Understanding Firefly Perimeter
Firefly Perimeter is a virtual security appliance that provides security and networking services at the perimeter or edge in virtualized private or public cloud environments. Firefly Perimeter runs as a virtual machine (VM) on a standard x86 server.
Firefly Perimeter enables advanced security and routing at the network edge in a multitenant virtualized environment. Firefly Perimeter is built on Junos OS and delivers similar networking and security features available on SRX Series devices for the branch.
Some of the key benefits of Firefly Perimeter in virtualized private or public cloud multitenant environments include:
- Stateful firewall protection at the tenant edge
- Faster deployment of virtual firewalls
- Full routing, Virtual Private Network (VPN) and networking capabilities
- Complementary with the Juniper Networks Firefly Host for inter-VM security
- Centralized and local management
