RE: Semi OT: Cisco versus Checkpoint Juniper
Interesting, thanks! As for Juniper, might you have any opinions on the Juniper SRX line (uses JunOS) vs the SSG line (uses ScreenOS)? I know the SRX has about 4 times the throughput of the SSG line. Thanks again... -- richard From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 8:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Semi OT: Cisco versus Checkpoint Juniper At the low to mid-range, Juniper (with their SSG line) is more than price/feature competitive with CheckPoint, et al. Things get dicier when you get up into the multi Gbit range, but for the scope of what was requested, they are a good fit. Juniper messed up Netscreen from an organizational standpoint. That's why some of them left (at the time of the acquisition) and formed Fortinet. PA is more feature rich than the others, but the pricing is not for the faint of heart, especially at the lower-end of the scale. Fortinet has a really good mix of feature and pricing, but I'm not happy with what they did at the low end with their last OS release -- allegedly in the name of performance/stability. (Mind you, the features they took out of v5 all work with version 4 of their OS) Sophos has done really well with their acquisition of Astaro, and their looking to take on the mid-market with their pricing and feature bundles. Cisco strength, IMO, remains in core switch networking. If they had to sell the ASAs without the benefit of the Catalyst family as a tie-in, they'd have given up that business long ago. Same for their load-balancing prowess. Neither their pricing nor their feature set are appealing in areas outside of their core. CheckPoint licensing has still not been simplified to the degree that I would like, and their strengths are more suited to large enterprises than SMB or the mid-market space. Not a bad product by any stretch of the imagination, but you can get more for your money elsewhere. That's just my view of the landscape...

If all the VMs are in a separate OU, you could do an AD search with your VM OU as the root to get the list of machines to backup.

RE: Multithreaded tarbal or tar app for windows
Multithreaded isn't going to help. Think about what is going on during an archive and compress verses an archive only operation. When you are compressing and archiving, the file data is read in a single thread (very low CPU needed), then divided up into chunks. These chunks can then be dispatched to multiple threads for compression, then another thread can collect the compressed chunks and write then in the correct order to the output. Since compression requires lots of CPU, multiple threads can give you big gains. Plus, your reader and writer threads can overlap operation with the compression threads effectively eliminating IO time from the equation. With archiving only, there isn't any work to divvy up for multiple threads to operate on. You have to read data, and write it in order. The limit is going to be how fast your IO subsystem can read data and write it back out.

These chunks can then be dispatched to multiple threads for compression, then another thread can collect the compressed chunks and write then in the correct order to the output. Since compression requires lots of CPU, multiple threads can give you big gains. Plus, your reader and writer threads can overlap operation with the compression threads effectively eliminating IO time from the equation. ** ** With archiving only, there isn’t any work to divvy up for multiple threads to operate on. You have to read data, and write it in order. The limit is going to be how fast your IO subsystem can read data and write it back out. ** ** *From:* justino garcia [mailto:jgarciaitl...@gmail.com] *Sent:* Tuesday, March 26, 2013 4:27 PM *To:* NT System Admin Issues *Subject:* Re: Multithreaded tarbal or tar app for windows ** ** Yes faster operations.

Re: Semi OT: Cisco versus Checkpoint Juniper
The SRX line is Juniper's enterprise line. The SSG is based on their Netscreen acquisition many moons ago. The cost difference between those two platforms is not insignificant. My personal experience is with the SSG family, and it will be the one that I would expect to be more applicable to the original post. For the money of the SRX platform, I would go with one of the other vendors... Compare the Fortigate 60C, for example, with the Juniper SRX210 http://www.fortinet.com/products/fortigate/60C.html (look at the specs tab) http://www.juniper.net/as/en/products-services/security/srx-series/srx210/#specs Similar pricing for the base models, but the Fortigate has a bit more functionality at that price point, IMO.

If they had to sell the ASAs without the benefit of the Catalyst family as a tie-in, they'd have given up that business long ago. Same for their load-balancing prowess.
