Spotlight Story
Juniper SRX 5800: Biggest firewall ever

Joel Snyder By Joel Snyder and David Newman
If the Guinness Book of World Records had an entry for "biggest firewall ever," Juniper's new SRX 5800 would certainly qualify. Read full story

How we tested Juniper's SRX 5800 We assessed the Juniper SRX 5800 in terms of performance, features and usability. Because the product is marketed as a security appliance, our tests focused on security performance. We did not look at router metrics, such as BGP performance, although the SRX-5800 does have the full multiprotocol and multilayer JunOS 9.3 routing engine inside. Our security performance tests included separate sets of measurements using stateful TCP and stateless UDP traffic. For both sets of tests, we offered test traffic to 16 10-gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

Manageability problems with Juniper's firewall Our woes with Netscreen Security Manager began when we tried to use it to manage the SRX 5800. With eight years of experience using NSM in Opus One’s labs, we were looking forward to the unification of JunOS and ScreenOS management. We started out needing to change IP addresses, a common enough task. For a ScreenOS system, this takes three clicks: two clicks to see a summary interfaces and IP addresses, and third to begin editing.

NEC hits mobile worker sweet spot NEC's Univerge Unified Communications Solution package marks the intersection of stylish endpoints coveted by mobile workers with the high level of performance that arises out of the company's long history in telephony.

How we tested NEC's unified communications platform For this round of testing, the NEC Unified Communications platform was configured to provide a UC solution for a typical single office environment enterprise installation. Full redundancy for the principal servers, the SV7000 and the OW5000, was included and the deployment was equipped to support up to a maximum of 6,000 users with full voice messaging and unified communications capabilities.

Avaya offers wide array of unified communications wares There is a lot to like about Avaya's one-X Unified Communications platform. The company offers a dizzying array of UC products that enterprises can piece together to craft customized systems grounded in the company's long, solid telephony history. That said, integrating all the pieces together takes a lot of effort and may require a great deal of assistance from Avaya and its resellers.

How we tested Avaya's one-X Unified Communications platform Testing was conducted on unified communications components configured to provide UC for a network topology consisting of a main office and three branch office locations. The four-site deployment was specified to support up to 2,500 aggregate users with 2,000 of these users equipped with full voice messaging and unified communications capability. We included full redundancy for server components at the main office and three branch office locations.

Guide to VoIP: Beware of UC security threats Unified communications opens up your VoIP network to new avenues of collaboration, including instant messaging, video, business applications and e-mail. And that opens up your network to new avenues of attack.

3Com offers a safe bridge to UC for SMB market In our continuing series of Clear Choice Tests of unified communications platforms, we found 3Com's VCX IP Connect 100 and 200 telephony products hit their target: providing small to medium business with seamless voice and data messaging services .
