The Juniper Networks Secure Access 700 (SA 700) SSL VPN appliance provides small to medium enterprises a secure, cost-effective way to deploy remote access to the corporate network. Because the SA 700 uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to provide encrypted transport, it enables instant remote access from just a Web browser. This clientless architecture eliminates the high cost of installing, configuring, and maintaining client software on every device, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership versus traditional VPN solutions. SSL delivery also eliminates the Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall traversal issues encountered with traditional remote access products, allowing your remote users reliable and ubiquitous access from external networks such as home or hotels.
The Juniper Networks Secure Access 2000 (SA 2000) SSL VPN enables small- to medium-sized companies to deploy cost-effective remote and extranet access, as well as intranet security. Users can access the corporate network and applications from any standard Web browser. The SA 2000 uses SSL, the security protocol found in all standard Web browsers, as a secure access transport mechanism. The use of SSL eliminates the need for client-software deployment, changes to internal servers, and costly ongoing maintenance.
The Juniper Networks Secure Access 4000 (SA 4000) SSL VPNs enable mid-to-large-sized organizations to provide cost-effective remote and partner extranet access from any standard Web browers. Based on the award-winning IVE platform, the SA 4000 appliances feature rich access-privilege management functionality, that can be used to create secure customer/partner extranets with no infrastructure changes, no DMZ deployments, and no software agents. This functionality also allows the enterprise to secure access to the corporate intranet, so that different employee and visitor populations can utilize exactly the resources they need, while adhering to enterprise-security policies. Built-in compression for all traffic types speeds performance, and SSL acceleration is available via a software license for more demanding environments.
The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 (SA 6000) SSL VPN appliances is designed for medium to large enterprises and features best-in-class performance, scalability, and redundancy for organizations with high-volume secure access and authorization requirements. The SA 6000 hardware platform is designed to scale to the largest enterprise deployments and to optimize application delivery, with available options that include redundant hot swappable hard disks, power supplies and fans, as well as GBIC-based multiple Ethernet ports for redundant or meshed configurations. The SA 6000 appliance also features a state-of-the-art SSL acceleration chipset to speed CPU-intensive encrypt/decrypt processes, as well as built in compression for all traffic.
The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 SP is the industry's first SSL VPN platform with comprehensive virtualization designed to enable Service Providers (SPs) to deliver network-based SSL VPN services to multiple enterprises of any size from a single appliance/cluster. Combining Juniper Networks expertise in working with Service Providers with the industry-leading Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform, the Secure Access 6000 SP platform provides SPs with a sophisticated, end-to-end virtualization framework that is optimized for highly available and highly scalable network-based SSL VPN managed services.
Using industry recognized stateful detection and prevention techniques, Juniper Networks IDP provides zero-day protection against worms, Trojans, spyware, keyloggers, and other malware from penetrating the network and spreading from already infected users to others.

The Juniper Networks NetScreen-200 series includes two enterprise network products: the NetScreen-204 appliance with four 10/100 interfaces, and the NetScreen-208 appliance with eight 10/100 interfaces. Together, they are among the most versatile security appliances available today, easily integrating into many different environments, including medium to large enterprise networks, offices, e-business sites, data centers, and carrier infrastructures. Complete with either four or eight auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports, the NetScreen-200 series performs firewall functions at wire speed (375 Mbps). Even the most computationally intense applications, such as 3DES and AES encryption, are performed at speeds up to 175 Mbps. In addition to physical interface density, the NetScreen-200 series optionally supports virtualization, including VLAN support and additional custom security zones and virtual routers.
The Juniper Networks NetScreen-5000 series is a line of purpose-built, high-performance firewall/VPN security systems designed to deliver a new level of high-performance capabilities for large enterprise, carrier, and data center networks. The NetScreen-5000 series consists of two products: the 2-slot NetScreen-5200 system and the 4-slot NetScreen-5400 system. NetScreen-5000 security systems integrate firewall, VPN, DoS and DDoS protection, and traffic-management functionality, in a low-profile modular chassis. Built around Juniper's third-generation security ASIC and distributed system architecture, the NetScreen-5000 series offers excellent scalability and flexibility, while providing a higher level security system through Juniper Networks NetScreen ScreenOS custom operating system. Both products employ a switch fabric for data exchange and separate multibus channel for control information, delivering scalable performance for the most demanding environments.
The Juniper Networks NetScreen-500 system is a purpose-built, integrated security system that provides a flexible, high-performance solution for medium and large enterprise central sites and service providers.
