN in the data center, enterprise campus, and regional headquarters deployments with IMIX traffic patterns.
Built-in Zero Trust
To increase trust and streamline operations, the SRX2300 features several built-in zero trust device capabilities, including an embedded Trusted Platform Module (TMP) 2.0 and cryptographically signed device ID. The SRX2300 supports RFC compliant Secure Zero Touch Provisioning (sZTP) to deploy products in your network efficiently, expediently, and remotely. Additionally, the SRX2300 supports MACsec at wire speed, ensuring data integrity, and confidentiality.
Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture
The SRX2300 is part of the Juniper's Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture, which revolutionizes data center security. With Juniper's Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture, firewall performance can scale horizontally by interconnecting traffic forwarding and security services across multiple geographic locations. The Juniper solution also provides automated failover and backup nodes for both forwarding and inspection components. In addition to redundancy and load balancing, Juniper's Connected Security Distributed Services Architecture simplifies how large-scale data center firewall networks are managed and operated. Regardless of how many additional firewall engines across the various form factors (physical, virtual, containerized) are added, they can all be managed as one logical unit. This centralized management eliminates the complexity that has been an unintended consequence of a traditional scale-out approach.
