Juniper's IDP range of 1RU chassis-mounted intrusion detection and prevention systems are very well constructed and based along relatively standard hardware designs. As most people are now aware, Juniper Networks earlier this year purchased Netscreen, a large IT security system vendor. Juniper networks traditionally was a networking equipment vendor -- routers, DSLAMs, and so on, concentrating on large carrier-grade networks. The acquisition of Netscreen has now augmented Juniper's range of network security products. The IDP-10 can run at a 10Mbps speed, the IDP-100 at 100Mbps, and so on, through to the IDP-1000 at 1Gbps.
Overall, Juniper provides a very scalable and robust solution with it range of IDP machines. This solution should definitely be on the shortlist for any enterprise with a large distributed network that may need different speeds or classes of IPS solutions in different locations. It has the added benefit and reduced administration overhead of having a centralised management and administration console.
