As Tim pointed out, the StoneBeat HA product (now at version 3.1.4) is OPSEC
certified. It provides basic hot-standby or load-sharing configurations. The
StoneBeat FullCluster product, which provides dynamic load balancing for up to
16 nodes/cluster, now at version 1.0, soon to be 2.0, is not OPSEC-certified.
And yes, a bit over a year after StoneBeat was certified, CheckPoint came out
with their own HA product that does essentially the same thing. They do not, as
yet, have a clustering product, however.
If you are concerned about support from Check Point engineers, you can obtain
your support from Stonesoft directly. We have many CCSA and CCSE's, as well as
a few CCSI's, and will be happy to provide you with full support for both
products. :)
