Streamlining Security Deployments with Juniper Validated Designs Solution Brief
Deploy more quickly and confidently, improve outcomes, and save valuable time
Discover how Juniper Validated Designs (JVDs) for security can help you design and deploy an optimal networking solution
THE CHALLENGE
Navigating the complex landscape of security deployments
As networks become increasingly complex and distributed, IT professionals face evolving security challenges that span multiple domains. Network and security teams must protect information, infrastructure, and services from both legacy and emerging threats amid mounting pressures. They are tasked with deploying effective security solutions by maintaining consistent postures across all segments, adapting to changing threat landscapes, managing increased traffic without compromising performance, ensuring regulatory compliance, and implementing Zero Trust models—all while avoiding operational disruption.
THE CAPABILITIES YOU NEED
JVDs are comprehensive, end-to-end blueprints for deploying Juniper solutions in your network
Operationalize security across the entire network
Security operators taking on architectural transformations must do so without compromising the user experience or increasing the risk of unauthorized access to applications and data. Security JVDs help you operationalize security, adopt Zero Trust architectures, and protect the business everywhere—from the edge to the data center and back.
- Scalability
Validated designs are built out based on customer input and requirements and are tailored to meet specific common use cases at maximum scale.
- Reliability
Because JVDs are prescriptive designs used by multiple customers across various industries, all JVD customers benefit from lessons learned through lab testing and real-world deployments.
- Velocity
JVDs have clearly defined performance profiles to help you make informed decisions about your network, resulting in up to 9x faster deployments.
- Predictability
JVDs undergo a rigorous testing framework to achieve validation with ongoing, automated verification in each new release.

CORE CAPABILITIES
JVDs minimize operational costs while reducing your IT burden and accelerating time to value
Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) in data centers
Optimized performance: JVDs ensure that next-generation firewall deployments are optimized for high-throughput environments, maintaining security without compromising data center performance.
Scalable security fabric: The distributed security services architecture allows for horizontal and elastic scaling, enabling businesses to adapt their security posture as data center needs evolve.
Simplified management: JVDs provide templates for rapid-scale deployments, reducing the complexity of managing security across distributed data center environments.
WAN edge security
AI-driven insights: Juniper Mist WAN Assurance, integrated with JVDs, offers AI-powered visibility into WAN performance and security, enabling proactive issue resolution.
Seamless SD-WAN integration: JVDs for WAN edge incorporate security into SD-WAN deployments, ensuring protected connectivity without sacrificing agility.
Zero touch provisioning: JVDs enable rapid deployment of secure WAN edge devices, reducing time-to-value for new branch locations.
Data center security
Comprehensive threat prevention: JVDs for data centers include advanced threat prevention measures, protecting critical assets from sophisticated attacks.
Microsegmentation: The validated designs enable fine-grained segmentation within data centers, limiting the potential impact of breaches.
Automated security operations: Integration with Juniper Apstra allows for automated security policy enforcement across the data center fabric.
Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT)
Optimized address utilization: JVDs for CGNAT provide best practices for maximizing IPv4 address utilization while maintaining security and compliance.
Reduced P2P traffic issues: By incorporating Endpoint Independent Mapping (EIM-NAT), JVDs help mitigate common CGNAT-related issues with peer-to-peer applications.
IPv6 transition support: JVDs offer guidance on integrating CGNAT with IPv6 transition technologies, like MAP-T, for future-proofing network investments.
OUR ADVANTAGE
JVDs: faster, smarter, more secure
The JVD program develops solutions that reduce complexity for networking teams, helping them:
- Qualify solutions faster with tested architectures for building networks with well-documented capabilities and product/software release guidance
- Reduce risk with products, features, and topologies based on best practices and common use cases
- Achieve predictable, repeatable results with designs that have been validated at scale to ensure you will have faster, more reliable deployments
