ClusterXL is a software-based load sharing and high availability solution for Check Point gateway deployments. It distributes traffic between clusters of redundant gateways so that the computing capacity of multiple machines may be combined to increase total throughput. In the event that any individual gateway becomes unreachable, all connections are re-directed to a designated backup without interruption. Tight integration of Check Point management and enforcement point solutions ensures that ClusterXL deployment is a simple task for FireWall-1, VPN-1, and FloodGate-1 administrators.ClusterXL for Load Sharing enables load sharing by distributing traffic between clusters of redundant gateways so that the computing capacity of multiple machines may be combined to increase total throughput.
