what, if not HA

[ppawlo]

Hi everyone. I want to implement HA in my company. Now I have been thinking about HA of Checkpoint but I do not think so is a good idea.

I heard something about load balancer of other vendors.
Have you got more experience with other solutions? Can you give me advice /example other ways?

Regards
Pawel

Check Point's HA code is fine. It is also statefull, whereas if you use an external device, it will not be.

Why do you think CHKP's HA isn't a good way to go?

A long time ago, the sync was quite slow, but now it works quite well. The only drawback I can think of is the extra module license required, but then again you will need that anyway.

Hi,
If you use nokia box for running checkpoint then you ca run active/active using IPSO nokia feature. You donot need to have a HA license of checkpoint in that case.

You do not need a license for HA functionality but you do need the 2nd module (FW gateway) license.

HI,
Yes you are right, you will need a second license for the second gateway.
