provides the feature set and interfaces
that are familiar to security administrators
worldwide and delivers secure and easy
updates via IPSO and SecurePlatform.
“We are excited that Check Point, the leader
in scalable, high-performance security
platforms has selected our Spectrum
Ethernet switches as a critical element of
Maestro, the true hyperscale solution for
network security,” said Yael Birk Hoter-
Ishay, Sr Director of Sales at Mellanox.
“This follows the previous selection of
Mellanox NICs and transceivers for its
25, 40 and 100Gbps solutions. Mellanox
10/25/100Gbps switches are a great
match not only due to their superior
performance, but also due to the switch
being an open platform, thus allowing
customers with sophisticated needs to
tailor the capabilities to their liking.”
“Check Point Maestro is a revolutionary
new architecture that enables businesses
of any size to enjoy the power of flexible
cloud-level security platforms and to
seamlessly expand their existing security
gateways to hyperscale capacity firewalls.
“Performance, reliability, fault tolerant and
secure network connectivity are all critical

to our customers,” said Itai Greenberg,
VP Product Management at Check Point
Software Technologies.
“After a careful evaluation of the various
offerings, we selected the Mellanox
Spectrum family of switches as the best
solution to meet our needs and deliver
unmatched security platforms to our
customers. We look forward to continuing
the technology collaboration with Mellanox
for product generations to come.”
In the competitive world of high-speed
networks, performance is at a premium.
Here, Mellanox has the advantage
of manufacturing switches based on
entirely in-house developed Spectrum
and Spectrum-2 silicon – rather than
using commodity chips from merchant
semiconductors suppliers.
This allows leaner, purpose-built
components that give Mellanox the
edge in performance, efficiency, density,
telemetry and flexibility.
Where many chips are completely
hard-wired, Mellanox chips are
designed with a programmable
pipeline for faster accommodation of
customers’ requirements. ◊
