[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] High Availability
Hi, I would agree.....with both James and Steve..... >The stonbeat was a pain in the a$$, and product support seemed more >interested in deflecting blame and making excuses than working the >problems. I walked away with a bad taste in my mouth. Yes...... Also, I would not suggest that anyone implement StoneBeat, moving forward due to the whole StoneBeat vs. CheckPoint legal issue (just resolved). CheckPoint allegedly strong armed its resellers into not selling the StoneBeat firewall, if they sold FW-1...... While this issue, was solved, it can't be good for the StoneBeat/CheckPoint relationship going further.... http://www.stonesoft.com/investors/ StoneBeat barley worked before this (and does cost loads of $$$), after this legal tangle, I can only imagine things will get worse......in terms of their relationship with CheckPoint and access to internal CheckPoint info., so they can make the solution work.... Nokia, does work on a networking level.......but yeah its not Load Balancing, just HA, simple and it works as HA...... Have not tried the Rainfinity solution, many says its nice.......aswell. There is the old BGP, failover hack.....you use four Cisco's, 2 in front, and 2 behind, running BGP, one behind and up front run BGP, if path dies, fails over to other upfront and behind pair....quite messy...gives the same as Nokia VRRP, no failover-just HA, Nokia VRRP much better................... And many also like the RadWare solution, also never tried..... -Bye Joe McGean Technical Security Architect Allianz, Ireland www.allianz.ie James Schnack <[email protected]> on 12/04/2002 14:04:00 Please respond to Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] cc: (bcc: Joe McGean/AGFIL/AGF) Subject: Re: [FW-1] High Availability I agree with Steve on this one. I have a bit of experience with Nokia's VRRP solution, and it works "as advertised"... ;) I definately recommend it, although you should keep in mind that it is NOT a load balancing solution, just HA. (There's a way to do a bit of load-balancing by configuring multiple virtual routers, but it's more like a workaround...) As for SB (it provides both HA and LB), my experience is more limited, but the little I have interacted with SB support, I got the same feeling Steve did. Coincidence ? Maybe... Just my thoughts.
