Quoting Paul Bone <[email protected]>:
HI All,
We currently run hosting of various Windows and Linux virtual
servers for our customers behind an HA pair of Sonicwall firewalls.
These are coming EOL and starting to reach capacity limits so we
are looking to replace them, but I?m considering options.
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the merits of a
shared hardware firewall (we are starting to hit overlapping IP
issues) vs virtual appliances or even a virtual Linux installation
per client.
And if anyone wants to share what they currently do I?d be grateful!
Thanks
Paul
I'd suggest looking at virtual for this sort of thing, given that even
the big "hardware" firewall vendors are tending to virtualising on
their own hardware at the moment.
"Network Function Virtualisation" (NFV) is apparently the phrase the
cool kids are using. Looks kinda like the old Inkra VSA that Savvis
used to resell to me
