Hello, How much memory, CPU speed and HDD space you need, all depends on the size of your network, the troughput your box will need to handle and the amount of logs it usually generates. So for that kind of selection, I would recomend for you to check the Platform Selection Guide link bellow:
http://www.checkpoint.com/products/choice/platforms.html About the specific model of Dell server you mentioned, it is listed in the compatibility list for SPLAT, but if you check the link bellow, will see it requires a specific media pack that already includes some patches, usually this is because the HDD array controller included with that hardware was not supported by the original releases. http://www.checkpoint.com/products/supported_platforms/recommended/ngx/ver_r60/017.html Finally regarding the choice of one or two CPUs, since you mentioned that are running R55, it is clear you still have Pro or Express licenses, for those you in fact need to have an extra license for the Performance Pack (Secure XL) in order for Check Point to fully take advantage of dual processor hardware, otherwise it is better to have a single powerful CPU. If on the other hand, you are thinking to upgrade to the new VPN-1 Power license, then dual CPU support is already included and you so not need any extra licenses. Hope this info helps.

Hi, I am putting together a config for a new splat server. I am currently using a Corrent SR200 box that no longer has any support, so I want to change it over to something else. We are a Dell shop, and I have been looking at the PowerEdge 1950 server, and have some questions on what I should it configured with. Should the server have dual processors, or just one powerful CPU. How much memory. I am thinking 4gb standard. How much HDD space. I have a distributed environment with the managing console just on a P4 computer running splat. I am currently running R55, but plan on upgrading to latest version of Check Point Thanks, Sean The information contained in this e-mail message is confidential and protected by law.
