Check Point 9300
1U firewall with ten physical cores, 10.5 Gbps Threat Prevention and modular connectivity up to 25 GbE.
Overview
The Force 9300 increases processing capacity in a 1U form factor, with ten physical cores, a 480 GB SATA SSD and memory expandable to 64 GB. It retains eight Gigabit RJ45 ports and one slot for fibre cards. The reference of 300 thousand new connections per second helps inform perimeter projects with many flows; choosing Base or Plus changes power redundancy and remote administration. Selection criteria: Consider this model when prevention and session-creation workloads require more capacity than the 9100/9200 models. Plan a second power supply for redundancy in Base; Plus already includes two. Check the 25 GbE connectivity limit of supported cards; do not design for 100 GbE on this model. 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.
