Check Point Launches MHO 200 for AI Data Center Traffic

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. introduced in a press release the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator 200, a firewall orchestration system for AI data centers, cloud providers, telecommunications companies, governments and enterprises. The MHO 200 is available in all regions through the company's product catalog.

The system provides 12.8 Tbps of total fabric capacity and up to 4.5 Tbps of threat prevention throughput in a 1RU unit. This is four times the fabric capacity and threat prevention throughput of the MHO 175. It also adds 400GbE ports.

The MHO 200 combines firewall models and generations into one system and can divide them into as many as eight independent security groups. It supports encrypted traffic inspection, automatic failover across two sites and live security updates without reboots. Check Point says it can identify and secure AI applications, large language models, agents and Model Context Protocol servers from the firewall.
