Features and Benefits

VNF Flexibility

Unlike traditional CPE devices that inhibit agility, the NFX Series is

highly scalable, supporting multiple concurrent VNFs on a single

device. This substantially reduces upfront CapEx and software

costs, establishing a flexible consumption model for on-demand

network services from the cloud. The NFX Series features Open

vSwitch, an open-source network automation and switching

framework that intelligently manages service chaining. Open

vSwitch effectively optimizes data traffic flow within the NFX Series

platforms, providing consistent VNF service functions and

improving performance to minimize service interruptions.

Security and Reliability

The NFX Series offers a complete suite of NGFW, unified threat

management (UTM), and threat intelligence services. These consist

of intrusion prevention system (IPS), application security

(AppSecure), user role-based firewall controls, on-box and cloudbased

antivirus and zero-day detection, antispam, and enhanced

Web filtering, protecting your network from the latest contentborne

threats, exploits, and malware. Security Intelligence (SecIntel)

provides threat intelligence and offers adaptive threat protection

against command and control (C&C) related botnets and policy

enforcement based on GeoIP and attacker fingerprinting

technology (the latter providing Web application protection)—all

based on Juniper-provided feeds. Customers may also leverage

their own custom and third-party feeds to defend against advanced

malware and other threats.
