Hi,
I would ask your FW1 reseller to send you an abridged copy of the Checkpoint
review of PIX, it's rather good. If speed is what you want, check out the
Checkpoint performance numbers on their web site, it shows the platform with
the mostest is the Nokia 740, it will now pip 2 Gbps. The 530 will do approx
520 mbps. The Nortel stuff certainly looks and reads good too, but it sounds
like you have a Cisco infrastructure, lots of Nokia's in that environment.
Bestest,
nick

You [your boss] should look into the FW-1 that is going to be running on
Alteon [Nortel now] hardware....

PIX is the fastest, yes, but how fast is fast enough?
Do you need a car that will do 120 when the speed limit
is 75? Do you need a firewall that can keep up with a
saturated 100mb interface when all you have is a T-1 to
the Internet? Better, no. Checkpoint is the industry
leader because of their well designed intuitive management
interface. Manageability is everything.
