Agenda 1 2 3 4 Introducing IAS Bladed Hardware X-Series: Carrier-Grade Chassis Linear Scalability Architecture Selling IAS Bladed Hardware
Linear Scalability Architecture Need to Maintain a Perfect Relationship Between Network and Application Processing in Order to Optimize a System What are we solving? How do we solve it? 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
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
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
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)
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
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
Platform Performance – Real World The X80 Matches SRX in Real World Performance • 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
Platform Performance At 18 Million Packets per Second, the X-Series is the Fastest Firewall on 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
