The SRX-series services gateway is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class device. It features multiprocessor architecture optimized for JUNOS software.
By installing different combinations of I/O Cards (IOCs) and Services Processing Cards (SPCs), you can tailor both the number of Gigabit ports and the maximum security processing capacity to suit your network.
The following table compares the SRX 5600 and SRX 5800 services gateways:
Two types of IOCs are available, both of which consist of four Packet Forwarding Engines and enable a throughput of 10 Gbps:
The SRX 5600 services gateway chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully redundant, including power supplies, fan trays, and Switch Control Boards.
