Check Point to Aquire Nokia’s Security Appliance Business..

This was a surprise but not completely.  In the past Nokia was the dominant hardware source for Check Point security software.  With the move by Check Point into its own hardware line, it was a question of how long Nokia would stay in the field.  What will be the outcome of other hardware makers such as Crossbeam etc..  Only time will tell.

I guess the question will be if CP will migrate this into their Secure Platform (SPLAT) or run both lines in parallel.  Its going to be interesting to see how this is going to shake out.  Especially from a CP partner point of view.
