Product Review: Corrent S3500 TurboCard
7. Conclusions:
The Corrent S3500 TurboCard, designed in cooperation with Check
Point, provides significant hardware and logic-based acceleration for
Firewall-1/VPN-1. It connects to the firewall on your Enforcement Module using the SecureXL API and
is a faster hardware replacement for PerformancePack. It runs on the
standard SecurePlatform operating system, is simple to install and manage, and
basically just works quietly behind the scenes to fastlane connections, off-load
cryptographic computations and provide other pre-firewall intelligent
packet screening.
It can also help speed traffic by efficiently dropping packets
with the Drop Acceleration and Template Quota features. During a DoS
attack, it can fastlane acceptable traffic through the card without sending it
up to an overtaxed CPU.
Overall, it provides an easy-to-install hardware-accelerated platform for users needing
multi-Gigabit throughput with Firewall-1/VPN-1.
