Juniper SRX is used as Network Firewall, which is responsible for securing the workload behind it. It addresses Network Security within the organization, limits the access of the organization's internal network, and secures the enterprise network from threats and from malicious users. Juniper SRX also helped send the traffic to the Internet with the help of Network Address Translation.

The Juniper SRX is a very capable firewall & router. It is a versatile appliance that can fit into many designs, it can be placed as an Internet GW, as a DC firewall, as a DMZ Firewall, as a North-South Firewall & Router, as an edge router/firewall. It mainly addresses the need for a L3 feature rich device (VRFs, BGP, GRE...) as well as security features (Security, IPSEC, IPS, URL Filtering, ...).

The combination of routing instances, support for multiple tunneling (Route Based IPSEC, Policy Based IPSEC, GRE, ...) with the advanced BGP features makes the vSRX perfect for an edge device in your DC or Cloud design.

The boxes can be physical or virtual and support active/standby configuration for high availability config.

The Juniper platform is one of our core devices for customers through our partner. They have the ability to work in almost any situation we put them into. From basic edge routers to full stateful firewall to BGP peering for high availability use cases. The devices have a good background in security and once updated to the current firmware, have no issues passing audits.

in 2014, our organization did a wholesale forklift of our older network equipment and replaced ALL of it with Juniper gear. We use SRX routers/firewalls/IDP and EX & QFX switches. The smaller SRX-220s are in our 17 branch locations with larger SRX-550s in our 3 data center locations. They are all tied together across a telco's MPLS circuitry and also connected to the Internet to 3rd party partners. Juniper network equipment comprises our entire infrastructure - it has proven to be very reliable and effective, plus has a great ROI, especially when compared to the top networking equipment companies.

We use the Juniper SRX platform to connect two buildings with metro ethernet between two buildings, including link failover, provide high reliability between sites. Our carriers drop LACP frames and most other layer-2 uplink aggregation protocols, so we used specific features on the Juniper SRX platform to implement connectivity testing on each end, with automatic route injection on failover.

We use the Juniper SRX for various purposes ranging from dedicated site-to-site VPN endpoints, to standard firewall, to all-in-one router/firewall/switching. We use the Juniper SRX for our own internal use, as well as for our clients.

We use the Juniper SRX series FWs as our edge firewalls, core FWs and VPN P2P peers. We use these in our dept, other dept and divisions make their own decisions on products and vendors to suit their specific needs. The SRX provides us the security we require at a price point much better than other options. Once the learning curve is leveled out, the easy of use for making changes or undoing changes is far greater than other manufactures methods. In a 24/7/365 environment, it's critical that changes be made in a timely manner with minimum errors, Junos provides a great way to validate the change and an automated rollback if any unintended outcomes occur.

We have multiple clients that are utilizing Juniper SRXs that we administer, some of which are used for specific depts/uses some of which are for an entire Branch. The business problems that this addresses is perimeter security, allowing you to block traffic based off IP and port.
