Check Point Software announced on November 2 the next generation of its Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator, the MHO 200, aimed at data centers and service providers that need to inspect much larger volumes of traffic as AI workloads grow. SecurityMEA reported the details.
According to the company, total fabric capacity rises to 12.8 Tbps from 3.2 Tbps on the previous MHO 175, still in a one-rack-unit chassis. Check Point also claims up to 4.5 Tbps of threat prevention per Maestro system, up from 1.1 Tbps, and the hardware adds 400GbE ports.
Resilience features include automatic failover across two sites, for which the vendor cites 99.999 percent uptime, and the ability to split one system into as many as eight separate policy domains. Those figures are vendor claims and have not been independently tested.
Chief Product Officer Nataly Kremer said AI is changing the scale at which networks need to be protected. The coverage reviewed did not state a release date or pricing, so buyers will need to ask Check Point about availability.
