Blue Coat Check Point For X-Series
Check Point Security Gateway on the Blue Coat X-Series

Features:

Consolidation

Blue Coat and Check Point simplify the complex by consolidating firewall appliances with associated networking equipment into one adaptable platform. An average of 100 network and firewall devices can be consolidated within one X-Series platform, reducing time, operating costs, energy consumption, and complexity. Coping with more than 100 million concurrent firewall sessions, 320,000+ new connections per second, and a real-world Firewall throughput of 140Gbps, the X-Series delivers the performance needed by the most demanding environments.

Adaptability

Many organizations do not have a clear view of what changes will occur in the future regarding performance or security requirements. The only thing that is certain is there will be change. The Blue Coat X-Series solution leverages virtualized security technology to allow organizations to deploy Check Point applications to meet today's demands and add, remove or reconfigure applications, whether from Check Point or another Blue Coat ISV partner, in the future without having to rearchitect the physical network. This flexibility allows organization to be assured that the X-Series solution will be able to support their business needs for many years to come.

Automation

The uptime demands on the network have never been higher, gone are the days when scheduled downtime were acceptable. With many organizations striving for zero-downtime network environments, the X-Series solution provides adaptive self-healing through patented technology that can use either dynamic back-up modules or prioritization to assure that if a module becomes unavailable the key security applications will remain at full capacity. The X-Series marries together superior networking, and exceptional processing with an open application architecture to create an adaptable system that can self-heal resulting in no more firewall outages.

Operational Efficiency

IT organizations are tasked to do more with less. The X-Series solution minimizes the number of devices required to secure today's fastest, most demanding networks by reducing the number of Layer 2 switches, load balancers, patch panels, cabling and power. In addition the Blue Coat Management capabilities streamlines configuration and provides visibility from the entire solution, to individual platforms, modules, flows and applications, to provide the who, what, when, where and how information needed to make precise and effective decisions that keep the network security infrastructure operating at peak performance. Combined, it is clear why organizations are moving towards a virtualized security infrastructure approach to securing the network to reduce cost and management overhead.
