Check Point still uses the old names today. I teached my colleagues on the new terminology, MDS, DMS, MDSM, etc. Even today Check Point support references to CMAs and other names while most new people are not used to these old names anymore.

Unfortunately we haven't completed educating all our employees and technology partners on the new naming.

Starting with R80:

1. CMA is now named Domain

2. Provider-1 or MDSM is now named Multi-Domain Management Server

3. SMS is now named Security Management Server (or: not-multi-domain)

4. No more initials with the exception of "MDS Domain" when logging in with SmartConsole and selecting between domains.

This was us extending our intuitiveness of the user interface to the scope of product names.

Provider-1 is an old name for MDSM - Multi-Domain Security Management product family.

MDS stands for Muti-Domain Server. MDS is one of the flavors when installing MDSM. There is also MLM - multi domain log server.

Similar question in 2030 year:

Is SmartDashboard the same like SmartConsole ?

Maybe someone can write some article with all shortcuts related to Check Point what we know so far?

Kind regards,

SmartDashboard represents the blue application of R77.x

SmartConsole is the unified pink dashboard single pane of class for configuration, logs and device operations.

I think you forgot to add that the flavors of MDS/MDSM vary - all depends if you're using Single-Domain or Multi-Domain envoronment (multi CMA) structures Smiley Happy

Those of us who have been using/supporting Check Point for a decade or more still use these legacy terms 🙂
If you review this page, you will see these terms defined by hovering over "Multi-Domain Server" and such: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_Multi-DomainSecurityManageme...

MDM refers to the entire installation (one or more multi-domain servers, or MDS).

In modern contexts, a CMA refers to a single management domain (i.e. a "customer").
In the past, I believe CMAs were also a type of license.
Having said that, I am less familiar with the older licensing of Multi-Domain and it changed pretty significantly in 2010 or so.
