Benefits of investing in Check Point's Power-1 11000 'field upgradeable' system architecture

Check Point’s innovative Power-1 11000 delivers the industry’s first ‘field upgradeable’ system architecture. Its unique ability to expand its system capacity with simple software license upgrades has been widely welcome as a way to future-proof security infrastructures.

With a few key strokes the customers can easily add up to 100% additional capacity to their existing Power-1 11000 systems (see figure below). Customers can purchase the Power-1 11065 (system capacity of 15 Gbps) and upgrade to Power-1 11075 or 11085 ‘on-demand’ whenever the need arises.

Typical network capacity calculations are done to match available financial budgets while still allowing 30-50% ‘head room’ for the future. But, it is easy to lose this head room overnight; some examples:

  1. Roll out of new applications that require additional overall bandwidth
  2. Changing corporate policy that requires more in-depth security handling
  3. Network expansion (additional employees or consolidation of two or more locations)

Customers using the Power-1 11065 get the performance and scalability without any network down time and that too at a cost that is a fraction of a brand new security appliance.
