Overview of Quantum Spark Appliances

Quantum Spark 2500 Appliances

The Quantum Spark 2500 appliance series includes the 2530 / 2550, 2560 / 2570, and 2580, and 2590 models and run R82 code. These appliances support the Check Point Software Blade architecture and provide independent modular and Centrally Managed security building blocks. You can quickly enable and configure the Software Blades to meet your specific security needs. With the exception of the 2580 and 2590 models, they support 5G and WiFi7.

Quantum Spark Pro 1500 Appliances

Starting from R82.00.10, Quantum Spark Pro 1500 appliances (15x5, 1600, 1800, 1900, and 2000) can run both R81.10 and R82 code.

Important:

  • Upgrade restrictions: Only Pro models (1535 / 1555 / 1555 / 1575 / 1575R / 1575R / 1595R / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000) can upgrade to R82. Other models (for example, 1530 / 1550 / 1570 / 1590) are blocked from this upgrade by default. For more information, see sk184492.

    Attempting to use Central Deployment to upgrade will not prevent the process from occurring, but the appliance upgrade is prevented from the gateway side.

  • Upgrading Pro device clusters to R82 will break the cluster due to core deviation changes, causing downtime and loss of High Availability (cluster failover). For more information, see sk184478.

Quantum Spark 1500 appliances deliver integrated unified threat management to protect your organization from today's emerging threats. Based on proven Check Point security technologies such as Stateful Inspection, Application Intelligence, and Security Management Architecture, the appliances provides simplified deployment while delivering uncompromising levels of security.

These appliances run an embedded version of the Gaia operating system. The appliances include core configuration elements such as Gaia ClishClosed The default shell of the Gaia CLI interface, SNMPv2/v3 and routing stack implementations. In addition to the Gaia features, Gaia Embedded operating system contains support for built-in network switches, wireless networks, 3G/4G/5G LTEClosed Long Term Evolution - a standard for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies. It increases the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements. Internet connectivity, multiple Internet connections (more than 2) in High Availability or Load Sharing mode, Policy Based Routing, and DDNS support. Quick deployment with USB is supported for all appliances, and with SD card and Dual SIM card for the 1575 / 1595 and 1595R appliances.

This Administration Guide describes all aspects that apply to the Quantum Spark the 1535 / 1555, 1575 / 1595, and 1595R appliances.
