Check Point 12000 Appliances

The 12000 Appliances are next generation security gateways designed to boost the performance of the Check Point Software Blades.

With its multi-core security technology, high port density and high-availability features, the 12000 appliances are ideally suited to provide comprehensive protection against emerging threats for large networks and business-critical network segments in large enterprises and datacenters. Delivering up to 1861 SecurityPower Units and up to 30 Gbps and 17 Gbps in Firewall and IPS throughputs respectively, the 12000 Appliances confidently support multiple Software Blades in providing customized protection to meet your specific business security needs.

Optional clustering and serviceable components enables maintenance updates through workload redistribution. Administrators can perform transparent "rolling upgrades" in which nodes are gracefully removed from the cluster, upgraded, and reinserted, all without any disruption to services.

The optional Light-Out Management (LOM) module provides out-of-band remote management abilities such as remote diagnostic and remote reboot of the appliance. It ensures the appliance can be quickly brought back online should there be an unforeseen event that disrupted the service.

The Check Point 12000 Appliance offers a complete and consolidated security solution in a 1U or 2U form factor based on the Check Point Software Blade architecture. Available in four software packages, the platform provides up-to-date and extensible security protection.

• Next Generation Firewall (NGFW): identify and control applications by user and scan content to stop threats—with IPS and Application Control.
• Next Generation Data Protection (NGDP): preemptively protect sensitive information from unintentional loss, educate users on proper data handling policies and empower them to remediate incidents in real-time—with IPS, Application Control and DLP.
• Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP): apply multiple layers of protection to prevent sophisticated cyber-threats—with IPS, Application Control, Antivirus, Anti-Bot, URL Filtering and Email Security.
• Secure Web Gateway (SWG): enables secure use of Web 2.0 with real time multi-layered protection against web-borne malware—with Application Control, URL Filtering, Antivirus and SmartEvent.

¹ Check Point's SecurityPower is a new benchmark metric that allows customers to select security appliances by their capacity to handle real-world network traffic, multiple security functions and a typical security policy.
