Juniper Networks Delivers Security At Massive Scale For Cloud Services, Mega Data Centers: Page 4 of 4

ii Juniper comparison against competitive products, conducted October 2009. Juniper's SRX5800 handles firewall throughput of 120 Gbps and intrusion prevention services at 30 Gbps, compared to just 20 Gbps firewall throughput for the Cisco 5580 (which has no intrusion prevention support) and just 4 Gbps of intrusion prevention throughput for the Cisco IPS4270.

iii Juniper comparison against competitive products, conducted October 2009. Power savings is measured by firewall throughput per watt. Juniper's SRX5600 uses 2,400 watts (maximum) to deliver 60 Gbps firewall throughput, while Cisco's 5580-20 uses 800 watts (maximum) to deliver 10 Gbps firewall throughput - thus requiring six Cisco firewalls to get 60 Gbps, or 4,800 watts. Space savings is measured by firewall throughput per rack space. Juniper's SRX5600 consumes 8RU to deliver 60 Gbps firewall throughput, while Cisco's 5580-20 consumes 4RU to deliver 10 Gbps firewall throughput - thus requiring six Cisco firewalls to get 60 Gbps, or 24RU.

iv Juniper comparison against competitive products, conducted October 2009. Reflects 2.64 Tbit/s throughput for Juniper's MX960 3D versus 1 Tbit/s and 1.28 Tbit/s for competitors.
