R82 for Spark SMB gateways?
Hello,
What is planned in the SMB gateway roadmap?
In parallel with the work in progress on version R82 for quantum enterprise appliances, is there any adaptation work in progress for SMBs?
If so, when?
Kind regards,
Accepted Solutions

As Chris said, probably chat with your local SE would be best idea.

I wouldn't expect to see an R82-based release for Quantum Spark appliances until next year.
As Chris said, the next planned release is R81.10.15, which is in EA.

@Amir_Erman I had customer ask me if next major release for SMB appliances may be more like regular Gaia or are commands going to stay more less the same?
Best,
Andy

Next Gaia embedded version will stay the same from CLI perspective
Yet, is similarity with regular Gaia is crucial to your customer, I suggest you contact solution center for this

Hello,
Thanks for the information, it's good news that SMBs are following!
For suggestions, just follow the security features by adapting them to the size of the appliances.
And above all, it would be nice to have instant push policies. Centrally managed is so slow!
Kind regards,

SMBs use policy pull, so pushing policies from Dashboard only triggers a pull from SMB. This comes handy when managing a large numbert of SMBs...

Hello,
I have a customer managing a fleet of SPARK-devices primarily via a satelite network.
One feature that we'd like to see is a very limited GUI, i.e. a gui that is focused on being managed via a high latency, low bandwith network.
On CPX there was also a mention of "New SPARK OS" with "Integrated SD-WAN".
How are these moving along? Locally configured SD-WAN would be really useful for this customer!
Cheers

Why not use CLI instead of SMB GUI ? When real-time monitoring is not needed, you can do all configuration here.
SD-WAN is included in current recommended version: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/SMB_R81.10.X/AdminGuides_Locally_Managed/EN/Content/Topics/SD-W...

It's a matter of taste I suppose 🙂 Everything is not always as straight forward in CLI as in WebUI.
But sure that's an option.

Hi
Locally managed SD-WAN in already available in R81.10.10.

As for Low bandwidth management, have you tried managing the GW's via the Spark Management ?

Sure, they were hoping for a locally (on-device) configured option of SD-WAN to avoid the connection to "cloud"...
All gateways are managed through their regular on-prem SmartCenter...
