Check Point VSX-1 Appliances To Extend Security Virtualisation

Check Point Software Technologies, a player in the Internet security space, has announced a new line of Check Point appliances, VSX-1, providing businesses dedicated devices for multi-layer, multi-domain virtualised security. VSX-1 allows enterprises, data centres and service providers to consolidate up to 150 security gateways with firewall, IPsec and SSL virtual private network (VPN), intrusion prevention, VoIP security and URL filtering on a single device.

“As virtualisation goes mainstream and becomes an integral part of the IT infrastructure, there are increasing opportunities for IT services to help customers implement and support this expanding technology. By deploying VSX-1 appliances and consolidating security gateways, customers not only increase device utilisation and conserve power, space and cooling without compromising security, but also increase the scalability and efficiency of their security infrastructure,” said Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, country manager, India & SAARC, Check Point Software Technologies.

Check Point VSX-1 appliance line comes in three models. The VSX-1 3070 allows up to 10 virtual security gateways and features 4.5 Gbps firewall throughput and 1.1 Gbps VPN throughput. The VSX-1 9070 supports up to 150 security gateways and features 13.5 Gbps firewall throughput and 3.5 Gbps VPN throughput. Similarly, the VSX-1 9090 also supports up to 150 firewalls; however, it features 27 Gbps throughput and 7 Gbps VPN throughput. Each virtual gateway within a VSX-1 appliance provides the same protection as physical Check Point security gateways and integrates fully into Check Point’s central management console.
