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 a bare metal server with Ubuntu OS. If your CSDS services layer only includes physical SRX Series Firewalls, you don't need JDM.

Benefits of JDM

  • Ease of adoption—Uses the existing open source Ubuntu root file system that serves as the foundation for JDM making adoption easier.

  • Simplified orchestration capabilities—Provides a simple Junos-like CLI interface to configure and spawn vSRX, ensuring ease of use.

  • Unified management—Integrates into the Junos Node Unifier (JNU) topology as a JNU satellite. The integration simplifies device management with a unified CLI-based solution using a single touchpoint.

  • Optimized resource allocation—Fetches bare metal server capabilities and allocates resources optimally to virtual instances, enhancing system performance.
