Check Point 21700

The Check Point company announced in March, 2013 release of the new device 21700 having the highest indicators of security and performance for this class of the equipment. The device is placed in the compact, mounted in a rack body 2U high. In a standard configuration it shows capacity of the firewall of 78 Gbps, IPS — 25 Gbps, and the indicator of SecurityPower (SPU) is 2922 units. In the device the advanced architecture of program blades of Check Point Software Blade Architecture providing reliable multilevel protection to large enterprises and data centers is applied.

Gateways of security should have the potential for integration of a set of technologies therefore increased requirements — especially concerning capacity and computing powers are imposed to network resources today. New device 21700 is characterized by high high-speed performance and large volumes of the passed traffic that does it by the most powerful solution among other similar models with a form factor 2U.

"The new gateway of security 21700 is optimized so that to provide to clients multilevel protection in the highly productive, focused on transactions Wednesdays and to provide capacity of the firewall to 110 Gbps — Gabi Reish, the head of department of product management of Check Point company says. — The device which is the best in the class maintains high high-speed performance of network and expands functionality of a security system. It is effective in work and is extremely compact".

Device 21700 belongs to family 21000 that allows it to interact successfully with the module Security Acceleration — the hardware accelerator which is based on SecurityCore™ technology and incorporates 108 cores. When using device 21700 together with the module Security Acceleration the delay in the firewall is reduced to less than 5 microseconds, and capacity increases up to 110 Gbps. At the same time superfast VPN connection is provided, and the indicator of SPU is 3551 units. Such configuration is ideal for the Wednesdays focused on transactions.

"An opportunity to provide to clients a wide number of the devices and technologies capable to connect together separate solutions for network security and to increase performance of computer systems, strengthens our value proposition — Sandy Laney, the president and the CEO of Cadre company emphasizes. — The family of devices 21000 developed by Check Point company has extreme flexibility and processes huge amounts of data, and use of these devices in a combination with the module Security Acceleration sharply increases capacity and allows to minimize delays. Users can scale the platform of security according to their current demands".

Key features of Check Point 21700:
