I'm looking at adding a second FW-1 box and am researching the pro/cons of using hardware solutions such as Foundry's ServerIron and F5's BigIP versus software solutions such asStoneBeats and Checkpoints HA solutions.
Has anybody got any experience with the hardware solutions? War Stories? What's the best value (I know that Checkpoint's solution is only HA).
High in my list is ease of implementation and low cost, low maintance.
