I'm running my cluster on a crossbeam box and have no complaints. You can also build out additional applications such as snort, av, url filtering and a host of best of breed products from the same chassis.

Support really sucks. Definitely finger-pointing between Nokia and Checkpoint when customers run into problem. It is NEVER a good idea to run checkpoint application software on top of an Operating System, IPSO in this case, because you are going to run into compability issue. I don't care if Nokia specifies Nokia as an appliance, it is still running IPSO with Checkpoint as application. I work for a Service Provider and I see this finger-pointing everyday between Nokia and Checkpoint. Crossbeam: Same issue as Nokia. Corrent: This is the best platform as far as I am concern because it runs Checkpoint SecurePlatform. The thing that I like about this is that if you do have issues, you deal directly with Checkpoint and there will be no finger-pointing from Checkpoint to anyone else because Checkpoint is responsible for the underlying OS, Redhat Linux in this case, as well. As you may have already noticed, Checkpoint is famous for blaming the problem on other vendors. With SPLAT, checkpoint will have no choice but to help you fix the problem. That's another reason to stay from Nokia, Solaris, Crossbeam or Windows.
