It will no longer be supported as of December, 2024. For more information, refer to the [Support Life Cycle Policy](https://www.checkpoint.com/support-services/support-life-cycle-policy/) page (section: Quantum Edge).** This article describes all platforms on which Quantum Edge (former CloudGuard Edge) is supported. ### Background > Quantum Edge securely connects your Branch Office to the Cloud. > > Connecting branches directly to the cloud significantly increases security risks. Branches need protection against sophisticated Gen V cyber attacks. Quantum Edge protects branch offices on-premises with top-rated Threat Prevention, which can be deployed in minutes and managed by a unified threat prevention and access platform. > > For enterprises that require on-premises branch office security for data privacy, compliance, or location requirements, Quantum Edge can run as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) aka Virtual Machine (VM) on SD-WAN, Universal Customer Premises Equipment (uCPE) devices, and other hypervisor platforms. > > Key Benefits: > > * **Secure**: Top-rated threat prevention with 100% cyber attack catch rate > * **Flexible**: Five minutes to protect your SD-WAN on-premises > * **Efficient**: Unified security architecture reduces OpEx costs by up to 40% and CapEx by 20% ### General Documentation for Quantum Edge > |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| > | User Guides | > | [Check Point 1400 Appliances Centrally Managed R77.20.87 Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R77.20.87/1400_Central_AdminGuide/html_frameset.htm) | > | Related Solutions | > | [sk161892: Quantum Edge Known Limitations](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk161892) (R77.20.87) | > | [sk166513: Quantum Edge Known Limitations](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk166513) (R80.20.X) | > | [sk151574: R77.20.87 for Small and Medium Business Appliances](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk151574) | > | [sk117544: Security Management Portal R12.30 for SMB, Branch Office and Ruggedized Appliances](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk117544) | > | [sk165996: Quantum Edge Automation for KVM Based Platforms](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165996&) | Supported Platforms {#Supported Platforms} ------------------------------------------ > |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| > | **Partner** | **Quantum Edge Version** | **Updated On** | **Link to SK Article** | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk163432/download (1)1911060150.jpg) | R80.20.35 | 09 Jan 2021 | [Quantum Edge for VeloCloud](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk166422) | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk161272/versaLogo20200420195014.png) | R77.20.87 R80.20.10 | 30 Mar 2020 | [Quantum Edge for Versa](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165478) | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk161272/citrix-logo-small-300x22520200506212821.png) | R77.20.87 R80.20.15 | 03 Mar 2021 | [Quantum Edge for Citrix](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165479) | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk161272/Aryaka-logo-color-01_8202010182025231.28.19.jpg) | R80.20.10 R80.20.15 | 28 Jan 2021 | [Quantum Edge for Aryaka](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk168039) | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk161272/oracle202012300120401.png) | R80.20.10 R80.20.15 | 10 Feb 2021 | [Quantum Edge for Oracle SD-WAN](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk171497) | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk161272/kvm_logo20200420202627.jpg) | R80.20.05 R80.20.10 R80.20.15 | 28 Jan 2021 | [Quantum Edge for ESXi and KVM](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk168204) | > | ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk161272/vSphere-Icon-Color-2020-85x85202007261523211.png) | R80.20.05 R80.20.10 R80.20.15 | 21 Oct 2020 | [Quantum Edge for ESXi and KVM](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk168204) | --- # Agent Instructions This content is from the Check Point Support Center (https://support.checkpoint.com), the official knowledge base for Check Point cybersecurity products. ## Navigating This Knowledge Base - **Complete index**: [llms.txt](https://support.checkpoint.com/llms.txt) - **All SK articles**: [SecureKnowledge Sitemap](https://support.checkpoint.com/sitemaps/secureknowledge-sitemap-index.xml) - **SK article URL pattern**: `https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/{skId}` - **Markdown responses**: AI bot User-Agents automatically receive `text/markdown` content
