Re: 10G switchrecommendaton

2012-01-27 Thread James McMurry
We have used both Arista and the LG-Ericsson switches, both have done very 
well, and both have a great $/value proposition.


We use the Solarflare boards in an upcoming product ourselves, and they have 
been quite dependable, and again the performance is great.


Just our 2 cents

 Not to mention Arista's cli runs a busybox Linux inside!

 Last I checked, Arista used Fedora Linux, with x86 dual-core CPUs and 4GB
 RAM.
 Their CLI was written in Python or Perl as well, and they encourage hacking
 it for cool new things.

Re: Internet Edge and Defense in Depth

2011-12-06 Thread JAMES MCMURRY
I have seen at quite a few of our customers locations, starting out with a 
lofty goal of putting everything in a single box (UTM) and turning every single 
option on.

In ~ 30% of the firms who do so it works out ok (not great, but it works).  In 
the majority, the customer winds up turning features off one by one, and moving 
those to another system.

Ditto, and I do find it informative.
