Check Point Achieves Performance Breakthrough with First Security Acceleration Technology to Leverage off-the-Shelf Multi-Core Processors.New CoreXL Multi Core Acceleration Technology in VPN-1 Power Delivers Deep Security Inspection without Compromising Performance ORLANDO, Fla. -- Check Point([R]) Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : CHKP CHKP Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (stock abbreviation, AMEX) ), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced VPN-1[R] Power[TM] with CoreXL. CoreXL extends the proven security found in VPN-1 Power, setting a new speed and security standard for today's corporate networks that must balance high bandwidth needs with strict security requirements. Designed specifically to leverage open multi-core architectures such as the Quad-Core Intel[R] Xeon[R] Processor 5300 Series, VPN-1 Power with CoreXL is the first network security gateway to enable security administrators to gain data center level performance while activating intrusion prevention See IPS and IDS. with a strict protection profile to protect against application layer threats. The adoption of advanced, bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP, streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. and real-time collaborative solutions, in addition to the predicted adoption to 10 gigabit per second ethernet networks, have created a demand for high-performance security solutions able to keep networks secure from worms and application vulnerabilities without performance degradation. "Combining security software with open systems running general purpose processors allows customers to benefit from rapid performance improvements coming from the world's leading chip manufacturer," said Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point Software Technologies. "VPN-1 Power with CoreXL running on open multi-core architectures provides them the flexibility to deal with new applications and threats while maintaining a predictably high level of performance. It is the only security solution in the market today that can fully leverage the performance benefits from multi-core architectures." The Core XL technology scales performance linearly using its patent-pending multi-core load sharing Distributing the workload between two or more computers. See load balancing. technologies. Along with Check Point's open performance architecture that is designed for high speed security inspection, VPN-1 Power with CoreXL accelerates security by dynamically sharing the security inspection responsibilities between all cores on a multi-core processor. Each core independently runs VPN-1 to offer faster, comprehensive security inspection. This helps customers keep a predictable performance level when new threats appear compared to closed ASIC-based systems that lock customers into hardware refresh cycles that do not align with their evolving business or network needs. . Performance Benefits VPN-1 Power with CoreXL delivers deep and comprehensive security inspection without compromising network performance by leveraging the combination of Check Point's performance architecture and the 5300 series Quad-Core Intel[R] Xeon[R] processor with the Intel PRO/1000 PT Family Server Adapters. Key performance statistics include: * 12 Gbps firewall inspection provides data center level speed for the most demanding enterprise environments * 5.3 Gbps intrusion prevention inspection with default settings provide a balance between security and performance * 1.8 Gbps intrusion prevention inspection with strict protection file offers maximum security without compromising performance Pricing and Availability Check Point VPN-1 Power with CoreXL is available immediately in limited availability When customers of the PSTN make telephone calls, they commonly make use of a telecommunications network called a switched-circuit network. In a switched-circuit network, devices known as switches are used to connect the caller to the callee. for qualified customers. For more information, visit www.checkpoint.com.
