SD-WAN Supported on Open Hardware?

Subject says it all, is SD-WAN supported on non-Check Point gateway appliance systems? It would seem the answer is no from what I can see.

I dont have an official statement about it, but one of my colleagues asked this same question to our CP SE and answer was not supported.

Odd that it shows up in the product catalog though:

SDWAN Blade for Open Server

Check Point's SD-WAN solution provides advanced networking capabilities. The solution enables connecting multiple branches with multiple links to the Data Center, Internet, and Cloud while saving cost and reducing rollout time. Utilizing more bandwidth and optimizing connectivity & experience, while gaining WAN health visibility to respond faster to burnouts and failures.

Hi Andy,

I provided the sk as a general reference.
we will see how to better clarify the Supported platforms in that sk to reflect that as well.

Thank you 🙂

It should be updated, so people dont have to guess. If its not in the sk, then its not supported, in my humble opinion 🙂

Hi everyone,

we have added "Open servers" as well under:

(5) Supported Capabilities > General > Quantum Security Gateways

in https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk180605

Thank you for your valuable feedback
