Speaking of firewall turnkey solutions I have worked on a PIX and
Fortigate firewalls. I took me 1 hour to figure out the Fortigate and
PIX 3 weeks. Lahat https GUI interface sa Fortigate . The founders
Fortigate are from Netscreen who were also original Cisco guys. They
have the bright idea of putting the all of the software in ASIC
(application specific IC). The HD is only for logging purposes. So
imagine everything running in chip speed --- the firewall, anti-virus,
IDS, web filter and later spam. Most of Fortigate clients are Asian
companies but given time they will become prevasive in the US. If you
can look for a dealer in HK that would great. My biggest question was on
the Anti-virus how fast will it react to a wild virus. No definite
assurance but I have set it to update every hour. The guy who is
managing the anti-virus part was from Symantec so I did not worry much
after it reacted to the all the Beagles, myDoom on the wild. Wala akong
commision tigil na ako sa pag benta. Just give you a good idea of how
an appliance should be integrated if ever we think of an appliance
concept. I tried to configure a Linux firewall but since I am a newbie I
went to for something built already after so many experimentation.

Haven't really tweaked the appliances that much, as
once the vendor set it up, we haven't really had the
need to modify any of its config settings.

Does anyone have an idea how much the
locally-available firewall
appliances are going for? Would you think these
prices are reasonable? if
not, would it be better to buy abroad and just bring
it in through
friends? What do you guys think?
I've got a possible client who's interested. I've
brought up the idea of
using Smoothwall, but they seem inclined towards a
turnkey solution that's
easy to administer. So they're looking at one of
those rack-mounted
thingies.
God bless!
