Hi all
My employer is currently in the market for a new firewall app. The
requirement is one that can handle in excess of 250,000
simultaneous connections.
We operate several virtual ISPs, ranging in size from a few hundred
users through to well over 100,000. These offer POTS dialup and
RADSL access. We also offer an in-building access service. On
top of these two, we are in the process of designing and
implementing a fully-unified voice/fax/data platform utilising EoF,
ATM and SWB carriers, and SDSL when it becomes available. All
the dedicated connection services (will) offer an optional managed
firewall service.
Does anyone have any comments/suggestions on firewalls that
can handle this type of capacity? VPN compatability is essential,
as is rack-mount chassis design. So far the only app I've been
able to find in this class is the NetScreen 1000. It looks damn
good on paper, but the end user perspective is always more
revealing.
Thanks
