Firewall Advice - Looking at Juniper
Hello everyone!
I need to protect about 80 servers from certain attacks some of them are being victim of. Altogether, these servers use about 200Mbps being almost all of them webservers. The last time, one of them was a victim of a DDoS attack which made all the rest get some packet loss (because this attack was consuming all the bandwidth we had available).
I was looking at Juniper solutions, however I get a bit confused with all the products they have to offer. First, I was looking at IDP series, but they seem a bit pricey and I believe I donīt need all those IDP functions those devices are capable of. NetScreen is also too expensive for me. Iīm looking at a budget of 10.000$ aprox.
I found SRX series and after taking a look at SRX240 and SRX650 specs (http://www.juniper.net/us/en/product.../srx240/#specs), those firewall numbers seem very nice and perfect for my problem. Would this be a wise choice? This device would act also as the main router for our racks. Please let me know if there are other recommendations that fit the specified budget (10K).
Thank You.
