Check Point adds R80 hardware recommendations to the Release Notes

Last month I have mentioned that R80 Release Notes document does not mention HW details for R80 installation.

I am glad to let you know this is no longer the case. Last week Check Point added a small section "Open Server Hardware Recommendations" to the document.



Well done, Check Point. Also, thanks to Dan Suleiman for bringing this to my attention.

  1. Interesting requirements of 500G and 8G RAM. I would say it will be an issue to sell to customers in cloud.

  2. so does this mean that a Smart 1-205 which only comes with 4gb RAM ..is going to be a nightmare to use with R80..?

    1. Not necessarily. "Recommended" does not mean "Minimally required". The same document, half a page up, states that Smart-1 205 is among supported platforms.
