Quantum Spark Security Gateways for SMB

Has been around for 2 weeks, but now it is openly shown in UserCenter - SMB is now Quantum Spark:

Quantum Spark Security Gateways for SMB Datasheet

Quantum Spark Security Gateways for SMB Brochure

Quantum Spark Security Gateways for SMB Customer Presentation

The brochure reveals that the 1800 is equipped with 32 GB eMMC plus a 256 GB SSD, and we get a performance table from the FAQ:

The name is now Quantum Spark, so the only feature still missing is Maestro support 8)...

What still is unclear is the amount of RAM installed. 7x0/14x0 have roughly 1GB, my 1550 near 2GB - but what about 1600 / 1800 ?

Am missing PoE support.

Since you can’t upgrade the RAM, putting it on the data sheet isn’t really relevant.
If I had to guess: either 2 or 4GB.

Meanwhile I’m pretty sure the formal public announcement is still coming at CPX, though we did talk about the new SMB appliances at our Sales Kick Off.
