Junos Device Manager for CSDS
Learn about Junos Device Manager (JDM) for Connected Security and Distributed Services (CSDS) architecture and its benefits.
What is JDM
Junos Device Manager (JDM) is a Linux container that provides virtualized root file system in a Junos OS-like CLI environment. The CSDS solution uses JDM to orchestrate vSRX Virtual Firewalls on baremetal server with Ubuntu Operating System (OS). If your CSDS services layer only includes physical SRX Series Firewalls, you don't need JDM.
Benefits of JDM
-
Leverages open source software—Uses the existing open source Ubuntu root file system that serves as the foundation for JDM making adaptation easier.
-
Simplified orchestration capabilities—Provides simple Junos-like CLI interface to configure and spawn vSRX Virtual Firewalls ensuring ease of use.
-
Unified management—Integrates into Junos Node Unifier (JNU) topology as JNU Satellite, making easier manageability with single touchpoint JNU unified CLI management solution.
-
Optimized resource allocation—Fetches baremetal server capabilities and allocates resources optimally to virtual instances enhancing system performance.
