About the NSM Appliances
NSMXpress and NSM3000 are appliance versions of Network and Security Manager
(NSM) and run NSM 2010.4. NSM appliances simplify the complexity of network
administration by providing single, integrated management interfaces that control device
parameters.
These robust hardware management systems install in minutes with full high availability
(HA) support, making it easy to scale and deploy. Enterprise customers with limited
resources can benefit significantly from NSM appliances because it eliminates the need
to have dedicated resources for maintaining a network and security management solution.
NSM appliances make it easy for administrators to control device configuration, network
settings, and security policy settings for multiple families of Juniper Networks devices
including:
•
IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances and Firewall and VPN devices
running ScreenOS.
• Devices running Junos OS, such as J Series Services Routers, SRX Series Services
Gateways, EX Series Ethernet Switches, M Series Multiservice Edge Routers, and MX
Series Ethernet Services routers.
•
SA Series SSL VPN Appliances
• IC Series Unified Access Control Appliances
For a complete list of supported device families and platforms, see the Network and
Security Manager Administration Guide .
Up to 10 administrators can log into an NSM appliance concurrently.
