Juniper vSRX 2.0 is out

Juniper released a new version of vSRX (formerly known as Firefly Perimeter) running Junos OS 15.1X49-D15) with more features, and forwarding capacity. The latest version was Junos 12.1 , so moving to 15.1 code is a big jump…I hope it doesn’t hurt!

New Features

The following features are new in Junos OS Release 15.1X49-D15 for vSRX:

  • Naming update: the product formerly known as Firefly Perimeter is now vSRX.
  • vSRX includes DPDK packet I/O support for higher throughput.
  • SCSI virtual disk support has been added to existing IDE support for improved performance and to permit network-attached storage (NAS) integration.
  • vSRX includes SR-IOV vNIC and VMXNET3 vNIC support for greater performance and hypervisor compatibility.
  • vRAM has been increased to 4 GB and vDisk to 16 GB.
  • vSRX includes KVM Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7.0 support to take advantage of Linux improvements and tools enhancements.
  • KVM images are downloaded in qcow2 format instead of the self-extracting .jva script used in previous releases.
