Blazing-fast gateways deliver best-in-class performance and superior multi-layer security
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd., the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, recently announced the launch of two new security gateways that extend the company’s best-in-class data centre network security portfolio. The new 13800 Appliance extends the 13000 line while the 21800 augments the 21000 Appliance family.
Today’s data centres and enterprises demand high network performance and have growing needs for more bandwidth. They also require dynamic, multi-layer security to protect against new and evolving threats and attacks. The 13800 offers industry-leading security protections and advanced performance, with up to 3,800 SecurityPower™ units (SPU) and 6.5 Gbps of real-life IPS throughput. The 21800 Appliance delivers up to 4,300 SPU and 7 Gbps of real-life IPS throughput, supplies the low latency required by the most demanding network environments, and provides high reliability and serviceability to minimise maintenance costs.
