Who it suits
As a rackmount unit it suits a head office, campus or data centre with a server rack. With protection switched on, plan for an internet line of no more than about two-thirds of the NGFW throughput figure. For the SRX4600 that means a line of up to about 14 Gbps.

Juniper lists a maximum of 60 million concurrent sessions and 570,000 new sessions per second.
Does the SRX4600 need a licence?
The hardware works as a basic firewall on its own. Protection features such as intrusion prevention, web filtering and anti-malware need an active Juniper subscription, and so do firmware updates and support. We quote the firewall with the licence term you choose.
Do you supply the SRX4600 with installation?
Yes. We supply it with its licence registered, install and configure it at your site, and hand over the logins and documentation. Ask for a quote on this page.
