Check Point s Next Generation with Application Intelligence Enterprise Suite on the Nokia IPSO appliance is a popular combination. Providing a combination of rack-mount appliance hardware, pre-hardened multi-purpose operating system, and the simple web and command-line interface, the IPSO platform currently claims nearly half of all Check Point installations. Nokia provides a web front-end called Voyager (see Figure 2.67) for easy package management and system configuration. Nokia also provides a fast failover mechanism utilizing VRRP and Check Point s state synchronization with an average failover time of just four seconds.
Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 NG with Application Intelligence requires Nokia IPSO 3.7 or later for installation (refer to Nokia s Support website for the latest compatible version of the operating system which runs Check Point NG AI). You can either order a Nokia box with Check Point preinstalled, or you can download the installation package from Check Point (with appropriate login ID) and install it yourself. If you need to upgrade your IPSO, you will need to obtain the IPSO image from Nokia s website. It may be necessary to upgrade your boot manager prior to upgrading your IPSO image. Please read all release notes prior to installing new packages or operating system (IPSO) images. It is not recommended to upgrade from 4.1 to NG AI if you have less than 128MB of memory; because this is the minimum memory required to run Check Point NG AI.
