[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Which OS platform to use????
You may be referring to http://www.checkpoint.com/products/firewall-1/pbrief.html for the performance comparison. I don't do too much with NT/2k as a FW platform but I know it is not "orders of magnitude" less in capacity than *nix-based systems (as the bar graph in the above link will support, if it is to be believed). In NT's defense, a skilled NT admin can _usually_ lock-down a box as well as a *nix admin.

Andy, Checkpoint used to have a page on their web site that showed their performance measurement statistics for a Solaris based firewall vs an NT based one. The Unix system was orders of magnitude greater in capacity than the NT system. I don't know if this page is still there, it might be. Also with a UNIX system you can more precisely control what packages are installed and thus decrease potential vulnerabilities.
