Quantum Maestro Getting Started Guide

Introduction

Quantum Maestro Orchestrator is a scalable Network Security System built to secure the largest networks in the world by orchestrating multiple Check Point Security Appliances into a unified system.

The Quantum Maestro Orchestrator provides:

• Security of infinite scale
• Redundancy - Quantum Maestro Orchestrator automatically distributes traffic between the Security Appliances assigned to Security Groups
• Ability to connect more Security Appliances and use their resources easily in the existing Security Groups

Overview

Quantum Maestro Orchestrator 1U systems are ideal for leaf and spine data center network solutions that provide maximum flexibility, with port speeds from 1 Gbit/sec to 100 Gbit/sec per port, and port density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at any speed. The ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit all application requirements.

Quantum Maestro Orchestrator 1U systems enable the use of 1, 10, 40 and 100 GbE port speeds in a large scale without the need to change power infrastructure facilities.
