Partnership Through Check Point's OPSEC(TM) Alliance to Deliver Enhanced Manageability and Flexibility to IT and Security Administrators SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Leveraging Check Point's OPSEC™ (Open Platform for Security) Alliance, Jareva Technologies, Inc. today announced plans to develop a complete solution for secure and flexible Internet security infrastructure deployments. Targeted to large-scale enterprises and service providers, this automated solution will not only help companies quickly ramp up IT security, but will save companies time and money by dramatically reducing time spent on firewall deployment and integration. A first for the industry, corporations and service providers currently managing Internet security manually now will be able to automatically provision and manage Check Point's Next Generation (NG) Internet security solutions remotely on servers managed by Jareva's OpForce Infrastructure Automation Suite. The world's first extensible operations automation platform for servers, network elements, and network attached storage, OpForce is known for its ability to automatically provision and manage any supported operating system and software stack on any compatible hardware, at any time, from anywhere. "We're joining with Check Point's OPSEC Alliance to deliver to the market new levels of dynamic VPN and firewall control and provisioning,'' said Jagadish Bandhole, chief executive officer for Jareva. ``VPN and firewall deployments are an integral part of Internet computing infrastructure and now these network elements can be setup and managed as part of Jareva's infrastructure provisioning solutions." "Check Point customers will benefit from the integration of provisioning and management functionality of Jareva's OPForce Systems with Check Point NG," said Upesh Patel, manager of the OPSEC Alliance for Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP). Bandhole added that Jareva is continually adding support for best-of-breed network elements, whether they are software (such as Check Point NG software) or appliances (such as the ``Secured by Check Point'' appliances from Nokia, integrated with Check Point's NG technology). These features, leveraging the capabilities offered by Check Point's OPSEC SDK (Software Development Kit) NG, will be available during the next three months. OpForce
Infrastructure Automation Suite OpForce consists of four tightly integrated software applications built on Jareva's Elemental Platform™ -- a modular and distributed architecture for maximum availability. The platform is configured to allow companies the freedom to extend OpForce easily with their own software applications as they see fit, using Java APIs, XML APIs and Perl scripting interfaces that are written to open industry standards. The platform also complements many other infrastructure management tools and solutions on the market -- allowing customers to combine the power and flexibility of Jareva's platform with their existing systems management products. Jareva's Elemental Platform currently supports a majority of the hardware, operating systems, and network and storage solutions commonly used by enterprise and service providers today. Plus, new environments are constantly being qualified. About
