For years Tobias Lachmann posted a list of Check Point hardware, for the last time on July 30th 2015. I am continuing and extending the list for the new appliances. Therefore I need your contribution. If you have an appliance at your fingers please be so kind to issue these commands
cat /proc/cpuinfo > lachmann.txt
cat /proc/meminfo >> lachmann.txt
and sent the file lachmann.txt with the appliance type as subject to lachmannlist@fink.sh. I will try to update the list by time.

Updates:

  • CPU and Memory for 1450 & 1470 (Thanks to Florian Hildinger)

SKO: New Check Point Appliances // VSX becomes adult

I am on my journey back from the Barcelona Sales Kick-Off of Check Point. We were presented the new appliances and while sitting at the airport I realize that they are already on the website. These are the new appliances: 3100, 5100 and 5900. The 5900 is really exciting with up to 32 GB RAM and dual hot-swap HDD or SSD. This system seem to fit perfectly between 5800 and 15400.

VSX R77.30 is quite a good implementation with some annoying flaws – but really worth using it. The now announced features for VSX in R80.10 and beyond will make it even a by far more mature OS. I am really looking forward to the first implementations. Stay tuned.
