Roman,
The latest CP version is indeed NG (aka 5.0), 4.1 will still be
supported for 18 months
after the release of FP1 (Feature Pack 1 - the new name of their Service
Packs).
Provider-1 is another products, it is kind of a Management Server, but
for big customers or
ISP having to manage a lot of different Firewalls and having separate
security rules bases and so
on (that's it in short - very short)
Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien a vous - Kind regards

Subject: [FW-1] NG or Provider-1?
Hi list
Sorry for stupid question I think I'm lost with terminology :-)
Is there any difference between Checkpoint NG (Next Generation) and
Provider-1?
NG seems to be next step after FW1 4.1, right? What is Provider-1 in
this case?
Our company uses Checkpoint FW-1 4.1. Since Checkpoint stopped with
providing support for everything prior to 4.1 (BTW what about supporting
4.1? Still valid for some period of time? :-) our top management
suggested to upgrade to NG. So, Provider-1 is the latest version?, or?
... :-)
Second question: Is there any way to upgrade to NG from FW-1 4.1, or
everything should be installed from scratch?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Roman
