  18. Control Processing Module (CPM) What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases • System management • Provides out-of-band management of chassis • Centralized configuration of all elements in the system • Provision applications based on configuration • Ensures desired configuration • Health monitoring • Continuously checks health of APMs, and NPMs • Failover control • Collects statistics (CPU, I/O, etc) from all other modules • Routes around failures 18

  19. XOS What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases Optimizes data flow between the network and application processors Switched Data Path Management Dynamic Resource Allocation Provides a responsive system to application processing needs Secure Flow Processing Virtual Application Processor / Grouping Optimizes and controls flows between apps Allows application performance to scale independently Chassis Resource Protection Self-Healing Protects and ensures optimum network processing Automatic performance capacity restoration Network Processing Environment Application Processing Environment Provides Superior Network Performance Ensures Exceptional Application Processing Open Secure OS Broad support of best-in-class security applications

  20. The Virtual Infrastructure What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases • A virtual infrastructure • Creates a very responsive on-demand architecture • Move, add, remove applications without impacting the network • Create logical application groups that can be scaled or changed depending upon performance demands • Self-healing architecture • Green Zone • Reduces waste by removing network inefficiencies • Reduce # Ethernet connections to a single “virtual infrastructure”

  21. Simplifying the Complex Which Network Rack can be Upgraded Faster? What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases • The X-Series Platform is the entire infrastructure—a single management interface for all security and network changes • Firmware and system software upgrades only need to be applied once using the Automated Workflow System

  22. The Virtual Infrastructure Solving the Problem • Crossbeam collapsed 800 Cisco ASA Firewall appliances into 4 X80 chassis running Check Point VSX • National Communications Co. now scales without adding additional hardware Business Outcome • National Telco was able to reduce the staff required for manage this service from 12 to just 3 Crossbeam Validation • Crossbeam was able to validate up to 250 virtual firewalls running on each X80 Chassis The Technical Problem • Current managed firewall service to local government education agency was overly complex, requiring 12 operational staff to maintain What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases

  23. Agenda 1 2 3 4 Introducing IAS Bladed Hardware X-Series: Carrier-Grade Chassis Linear Scalability Architecture Selling IAS Bladed Hardware

Why is it important? Real use cases Excellent for controlling the flow of data packets Poor at actually processing the data Excellent for processing the data Poor at controlling the flow of latency-sensitive data

  25. Linear Scalability Architecture What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases True system scalability demands that every performance factor scales linearly

  26. Linear Scalability Architecture What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases Integrated network and application processing facilitates true linear scalability 26

  27. Linear Scalability Architecture What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real Use-Cases Traffic flow controlled down to the individual processor core NPM APM Switched Data Paths (SDP)

  28. Check Point R70 Performance What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases • The X-Series can scale to 40Gbps firewall throughput with iMIX UDP traffic • The X-Series also is the fastest firewall platform on the market in small packet performance, capable of scaling to 18M Packets Per Second with 64 byte packets

  29. Throughput…Think Real World The X80 Achieves the Maximum Throughput of 40Gbps with Real-World Packet Sizes, Not Just with Large Packets What are we solving? How do we solve it? Why is it important? Real use cases X80 with NPM and APM 8650 Modules Running Check Point R70 iMIX Performance Gigabits Per Second Packet Size

  30. We must push back on overinflated SRX performance claims Platform Performance The Honeymoon is Over for the SRX • SRX throughput for iMIX traffic plummets by nearly 65% • Clear demonstration of how unrealistic the 120Gb claim is • X80 iMIX performance doesn’t budge from our max throughput of 40Gbps Gigabits per Second • SRX performance drops even further when IPS is turned on Check Point Firewall + IPS on X80 has always outperformed SRX

  31. Platform Performance—Packet Forwarding Rate At 18 Million Packets per Second, the X-Series is the Fastest Firewallon the Market! Packet Forwarding Rate (64 byte packets) • Packet forwarding rate directly affects real-world throughput • This performance is achieved with 8-core APM-8650 modules • Utilizing Check Point CoreXL technology Millions of Packets per Second
