| Introduction to R82.00.X Spark Firewall {#Introduction} ------------------------------------------------------- With the release of our new Spark Firewall R82.00.X version, Check Point introduces code alignment between our Spark Firewall product line with the Quantum R82 Security Gateway release. This major Spark Firewall release adds many new capabilities, as well as a wide range of stability and performance improvements. Spark Firewall R82.00.X releases are supported on the new 2530 / 2550 / 2560 / 2570 / 2580 2590 appliances. Starting in R82.00.10, Spark Firewall R82 releases are also supported on all Pro appliance 15x5 models, in addition to 1600, 1800, 1900, and 2000. These management modes are supported: * Locally Managed (Optionally store logs and events in the Spark Management cloud service) * Central Management For more information about Spark Firewall Appliances, refer to: * [sk183193](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk183193) - 2530, 2550, 2560, 2570, 2580 Security Gateways * [sk181080](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk181080) - 1900 / 2000 Series Security Gateways * [sk168880](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk168880) - 1600 / 1800 Series Security Gateways * [sk157412](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk157412) - 1500 Pro Series Security Gateways (1535 / 1555, 1575 / 1595) * [sk181492](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk181492) - 1595R Security Gateway Check Point is committed to providing the best and most up-to-date security for all deployments including small businesses, medium businesses, and branch offices. R82 Code Alignment More * * Embedded Gaia software inherits its code base from the latest R82 version of enterprise appliances. Therefore, although not specifically mentioned, the R82.00.X Spark Firewalls inherit all maintrain limitations (see [sk181128](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk181128)). * As the majority of R\&D efforts now focus on R82 code base, we encourage our customers to start evaluating and migrating to the new code base. * Upgrade restrictions: Only Pro models (1535 / 1555 / 1555 / 1575 / 1575R / 1595R / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000) can upgrade to R82.00. Other models (for example, 1530 / 1550 / 1570 / 1590) are blocked from this upgrade by default.
