Checking out the competition, its looks like both PAN and Forti is doing some sort of DPU acceleration with Nvidia.<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Magnus</P> Sun, 06 Feb 2022 04:53:03 GMT Magnus-Holmberg 2022-02-06T04:53:03Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Openservers-ConnectX-6/m-p/140654#M21606 <P>Hi,<BR /><BR />Check Point Lighspeed is leverering the Nvidia ConnectX-6 for offloading some traffic flows.<BR />As this NIC is availible to buy seperate for standard open servers,<BR /><A href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/networking/ethernet/connectx-6-dx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/networking/ethernet/connectx-6-dx/</A></P><P>Is Check Point looking it to releasing this features for openservers aswell?<BR />One of Check Point biggest strength is that its a software company, limiting these kinds of features to appliances only i think would be a misstake.
