Check Point VSX
Check Point VSX enable organizations to consolidate infrastructure in high-performance environments, such as large campuses or data centers, by virtualizing physical network components into one physical device. They include firewall, Virtual Private Network (VPN), URL filtering and intrusion prevention technology (IPS).
Hardware cost savings and comprehensive security via a virtual platform
- Consolidate hundreds of security gateways into one physical device;
- Includes firewall, IPS, URL filtering, IPSec and SSL VPN;
- Increased hardware utilization and reduced power, space and cooling.
Simplified management and flexible deployment
- Service multiple customers, groups and business units from a single system;
- Centralized management unifies both physical and virtual management;
- Flexible deployment—open platforms and full line of turnkey appliances;
High availability and easy scalability
- Easily add and extend virtual systems without purchasing more hardware;
- Delivers linear scalability, load sharing and multi-gigabit performance;
- Cost-efficiency, redundancy and performance via ClusterXL and SecureXL.
Scalable Virtual Environment
With VSX—deployed as VSX Software or VSX turnkey appliances—administrators can create virtualized implementations of conventional physical topologies and designs. This delivers scalability while dramatically reducing hardware investment, space requirements and maintenance costs.
Flexible Virtual Connectivity
Virtual routers and switches can forward traffic between networks located behind virtual systems, much in the same manner as their physical counterparts. VSX supports many routing scenarios, enabling flexible network connectivity.
High Performance Security
VSX employ Check Point-patented SecureXL security acceleration, enabling maximum performance from open servers and appliances.
Comprehensive Security Services
Based on FireWall-1 and SmartDefense intrusion prevention technologies, VSX provides comprehensive protection to multiple networks or VLANs within complex infrastructures, securely connecting them to shared resources.
Proven, Mature Security Management Architecture
VSX is managed with Check Point SmartCenter and Multi-Domain Security Management solutions—providing powerful tools for centrally configuring, managing, and monitoring.
Service Provider Enablement
VSX delivers security service provisioning at the click of a button, enabling service providers to monetize virtual security service offerings at the lowest possible cost.
