Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

NFX250 Network Services Platform are Juniper Network’s secure, automated, software-driven customer premises equipment (CPE) devices that deliver virtualized network and security services on demand. Leveraging Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and built on the Juniper Cloud CPE solution, NFX250 enables service providers to deploy and service chain multiple, secure, high-performance virtualized network functions (VNFs) as a single device. This automated, software-driven solution dynamically provisions new services on demand.
