I too worked for a var that sold Nokia before. We has some early problems
with features in the Nokia version of Checkpoint vs the Checkpoint release,
but that seems to have been addressed. We set up high availability
solutions for numerous customers and it is definitely a better solution that
unsupported OSPF running on a UNIX box with Stonebeat. It is my
understanding the VRRP is very similar to Cisco HSRP, as a matter of fact
you can run the full Cisco routing software and skip the router. I think
overall the solution is less money too.
I am pretty sure that the remote office VPN solution from Checkpoint is an
OEM version of the smaller Nokia box.

Although my company (cough) sells the Nokia solution, I can tell you that
they work as advertised. VRRP is not proprietary. Here is the link for the
RFC

I am using it with the Nokia firewalls. These have a proprietary protocol
called VRRP. This handles failover. I am really impressed.
