Considering the StoneBeat bashing so far...
As far as the Software HA solutions:
Our company provides both solutions (Rainfinity and StoneBeat) and we have
certainly not "thrown" ourselves at Rainfinity.
Rainfinity is very easy to install/configure. While StoneBeat does take
some brain cells, I have seen it perform very well over the past 4 years.
StoneBeat does provide the advantage of having multiples nodes in the
cluster and using multicast.
Overall, both products offer a good solution. Each has its advantages and
disadvantages.
Download both products, and see which one is more appealing to you in terms:
-security
-ease of installation
-ease of management
-solving your HA needs
-solving your traffic load requirements
-fitting into your budget
As far as the relationship, I think Check Point is fair minded in terms of
the OPSEC certification. Personally, any sudden ideas of de-certification
as an OPSEC solution rather quickly would seem drastic just because they
announced a new firewall. Any vendor with a better firewall solution and the
right marketing should lead the market anyways! ;)

Subject: [FW1] rainwall and stonebeat
I am looking for an HA product for FW-1/VPN-1. I did a search on RAINWALL
and STONEBEAT. I find more hits on STONEBEAT than RAINWALL.
Is it a reliable indication of the deployment of HA for FW-1/VPN-1? (I
realize that it is not a scientific method of "evaluation".)
Any comments on these two products are appreciated.
