VPN-1 Power VSX
VPN-1 Power VSX is a virtualized security gateway that allows managed service providers and enterprises with virtualized networks to create up to 250 virtual security systems-including firewall, VPN, and intrusion prevention-on a single hardware platform.
Check Point Case Study
The Check Point philosophy on IPSec VPNs is that they represent a bridge between the networking professional's emphasis on connectivity and the security professional's emphasis on protecting the network.
Check Point

Today's service providers need to secure high-speed, mission-critical data centers or point-of-presence (POP) networks that consist of a number of smaller customer networks that require separate security protection. Typically, separate firewall, VPN, and attack-protection devices are deployed on each network segment. However, implementing and maintaining large numbers of separate security solutions is expensive and time consuming. Service providers are faced with the need to continually deploy security for new customers and manage a growing number of security devices for existing customers. In addition, service providers need to keep customer networks and data segregated within their own infrastructure, but at the same time service providers require a solution that allows them to centrally manage these networks efficiently and cost effectively.
VPN-1 Power VSX is a high-speed, multipolicy virtualized security solution designed for large-scale environments like data centers and POP networks. Based on the proven security of VPN-1® Power, VPN-1 Power VSX provides comprehensive protection to multiple networks within complex infrastructures, securely connects them to shared resources like the Internet and DMZs, and allows each of them to interact with each other safely, while providing centralized management. The VPN-1 Power VSX gateway enables organizations to create an advanced, virtual network of routers, switches, and VPN-1 gateways utilizing a single piece of hardware. This reduces the hardware investment and physical space needed to achieve security across the entire network by replacing and consolidating physical security and network devices. Only VPN-1 Power VSX provides a platform for highly scalable, virtualized network and security services that is easy to deploy and manage.
VPN-1 Power VSX is supported by SmartDefense Services, which maintain the most current preemptive security of the Check Point security infrastructure. To help you stay ahead of new threats and attacks, SmartDefense Services provide real-time updates and configuration advisories for defenses and security policies.
