SRX

The SRX5400/5600 are both at the end of their lifecycle. You can consider the SRX5800 or the more compact but capable SRX4000 series.

The 5800 is the closest to the 5600.

Thx for the reply. The reason im also asking is because im doing a comparison of statements as compared to an srx300. I want the migration to be similar. Anyone else got comments?

Hi eugene1973,

What are you going to use those for?

If you have srx300 now I would assume something like SRX4300 or SRX4600 will also do the job for you. Even SRX1600 is a really good. I have worked with all three mentioned platforms for the past two years and they are pretty solid I would say. But in my opinion when you chose hardware you must justify the need for it. SRX5000 series are super powerful and flexible platforms but do you need such a high scale?

H Petrov,

The SRX300 is very handy, but the enterprise boxes are just that, "enterprise". For what im doing the boxes above 1600 would have been the best choice. Thx for your reply.

Perhaps you'd get more replies if you specified what you actually want to know? The SRX5000 series is a whole system och components and has extreme performance capabilities when equipped correctly. It outperforms all other solutions regardless of brand when it comes to lots of areas, like L4 inspection, routing, IPsec etc. and can do massive amounts of L7 inspection, especially when using the ExpressPath+ feature (offloading security tasks to the NIC cards). The SRX4700 is the next best thing and has a vastly lower price tag, boasting 1.4 Tbps L4 performance. Do you need more than that?

I suppose the best question is about migration. I want to know how migrative the srx300 would be when used in a 5000. That and, is the upper boxes enterprise, and srx300 not enterprise. But I need some lookup time.

In general most of the configuration from a lower end SRX can be reused on a higher end one.  The main differences are higher speed (and therefore differently named) ports, the SRX being a VM on a host, instead of bare metal from midrange upwards, enhanced HA/cluster options and other additional capabilities.

This is great to know because im sure I'll run into the need. Sometimes when you find a way into industry where you think you would not wonder into, you or anyone must spend more time making it happen. I'm pretty sure a more complicated rig would make what ive been doing much easier. I'm working on VM as we speak. Java. I was a big fan of Borland for a while.

Hi,

As you state "I'm pretty sure a more complicated rig would make what ive been doing much easier"  does not make things much easier. First you can easy migrate your configuration from a "3XX device" towards any other Junos based SRX. As stated by other before, interface etc "might" change so you need to update your configuration accordingly.   Going from a 300 series devices towards a 5XXX SRX is a real big step and "overkill" if you know can run everything on a SRX3XX series device.  The higher end devices will run most services and traffic on ASICS which will be a "huge" performance boost (Where the 3XX series is running it on the "CPU (In software).   I would start looking first into things like (the amount of interfaces you need and the throughput (1/10/100 Gigabit)/ (Rackspace / power consumption) and flexibility of the chassis (SRX5XXX is fully modular which is great for "large Service Providers or Real large enterprises with specific needs). The next step would be looking which chassis will give you what you want + which one is the best "$ value" for your company.  

This is great to know because im sure I'll run into the need.
