Another benefit with SPLAT is that since you can spec your own
hardware, you can implement as many ethernet ports as you wish (and
your supported hardware can provide).
We use 10 interfaces on our HP DL380 G4's, and could add more if required.

The most obvious difference between Splat and UTM-1 is that you spec
and select the hardware that you want to use with Splat. With UTM-1 you
are using Checkpoint's box. Which, if you open it up, is cheap
commodity PC hardware anyways, nothing special.
On the other hand, the UTM-1 includes an unlimited user license with
the box. With Splat, you have to buy your hardware from your hardware
vendor and a Checkpoint license from your Checkpoint vendor. This can
make Splat more expensive.
If you are a small or medium sized shop, the UTM-1 isn't a bad choice.
If you are a shop that already has an investment in a server platform
(HP, Dell, IBM) and you are really looking closely at performance,
availability and reliability, then in my opinion Splat is the way to
go. Just pay attention to the Splat hardware matrix and be sure you
select a supported server config. Splat can be picky about things like
RAID controllers.
In terms of HA, they are the same.

Subject: [FW-1] Secure Platform vs UTM-1
Hi there,
We have been using Nokia Checkpoint firewall solution (w/ Windows
mgmt server) for many years. We are thinking to buy one new pair of
firewall enforcement points, and I want some inputs for Secure
Platform (Splat) vs UTM-1 solutions. We don't use VPN functions at
all. Just firewalling. If anyone willing to share their inputs
(pros and cons) between these two options, I would
appreciate. Thanks in advance.

p.s.
I assume in terms of HA (sync, failover, etc.) both these solutions
are the same, right? thx.
