Cubix 'Secured by Check Point'

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Cubix Corp. will introduce the industry's first chassis/blade based "Secured by Check Point" appliance in November 2001. The two high density systems, Multiple Security Appliance (MSA) 300 & 800, host up to three and eight Security Series appliance blades respectively, featuring the market-leading Check Point (Nasdaq:CHKP) VPN-1(R)/FireWall-1(R) software. The Cubix system is unique in that it integrates Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 on appliance blades running a security hardened version of the Linux operating system. MSA systems, with their appliance blade architecture, are ideal for enterprises and service providers looking to rapidly deploy multiple high-speed, high-density Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 appliances in space constrained data centers, build High Availability (HA) configurations, or create high throughput, load balanced clusters of VPN/Firewalls. Multiple VPN-1/FireWall-1 customer domains can be managed using Check Point's Provider-1(TM). With the assistance of Check Point Authorized Resellers, MSA systems are also ideal for deploying "Security Farms" or a suite of multiple security applications, such as virus scanning, intrusion detection, url screening or authentication."As a price/performance leader for `Secured by Check Point' appliances, Cubix offers enterprises and service providers a cost effective solution for deploying rock solid security solutions," stated Jim Zakzeski, Cubix's vice president of Marketing and Sales.
