NEW - Military Appliance

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Check Point presented its new Quantum military appliance at CPX 2025.
The firewall appliance complies with the military standard and is cascadable according to this standard.
This appliance is made by a third party German company and they can make a lot of different types of the base hardware.

This hardware for example based on a Quantum Spark appliance 1595 with embedded GAIA.
(Quantum Spark 1595 Datasheet)

Here is a first impression of the appliance:

Are there any datasheets for the new appliance yet?

Reminds me of the UTM-132 appliance, we call it always the ''grill'' fw 🙂

[Thomas_Allen]

Yes, those things ran HOT

Thats COOL! 🙂

Would be very interesting if there was a cascadable STARLINK module for this.
I would like that.

Hi!

AFAIK this appliance is made by a third party German company and they can make a lot of different types of the base hardware. This is on the picture AFAIK a 1595.

BR,

Thanks @mated  for this info.

Will there also be Intel-based systems with full GAIA?

At CPX I heard that full GAIA for Spark appliances - with AMD processors -  is also in planning/development.
Is there any information that you can release yet?

@mated is correct and this is not technically a Check Point product. It is a modified 1595R via a third-party partner and it is their prototype. This particular form factor is not delivered by Check Point.

If this level of ruggedness is desired, then please work with your account team on a RFE. 

Regarding your other questions - I recommend working with your account team for a roadmap discussion with @Yaron_Weiler

[Bob_Zimmerman]

Are you able to share the name of the third-party company? I'm curious what else they might (re)build like that.

@mated Just curious, is there an official data sheet for this appliance?

Yes, a datasheet would be very helpful.
