My concern with running this box in a production service provider environment, particularly in Metro-E rings, is that software stability hasn't been great based on lots of feedback from folks on this list.
Granted that something like a ring topology might be stretching the device a bit; OTOH we use them in L3VPN scenarios without problems.
They lack a bunch of stuff I'd like, but they're cheap cheap cheap!
Suffice it to say, if Juniper are seriously pushing this box as a security platform, who's to say what they'll do with it 2, 3 years out, just like what happened with the good ol' J- series and Junos-ES? Big disappointment!
Very true. On the other hand, the SRX (well, 210s at least) are very very cheap. If the difference in cost is of the order of a few thousand £s, buying them and junking them if/when Juniper screw them up could be a win. Assuming they don't screw them up tomorrow, that is...
