Network Controllers

Infranet Controller 4000 and 6000

Juniper Network’s infranet controller 4000 and 6000, and the accompanying software and infranet agent, are components for the enterprise network.

The controllers use a combination of identity-based policy and endpoint intelligence to give enterprises real-time visibility and policy control throughout the network so that IT departments can control access, prevent threats, ensure compliance, and deliver secure and assured network services.

The infranet controller 4000 targets medium enterprises or remote branch offices. It can scale up to handle thousands of concurrent endpoints, and can be deployed in cluster pairs. In comparison, the infranet controller 6000 is designed for the large enterprise. It can handle tens of thousands of concurrent endpoints.

It is field upgradable, has a hot swappable power supply, and can be deployed in multi-unit clusters.
