I'd be curious to hear how/if this will affect the future of the SRX product line and what your thoughts are.

Since JUNIER SPACE was already announced as a management platform that could manage both physical and virtual switches, I suspect this is a move to do the same with firewalls.

I suspect we well see a blending of the products, where the hardware firewalls inherit some of the features of the Altor product.. As for how the virtual product will develop is anyone's guess.

We will see, and hopefully we can make some  test it of it
