Hi ASC, I don't agree Stonebeat "has more or less wiped themselves out of the market" just because they announce their own firewall. Check Point has it's own HA-solution as well and this didn't have any influence on their relationship either. Stonebeat also produces some more HA- and clustering solutions and not solely for Check Point Firewalls although that's where they come from.

But that said, is where the comparison stops. Stonesoft has announced that they're coming out with their own firewall, and I probably dont need to tell anyone what that is going to do with the relationship between them. You'll most probably see that Stonesoft some time in the future no longer is an OPSEC partner. Lets just say that almost every company I know in this country that used to sell Stonebeat, are these days throwing themselves at Rainfinity... I think Stonebeat has more or less wiped themselves out of the market... trying to launch their own firewall, what are they thinking ? Anyways: Rainfinity was hijacking the market before this ever got out in the open. Rainwall outperforms Stonebeat anyday both in ease of installation and throughput. And my impression is that even Check Point regards Rainwall as the top-notch solution!!
