I currently have in my lab 2 IP 440s that we are testing. They are
extremely impressive. I think we will be moving to the 650's for
production since we are not getting the "dogpile" effect as people
discover there will be a DMZ where they can safely do business with other
vendors.
The fail-over capabilities are realy nice when you are using the HA
configuration. Redundancy and load balancing can be acheived without any
third party devices or software.
At this point we have been testing mostly fail-over, simulated brown-outs,
power spikes, RFI and EMI (using a combination of drills and hand-held
radios operated in close proximity) as well as impact test (we physically
bump and tug at the firewall to simulate idiots in your data center). The
firewall was able function down to about 67volts, it ignored our radio and
drills, and we were not able to make it reboot keeping the "impact"
testing withing rational limits.
We have yet to finish our throughput testing, but if you contactme
directly, I'd be happy to let you know what we find. We should be getting
teh 650's in soon too.
