CheckPoint introduces Live Linux SPLAT version

[Sergej]

According to a last info Checkpoint will also release "live CD" like SPLAT version (live linux boots directly from CD, no HDD installation needed, more info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_live_cd ). Any diskless server can be converted to the best of breed firewall in minutes. Just boot the server from CD. All the config files and user database will be stored and downloaded from you usercenter account. The beta version is available via Early Availability Program.

Imagine, no upgrade_import on upgrade_export. No FHA, no faulty disks. Just insert the new LiveSPLAT in the CD reboot and, you have upgraded firewall.

Regardless of SPLAT is based on RHAS new LiveSPALT are based finnix or SLAX (I cant clearly understand this from beta I have)

Wow that's really awesome! Is SIC pre-established when you boot up? How does it handle custom drivers like the VPN Accelerator card?

tis a pretty cool idea, just hope you don't have to reboot on a friday when the user center seems to always crash :o)

Did this ever get released?
