Hi, VSX is independent of ESX, it's running an OS (e.g. SecurePlatform) on a hardware and on this machine up to 250 virtual systems can be configured as independent firewalls. So it's a basic difference to VE running on ESX protecting single hosts. Please refer to your Check Point representative regarding VSX versions and GAiA Best regards, Matthias -- AERAsec Network Services and Security GmbH HRB: 133265 München Wagenberger Strasse 1 UStID: DE-209125001 D-85662 Hohenbrunn, Germany Tel. +49 8102 895 190 Fax. +49 8102 895 199 Sitz der Ges.: D-85662 Hohenbrunn, Geschäftsführer: Dr. Matthias Leu http://www.aerasec.de http://www.fw-1.eu PGP Public Key: http://www.aerasec.de/wir/publickeys/MatthiasLeu.asc ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] =================================================
