Introduction to Quantum Spark Appliance

With the release of our new Quantum Spark version, Check Point introduces code alignment between our Quantum Spark product line with the Quantum R81.10 Security Gateway release. This major Quantum Spark release adds many new capabilities, as well as a wide range of stability and performance improvements.

The Quantum Spark Appliance release is supported only on the 1500 / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000Series Security Gateways.

This release supports Locally Managed (Local + Quantum Spark Management) and Centrally Managed appliances.

Check Point is committed to providing the best and most up-to-date security for all deployments including small businesses, medium businesses, and branch offices.

R80.20.xx code base for 1500 / 1600 / 1800 Series Security Gateways will continue to be supported with stability, performance and bug fixes only.

The existing 700, 900, 1100, 1200R, and 1400 appliance lines will continue to be supported with our R77.20.xx code base.

As the majority of R&D efforts shifted to R81.10 code base, we encourage our customers to migrate to the new code base.
