Check Point Software Technologies Ltd has launched a new line of Check Point appliances, VSX-1, providing businesses dedicated devices for multi-layer and multi-domain virtualised security.

Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. said, "Rapid growth, increasing energy and real costs, and changing market conditions are the key challenges for the current business scenario. As virtualization goes mainstream and becomes an integral part of the IT infrastructure, there are increasing opportunities for IT services to help customers implement and support this expanding technology."
He added, "By deploying VSX-1 appliances and consolidating security gateways, customers not only increase device utilization and conserve power, space and cooling without compromising security, but also increase the scalability and efficiency of their security infrastructure."
