    SAN JOSE, Calif., May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Rainfinity, the provider of high

     "Keeping pace with Rainfinity's commitment to innovation, we were the

 availability with load balancing, and now we are the first software high
 availability solution on Linux to receive OPSEC certification," said
 Lou Delzompo, vice president, products for Rainfinity.  "The combination of
 RainWall and Check Point's VPN-1/FireWall-1 creates a massively scalable,
 secure infrastructure to meet the business needs of customers.  Now, companies
 can leverage the power of RainWall in their Linux environments -- with
 complete validation of Check Point's OPSEC certification."
     "Many large enterprises are deploying business critical VPN/firewall
 solutions on the Linux platform," said Bradley Brown, director of business
 development for Check Point Software Technologies.  "The combination of
 VPN-1/FireWall-1 and RainWall for Linux provides our customers with the most
 robust, best-of-breed high availability Internet security solution available

     To achieve OPSEC certification on Linux, Check Point conducted a series of
 tests on RainWall under various operating conditions to measure its
 performance as well as its ability to integrate with Check Point's
 VPN-1/FireWall-1 on Linux.  As an OPSEC partner with an OPSEC-Certified
 product, Rainfinity offers Check Point customers a high availability, load
 balancing software-only solution that is scalable, effortless to install, cost
 effective and guaranteed compatible with Check Point's Linux-based
 VPN-1/FireWall-1.
 
     RainWall High Availability Software
     RainWall provides full scalability, high availability and peak performance
 for Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 on Solaris, Windows NT and Linux platforms by
 creating a fully distributed gateway cluster that scales linearly and
 eliminates single points of failure.  RainWall software detects failures in
 all software and hardware components, including itself, shifting traffic from
 failing gateways to healthy ones, while reconfiguring itself without
 disrupting existing connections.  RainWall's true dynamic load balancing
 shares the traffic load among all the nodes in the cluster and scales linearly
 to any number of nodes to accommodate traffic increases.  Additional nodes can
 be added on the fly without interrupting service.  Acquisition costs and cost
 of ownership are reduced by eliminating the need for dedicated hardware.
 RainWall is easily configured and managed using its Java-based GUI.
