[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Checkpoint and Multiprocessing
I have
the same setup here. You get some benefits of using multiple CPU's if
you
use
the security servers. However since Checkpoint is still 32bit and it's fw
engine
still
doesn't appear to be multi-threaded you won't get any benefits for speed.
(your
IP
information will flow through a single processor).
If you
are looking for speed, get the 480Mhz processors instead of the 400mhz
ones.
Or, if
you have the option use a newer system with the Ultrasparc III procs.
Though
I
would expect the reason you picked the 450 was due to it's 10 PCI
slots.
