Juniper Networks this week announced its latest entrant into the ruggedized space: the LN2600 router. The LN2600 joins the existing LN1000 in Juniper’s ruggedized lineup. The LN2600 is a new platform for Juniper, but 
similar in some respect to an existing Juniper SRX appliance.
“While the LN2600 leverages existing Juniper technologies and JUNOS, it is a net-new Juniper platform,” Robert Grasby, senior product marketing manager for the enterprise business unit at Juniper, told Enterprise Networking Planet. “The LN2600 offers similar performance characteristics to the SRX650 in a hardened and ruggedized enclosure.”
The LN2600 packs 8 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces inside of its 1U form factor. From a security perspective, the LN2600 resembles the SRX in its Stateful Packet Firewall, IPsec VPN encryption, and integrated IPS.
