Check Point delivers new Power-1 appliances
Check Point today announced the launch of Check Point Power-1, a new line of Internet security appliances offering high-performance sites a simple, robust, and easy to manage security solution. Power-1 appliances combine firewall, IPSec, VPN and intrusion prevention with advanced acceleration technologies, delivering a high-performance security platform for multi-Gbps environments. Power-1 appliances provides performance up to 14 Gbps firewall throughput, delivering the most cost-efficient firewall for high performance environments—a price/performance ratio under $4 per Mbps.
With a 6.1 Gbps intrusion prevention speed, customers also gain the ability to stop application layer threats at industry-leading speeds. Consequently, organizations facing application security threats, such as worms or buffer overflows, will be able to stop them while maintaining high performance for business critical applications.
Multiple Power-1 appliances can be centrally managed with other Check Point security gateways through a single console, thus simplifying network security management and reducing administrative costs.
