Who's Invited?

• Get your technical questions answered
• Meet with vendors
• Learn new skills
• Stay current with Check Point products
• Have dinner on us

What's on the Agenda?

What's the Main Presentation?

Nortel Networks (one of our founding sponsors) will present a technical under-the-hood lecture and demonstration of the Alteon Switched Firewall System.  This system protects high-traffic IT data centers, service provider networks, and hosting infrastructures using unique accelerator technology and Check Point FW-1 NG software.  Q&A will follow.  Find out more before the meeting at Nortel Networks.

Where is the Meeting?

Nortel Networks meeting room (next to the cafeteria)
4655 Great America Parkway
Santa Clara, CA
95054

How Do I Get There?

Nortel Networks is on Great America Parkway in Santa Clara, about a mile east of Hwy 101 (before you get to Tasman Drive).  You'll see the big Nortel Networks sign on the building.

Don't be fooled by the office building on the opposite side of Great America Parkway with "4655" on the side; it's on a side street and is a nice navigational landmark, but it’s the wrong building.  The Mapquest map is also somewhat deceptive; Nortel Networks is on the right hand (South) side when coming from Hwy 101.

Parking?

Around back, in the parking structure.

Do I Need to RSVP?

Please RSVP to bjstiefel@cpug.org!  We need to plan ahead (especially since we're providing dinner)!

Do You Need Volunteers?

Yes!  Hosting a high quality user group meeting takes a lot of work.  Please contact Barry Stiefel ("Stee-ful") at bjstiefel@cpug.org to offer some help.  It will probably be as simple as showing up a half hour early.  Also, volunteering is how members earn the right to be on the Board of Directors.

What Does It Cost?

Nothing.  Your first meeting is always free.  Dinner is always free.

Is It True What I've Heard About Your Library?

Yes.  We have an extensive library that's constantly growing.  Members make check anything out, for free.

How Do I Find Out More?

The Check Point User Group is at www.cpug.org.

How Do I Get this Announcement Automatically in the Future?

Is This an "Official" User Group Sponsored by Check Point?

No.  CPUG (The Check Point User Group) is an independent user group for Check Point implementers, and is not sponsored, approved or endorsed by Check Point.  However, they’re active participants and colleagues.

Who Are the Sponsors?

We have two founding sponsors:

Nortel Networks:  The Alteon Switched Firewall System

Resilience Corporation:  High-Availability Security Appliances For Firewall-1

You can meet with them at the meeting!
