Re: [FW-1] Pix vs FW1



What do you need the Rainwall for? The nokia's failover by themselves.

Just a thought for this discussion:

The "Checkpoint solution" actually involves 3 vendors: Checkpoint, the OS
(possibly Nokia), and Rainwall. That's quite a load of complexity for a
system that needs high availability.

Another question: will you use the firewall to encrypt/decrypt your VPN
connections? If you've got a heavy volumn of VPN traffic, this may not be a
great idea.

Hi

We're looking into a fault tolerant firewall solution and would appreciate
some real world feedback.

We need the failover to be 100% stateful, VPNs and all.  There cannot be any
renegotiation of tunnels if we're in the middle of a transaction, it needs
to be seamless.

We have narrowed down our options to Cisco PIX and FW-1 using Rainwall.  We
would use the Cisco version of Enterprise Management Console - I think it is
called VMS (VPN Monitoring / Security Management Solution) so management
isn't an issue (unless VMS is no good).  I appreciate that Rainwall is load
balancing instead of failover but it seems to do what we want.

Our major issue is that the FW-1 solution is 3-4 times the price of the
Cisco solution however if the functionality is so much better we could
persuade the powers that be.

Any info gratefully received.

Ali Port.
