Check Point 9200
1U firewall with 8 Gbps Threat Prevention and a laboratory VPN reference of 28.6 Gbps.
Overview
The Force 9200 retains compact modular connectivity while increasing inspection and session-establishment capacity. The datasheet lists 250 thousand new connections per second and 2 Gbps TLS Threat Prevention web mix, useful metrics beyond firewall throughput. It includes two internal AC power supplies; memory and network card depend on the Base, Plus or expansion configuration. Selection criteria: Assess this model for perimeters with greater VPN and session workloads than the 9100 reference. Use the 2 Gbps TLS web mix metric in the HTTPS assessment, alongside policy and transaction sizes. Plan for one network slot and compatible card interfaces if Maestro will be used. Performance note: Manufacturer reference values measured with different test profiles. Actual capacity varies with traffic, version, memory, blades, TLS inspection and policy. Do not add throughput figures together or use interface speed as prevention capacity. Compatibility and limitations: In Maestro, use only ports on compatible cards; built-in ports cannot be used.
