Check Point Accelerated Data Path
(ADP) for IP Appliances
Overview
Check Point Accelerated Data Path (ADP) for IP Appliances service modules are a hardware option that can be quickly inserted into Check Point IP Appliances to improve traffic performance and extend appliance utilization. ADP service modules accelerates SecureXL traffic, improving small packet performance, VPN, IMIX (which is a blend of traffic types and sizes representing more real world scenario) and reduced latency. With ADP the Check Point IP appliances deliver high performance for a broad range of traffic types.
An ADP provides investment protection for your IP Appliances. It offers users of these appliances an easy upgrade alternative to achieve higher performance without having to replace the appliance.
Benefits
- Improves performance from 1.5X to 7X compared to an IP appliance without ADP
- Substantially improved HTTP throughput
- Significant performance improvements for small packet traffic
Features
The ADP module accelerates traffic that is being accelerated by Check Point SecureXL by off-loading the acceleration into hardware. It offers the equivalent of another processor. This “appliance within appliance” architecture frees up resources on the appliance CPU(s) that can be utilized on non-accelerated (slow path) traffic and deep-packet inspection.
Modular Design
The ADP services module solution allows you to defer the process and cost of acquiring and installing a new appliance. It offers IP Appliance users an easy upgrade alternative to achieve higher performance without having to disassemble the appliance. The ADP services module may be inserted in minutes.
Interface Options
ADP services modules can support both single mode and multi-mode fiber. This offers complete flexibility to populate the module with a combination of connectivity or with the convenience to obtain a module that is fully populated with short-range fiber connections or built-in copper.
