Quantum Force performance boost is available post the release of R82 Jumbo #3 ( Take 25)

Hi,

The performance boost for the Quantum Force appliances is now available, post the release of R82 Jumbo #3 ( Take 25).

The Quantum Force datasheets are updated accordingly, and our jumbo documentation is already published - https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R82/R82.00/R82-List-of-all-Resolved-Issues.htm

Regards,

The link to R82 Jumbo Takes only promises that Management upgrade performance is improved by up to 15%, but no mention of TP performance boost 😉

already under work to fix and clarify

PRJ-57317, PMTR-108735 - Threat Prevention

UPDATE: Improved Threat Prevention Blades performance by 15%-25% on Quantum Force 9000, 19000 and 29000 appliances.

May I infer that certain Medium Path operations (passive streaming only I would assume) are being offloaded into hardware on Quantum Force?  Offload enabled by default if hardware and software requirements are met?

[Jan_Kleinhans]

Will this performance boost also be available in R81.20?

[Yaron_Weiler]

No, only starting R82

So I assume you mean that offloading and hardware acceleration in the NVIDIA SmartNICs is now happening on Quantum Force if UPPAK is enabled, and not just acceleration happening only in software as it was prior to this JHFA?  What about Lightspeed cards?
