I'm in a situation to investigate and recommend the firewall equipment
needed for our company's Application Services Provider services. We
will be launching the ASP services to our customers in Q4. We have
appx. 150 customers, which at least 25 should be able to use the tools
simultaneously.
This ASP network will be a seperate from our main network and would have
a dedicated T-1. This would allow us to move it to an ISP with a
higher bandwidth in the future.
Our ASP equipment so far:
4 Sun 450r quad cpus with 1GB RAM servers. We're strictly a Sun house,
but will
be porting the software to Linux and HP in the future.
My questions:
Which Firewall product do most companies use for e-business services?
Firewall-1
and Cisco PIX seem to be the norm in my opinion, but any other FW
products besides
these two? We're currently using Sonicwall DMZ for our company's
firewall, but this
little pup was not built for e-business services.
Sidewinder as I recall from previous posts, seems to be another choice
but it was also
called the "Yugo" of Firewalls as compared to FW-1.
Is there a site or references where I can find and learn more about
planning for an ASP site?
Any suggestions what FW equipment to use if "you" were in my shoes?
Thanks,
-Ernie
