How can the 1500 Appliances be centrally managed?
You can either use SMP, R80.40 and above management (currently in EA), or R80.30 with a future Jumbo Hotfix.
Are the 1550/1590 Appliances ruggedized?
No, but we are planning a replacement for the 1200R.
Will the 700/1200R/1400 Appliances run the new R80.20 SMB code?
No, and currently this not planned.
Are the 1550/1590 Appliances running regular Gaia or Embedded Gaia?
Embedded Gaia.
Is clustering supported on the 1550/1590 Appliances?
Yes, and it is configured similarly to the previous SMB appliances.
Is more than one WAN/DMZ port supported?
Yes, you can configure LAN ports as WAN or DMZ.
Were there enhancements with the WiFi?
On the 1590, yes. Refer to the following table from sk157412:

Is Content Awareness supported?
Not currently, but it is planned.
Is there a simple way to migrate from 1400/R77.20.x to 1500/R80.20?
Currently, no, but we are working on a tool that facilitates this that should be available soon.
Does the SMP portal work the same with the 1500 Appliances or are there enhancements when this model links to the portal?
It works the same, plus several adjustments and enhancements to cover the new capabilities.
Is Zero Touch deployment still possible with the 1500 Appliances?
Yes.
Can we use Domain Objects (FQDN) in these devices?
If the device is centrally managed, yes. Locally managed, not yet, but it is planned.
Can these gateways connect directly to an Identity Collector?
Not currently, but support is planned.
It is planned, yes.
When deployed locally managed, the logsearch was very poor, is this better in R80.20?
It works similar to R77.20 in this regard.
