Using Check Point Horizon Manager
Check Point Horizon Manager is an extension of the Check Point Network Voyager
management functionality.
While Check Point Network Voyager provides the device administrator access to network
configuration tasks (such as interface configuration and routing configuration) and security
configuration tasks (such as user configuration and access configuration), Check Point Horizon
Manager concentrates on secure software image, inventory, and platform management of Check
Point IP security platforms.
Using Check Point Horizon Manager, an administrator can obtain configuration information,
upgrade (or downgrade) the operating system, perform application installations, and distribute
necessary licensing to multiple platforms simultaneously, thereby reducing potential human
error and improving productivity.
Using Check Point Horizon Manager, a network security professional can manage multiple
devices simultaneously, perform parallel software upgrades, device verifications, device
configuration, file backups, and more.
Check Point Horizon Manager is designed to manage and configure a large number of Check
Point IP security appliances that reside on a corporate enterprise, managed service provider
(MSP), or hosted applications service provider network (ASP).
For information about how to obtain Check Point Horizon Manager or to learn more about the
