An excellent point. Nokia has some handy FW management tools that Compaq lacks. However, I don't know if they necessarily justify the cost differential. The Horizon Manager you mention costs an extra $20k plus a Sun workstation to manage 100 firewalls. Add that to the $170k premium for the hardware and you've spent almost $200k. For that kind of money, I could hire another full-time firewall administrator to cover for me while I play golf. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Jones How much is your time worth? In this industry, a lot - probably a lot more is spent on the salaries of those supporting the firewalls than the firewalls themselves. In addition to Voyager web-based mgmt, Nokia has Horizon Manager which greatly eases the deployment & software management of multiple firewalls in the case of your 100 firewall example). It is especially nice for those in firewall support that enjoy their nights and weekends off. ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
