I was at Check Point’s SKO (sales kick-off) a few weeks ago, and found a booth that was showing off some new appliances. The 5900 is the newest in the 5xxx line, and has taken over as the fastest 1U offering at the moment.
Some throughput numbers:
Firewall: 52 Gbps
IPS: 13.5 Gbps
NGFW: 11.4 Gbps
Threat Prevention: 2.7
Something to to watch on this model is the SSL acceleration card that will be available in Q2.
