No, it's not a new way to eat or carry water from the well. Bucketizing, according to a security marketer who coined the term, is a willful segmentation of hardware functions, including security. A bucketized piece of equipment is supposed to give customers more choices and flexibility.
So rather than functions that are integrated in silicon or consolidated from a management perspective, bucketized features are more modular. And they are likely to start popping up in invoices for security products and services. Bucketize is a descriptive if inelegant word, and probably has more marketing wallop than "mix-and-match." But keep an eye out for it in high-end networking platforms and switches, where multiple functions and processes (including security) could benefit from bucketizing.
