Training Lab 1 - Check Point Appliance Sizing Tool
Check Point has a broad range of security solutions. In order to help partners
know which product best fits their customer’s needs, we developed an innovative
tool.
The
Appliance Sizing Tool
enables partners to select the right appliance for their
customer based on its specific environment and security needs. Check Point’s
unique benchmark measurement for appliance performance is called Security
Power Units (SPU). Each appliance has a unique SPU value which measures the
capability and capacity of the appliance to perform multiple advanced security
functions.
SecurityPower
provides an effective metric in evaluating an appliance. It is an
analysis of behavior and prediction of future behavior under security attacks and
in day-to-day operation. As opposed to the traditional firewall throughput
measurement, SecurityPower is measured using real world customer traffic blend,
with multiple advanced security functions (such as Intrusion Prevention (IPS),
Application Control, Antivirus, DLP) and a security policy which is typically
found at customer deployments.
