Introduction to R81.10.X Quantum Spark Appliances

With the release of our new Quantum Spark R81.10.X 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.

Quantum Spark R81.10.X releases are supported only on the new 1500/1600/1800 Series Security Gateways.

Both Locally Managed (Local + SMP) and Centrally Managed are supported.

For more information about Quantum Spark Appliances, refer to:

  • sk157412 - 1500 Series Security Gateways
  • sk168880 - 1600/1800 Series Security Gateways

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.

  R81.10 Code Alignment   More

    • Embedded Gaia software inherits its code base from the Latest R81.10 version of enterprise appliances. Therefore, although not specifically mentioned, the R81.10.X Quantum Spark Gateways inherit all maintrain limitations (see sk170418).
    • As the majority of R&D efforts now focus on R81.10 code base, we encourage our customers to start evaluating and migrating to the new code base.

    Important: To centrally manage the appliances:

    • For 1530 / 1550 / 1570 / 1590 / 1570R / 1600 / 1800 appliances, you must be running R81.10 with Take 66 and higher, or R81.20
    • For 1535 / 1555 / 1575 / 1595 appliances, you must be running R81.10 with Take 99 and higher. Not supported with R81.20
