HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center
As applications, AI workloads, and data spread across data centres and clouds, HPE Networking embeds AI-native security into the fabric itself, delivering consistent Zero Trust protection, simplified operations, and uncompromising performance at scale.
Uncompromising performance
HPE Networking delivers high-performance security with industry-leading throughput, high-density connectivity, line-rate MACsec encryption, and scale-out architectures that allow organizations to expand security capacity elastically as their data centre grows.
Secure every entry point
Protect north-south traffic with a full-stack security architecture that combines SRX firewalls, MX routers with SPC3 security services, and scale-out security designs. Inspect applications, stop threats, secure encrypted traffic, and scale protection as data centre traffic, AI workloads, and connectivity demands grow.
Enforce Zero Trust at the workload level
Extend security beyond the perimeter by embedding enforcement directly into the EVPN-VXLAN fabric. Built on a common Junos OS and shared EVPN-VXLAN architecture, SRX firewalls and QFX switches work together to secure east-west traffic, enable microsegmentation, and enforce consistent Zero Trust policies across physical, virtual, containerised, and cloud environments.
Protect distributed data centres and cloud connectivity
Secure the critical links connecting data centres, disaster recovery sites, and public clouds. Combining vSRX and cSRX with MX routers and SPC3 services protects inter-site traffic, strengthens business continuity architectures, and helps ensure resilience against DDoS attacks and other network threats.
Apply one security policy everywhere
Maintain a consistent security posture across Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, and on-premises environments. vSRX and cSRX extend the same security services, intelligence, and policy framework used at the data centre edge into cloud-native deployments, simplifying operations and reducing security fragmentation.

HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution FAQs
What is HPE Networking's Zero Trust Data Center security solution?
HPE Networking's Zero Trust Data Center security solution helps organizations secure modern hybrid data centres by embedding security into the network itself. Through a Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture, it delivers consistent protection across data centre, cloud, virtual, and containerized environments using distributed enforcement, centralized policy management, and AI-native threat prevention. Combining industry-leading security efficacy with high-performance, scalable security architectures, HPE Networking enables organizations to protect applications, workloads, and data without compromising network performance while simplifying operations across hybrid environments.
What are the benefits of the HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution?
Benefits of the HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution include:
- Scale out like never before
Scale horizontally and elastically, regardless of form factor, and manage all firewalls as one logical unit for near-infinite scale without complexity. With HPE Networking distributed architecture you can remove single points of failure and limitations associated with chassis size and form factor. - A unified platform and a single policy framework
Create policies once and apply them across all environments (hybrid, cloud, on-premises) and firewalls of all form factors via a unified platform. These policies are dynamic, follow the applications and data regardless of location, and are aligned with user and device policies. With Juniper, you get unbroken visibility, policy configuration, administration, and collective threat intelligence using a single interface. - High-security efficacy with performance
Security should never slow down your network or negatively impact user experience. With HPE Networking, you no longer have to choose between performance and security. For the past five years, multiple third-party tests have consistently validated HPE Networking SRX Firewalls as the most effective security technology on the market, with over 99% security efficacy across all use cases. Our latest SRX firewalls are ultra-high-performance, compact, and power-efficient. - Threat-aware network
HPE Networking integrates security across all platforms from Layers 2-7 of the OSI model, turning the network into sensor and enforcement points. With the HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution, you can stop compromise and lateral movement at every point of connection in your network, reducing the overall impact of data breaches.
Who should deploy the HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution?
Any organization, big or small, looking to secure its centers of data and operationalize Zero Trust across its network without worrying about scalability, efficacy, and performance should deploy the HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution. It leverages your existing investments and allows you to orchestrate, provision, and manage security deployments and extend all existing policies efficiently and effectively to new environments via a single user interface.
What use cases does HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution support?
- DC WAN gateway (DC access protection): Control who and what can access your data center's resources—data, applications, and services. The DC WAN gateway is the first line of defense, and access policies must align with user policies at the edge.
- Intra-DC (east-west traffic and segmentation): Create microsegments that limit the impact of a successful attack to prevent attackers from moving laterally inside on-premises or cloud DCs.
- Cloud/DC interconnect (application connectivity and data exchange): Control data flow while optimizing scale. Secure data in transit between data center locations, whether between two cloud data centers or between an on-premises and a cloud DC.
- Public cloud (application access and data exchange): Many public cloud environments offer their own native security controls, but within Zero Trust, access to public cloud resources must align with application access policies in your other data center environments.
What are the components of the HPE Networking Zero Trust Data Center security solution?
- HPE Networking Security Director: Provides a simple and seamless firewall management experience across on-premises, cloud-based, cloud-delivered, and hybrid security deployments. You get unbroken visibility, policy configuration, administration, and collective threat intelligence all in one place using a single interface.
- HPE Networking SRX Firewalls: Industry-leading, high-performance next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) with proven security efficacy. These firewalls protect critical data and applications and secure access by enforcing and aligning policies across all data center environments, including private, public, and cloud-native. SRX firewalls are available in physical, virtual, and containerized form factors and are all managed via a single user interface.
- HPE Networking Advanced Threat Prevention: The threat intelligence hub for the network, featuring a litany of built-in advanced threat services that use the power of AI and machine learning to detect attacks and optimize enforcement. Our ATP finds and blocks commodity and zero-day malware within files, IP traffic, and DNS requests. The service assesses risk from encrypted and decrypted network traffic and connecting devices, including IoT. It distributes that intelligence throughout the network to stop attacks and drastically decrease the attack surface before a breach occurs.
