The 41000 and 61000 Security Systems employ a highly flexible and modular system architecture that significantly boosts security and performance.

The 41000 Security System:

• Starts at 3,200 SecurityPower Units, with 1 Security Gateway Module (SGM)
• Scales to 11,000 SPUs with 4 SGMs

The 61000 Security System:

• Scales easily from 2 to 12 SGMs
• Delivers up to 33,000 total SecurityPower Units, 400 Gbps of firewall throughput, and up to 130 Gbps IPS protection when fully loaded with 12 SGM260s

We designed both systems to meet the uncompromising high availability and serviceability standards of modern data centers and telcos.

• Hot-swappable redundant power supplies, hard disk drives and fans
• Carrier-grade availability and serviceability in a rugged rack-mount chassis
• Redundant Chassis Management Modules continuously check and monitor chassis health, including fans, power supplies and SGMs

Each 41000 and 61000 Security System is packaged with a group of preselected Check Point Software Blades—including Firewall, IPsec VPN, Identity Awareness, Advanced Networking, and Acceleration and Clustering. Additional Software Blade upgrades are available to further extend and customize protection options.

The Check Point Software Blade architecture is the first and only security architecture that delivers complete, flexible and manageable security to companies of any size. With unprecedented flexibility and expandability, Software Blades deliver lower cost of ownership and cost-efficient protection that meet any need, today and in the future.

Full integration into the modular Software Blade Architecture allows for rapid and easy activation on any Check Point security gateway and to provide integrated and comprehensive protection.

These systems are designed to flexibly scale and support the needs of large, dynamic networks.
