<p>Check Point Software Announces Industry's First IP Address Management<br />
Solution for Linux</p>
<p>New Linux Product Furthers Integration with Complete, Scalable,<br />
Enterprise-wide VPN</p>
<p>SINGAPORE - Wednesday, June 16, 1999 - Check Point Software<br />
Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in secure<br />
enterprise networking, today announced Check Point Meta IP Services<br />
for Linux, the industry's first IP address management solution<br />
available for the popular Linux operating system. With Meta IP<br />
Services for Linux, network administrators now can run Meta IP's<br />
powerful DNS and DHCP services natively on Linux servers. Meta IP<br />
integrates with FireWall-1 and VPN-1 Gateway from Check Point<br />
Software, seamlessly providing them with user information. Meta IP<br />
enables administrators to easily manage the IP address and name space<br />
for complex, global networks and provides the foundation for<br />
user-based security and policy management through Check Point's Meta<br />
IP User-to-Address Mapping (UAM) technology. Meta IP's DNS and DHCP<br />
services are also available for Unix and Windows NT environments.</p>
<p>"Today many large enterprises are deploying IP services on the Linux<br />
platform," said Asheem Chandna, vice president of marketing and<br />
business development for Check Point Software Technologies. "With the<br />
availability of Meta IP Services for Linux our customers can now<br />
centrally manage IP services that are distributed and deployed across<br />
all the major Unix platforms and Windows NT."</p>
<p>More than 10 million users currently run the Linux operating system,<br />
which according to IDC, was the fastest-growing server operating<br />
environment in 1998. Linux accounts for more than 17 percent of all<br />
server operating system being shipped today. In Asia Pacific,<br />
although larger enterprises have not adopted Linux en masse, smaller<br />
organizations have been receptive to Linux adoption. At the same<br />
time, sporadic adoption of Linux amongst workgroups within larger<br />
enterprises are also happening. The cost effectiveness and extensive<br />
feature sets of Meta IP Services for Linux makes a compelling tool<br />
for managing IP address and name space complexity affecting Asian<br />
companies.</p>
<p>"With the availability of Meta IP's Services for Linux, network<br />
administrators can now take advantage of the scalability and<br />
reliability of the Linux platform to host multiple DNS and DHCP<br />
services in enterprise environments," says Paul McNamara, vice<br />
president, business development at Red Hat Software. "The increasing<br />
availability of powerful enterprise-ready solutions such as Check<br />
Point Software's Meta IP Address Management software furthers the<br />
attractiveness of Linux to the enterprise."</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability<br />
For registered Meta IP 4.1 users, Meta IP Services for Linux is<br />
available today as a free upgrade through Check Point Software's Meta<br />
IP site at <a href="http://www.metaip.checkpoint.com" title="http://www.metaip.checkpoint.com">http://www.metaip.checkpoint.com</a>. For new users, Meta IP<br />
4.1 is available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. The<br />
Enterprise edition starts at US$9,995 (U.S. only) with 1,000 nodes<br />
(which equates about US$10 per node only). Additional nodes are<br />
available with per node pricing discounted at higher quantities. The<br />
Meta IP 4.1 Standard Edition, which now includes the UAM technology<br />
and two DNS and two DHCP services, is priced at US$445 for a 100-node<br />
license (which works out to US$4.45 per node only). Meta IP can be<br />
purchased through qualified resellers and distributors in the Check<br />
Point Partner Alliance - for a complete listing of resellers and<br />
fault-tolerant DHCP, and RFC-compliant RADIUS), and an open and<br />
distributed LDAP data store. With its standards-based architecture,<br />
Meta IP frees network administrators from proprietary services that<br />
limit their ability to manage DNS and DHCP services in cross-platform<br />
environments. While Meta IP's Administration Console module currently<br />
runs only on Windows NT, it will be ported to Unix-based platforms in<br />
the future.</p>
<p>Another advantage of Meta IP is its unique User-to-Address Mapping<br />
technology, which when used in conjunction with Check Point VPN-1<br />
and FireWall-1 , enables transparent and automatic implementation of<br />
user-based security policies in networks with dynamically assigned IP<br />
addresses. The UAM technology automatically and transparently maps a<br />
user's login name, login time, IP address, and physical or Media<br />
Access Control (MAC) address to an employee name, allowing<br />
administrators to match the name to an IP address in a dynamic<br />
environment.</p>
