Can the smallest appliance handle all Blades simultaneously?
A.
Depends on the number of protected clients and throughput.
B.
Depends on number of concurrent sessions.
C.
Firewall throughput is the only relevant factor.
D.
It depends on required SPU for customer environment.
Stream Processing Unit?
I don’t get why D is correct, I am leaning toward C.
The more blades the slower the firewall, if it is still fast enough to support the load / throughput then no issue right?

SPU is Security Power Unit – a Check Point proprietary benchmark for measuring appliances capabilites.

I agree with Brad, and this SPU based on the throughput requirement.

D is correct because of the way Check Point came up with it. SPU takes into account not only the number of blades running but also the protocols and size of the packets. Unless the typical vendor rating measured with 1 FW rule or using UDP packets only. SPU is a far more accurate way to come up with appliance size.
