Features
Industry leading security gateway appliances
The
IP appliances are industry leading security gateways used by 100% of
Fortune 100. They are built for rapid deployment and high performance.
The wide range of IP models allow customers to choose networking,
performance and redundancy options.
Support market-leading Check Point security software
The IP appliances run security functionality such as Firewall, VPN and Intrusion Prevention (IPS)
from Check Point. They enable corporations ranging from small offices
to carrier-class to secure their Internet communications and remote
access control with market-leading security solutions from Check Point.
Accelerated Data Path (ADP) Modules
The Check Point Accelerated Data (ADP)
modules are hardware options that can be inserted into IP Appliances to
improve traffic performance and extend appliance utilization. With ADP,
CPU workloads can be shared between the main processor and the ADP
module processor to increase performance without having to completely
replace existing hardware.

Advanced Routing and Networking
IP
Appliances incorporate advanced routing protocols that support a broad
range of traffic types including PIM, RIP, OSFP and BGP. It also
supports traffic monitoring and error handling to enable remote
troubleshooting, capacity planning and configuration management.
High Performance and High Availability Clustering
To help ensure business continuity and balanced performance, several
high availability solutions are available for IP appliances. Virtual
Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and patented IP Appliance clustering
technology provide robust and scalable high availability for IP appliances.
These technologies allow several independent IP appliances to join
together for a common security goal as one virtual machine.
Network Voyager
Check Point Network Voyager
offers web-based configuration, monitoring and management, allowing
network administrators to manage IP Appliances remotely through a
feature rich GUI. From the Network Voyager interface, administrators
can easily manage hardware, OS and application deployment, networking,
routing, troubleshoot systems or optimize a configuration, manage high
availability, set role-based administration and monitor network traffic
and IP appliance health.
Interface Options
Check Point IP Appliances come with a large portfolio of interface
options including copper and fiber Ethernet with a range of port
density and performance options up to 10Gbps and T1 WAN. They also come
with storage options: HDD, flash or hybrid
Carrier Grade Serviceability and Redundancy
Optionally
available IP appliance clustering enables maintenance updates through
workload redistribution. Administrators can perform transparent
"rolling upgrades," in which nodes are gracefully removed from the
cluster, upgraded, and reinserted, all without any disruption to
end-user operations. Other features include: Hot swappable hard drives,
fans, and power supplies available in some models; Easy access design
(slide out trays, slide in cards); Retrofit ADP modules to extend the appliance's performance; DC power supplies available in some models.
Horizon Manager
The optionally available Horizon Manager
helps security administrators more efficiently and proactively manage
large-scale deployments of IP appliances while preventing common
configuration errors. It ensures the optimal deployment, monitoring,
maintenance, and recovery of IP security appliances. Administrators can
manage operating system and Check Point Security Gateway software
configuration from a single console.
