[AusNOG] Some rough numbers

[Jacob Kino]

We had the same requirements and opted for the FortiGate 1000C platform in an HA pair.

http://www.fortinet.com/sites/default/files/productdatasheets/FortiGate-1000C.pdf

2 x 10G, plenty of 1G, 20Gbps firewall.

For us one of the major advantages because we provide hosted firewall was the ability to use Virtual Domains or VDOMs which provide virtualized instances (up to 250, 10 by default).

We licensed all functionality including IPS, AV, application control etc. however you can license them in a more a la carte way if required. I think if you only want basic firewall there are cheaper options.

Support can be 8x5 or 24x7 with various options for advanced hardware replacement. We opted to purchase a 3rd box as a cold spare.

Pricing in my experience is largely dependent on what kind of discount the vendor wants to give. End of Quarter or Financial year is your friend.

Full Disclosure: We are Fortinet Partners.

If you want more info on the pricing side ping me off list.

Cheers,

Jacob

Very true, I know I am going arse backwards for this.

So my requirements
2 x 10G port
??? some 1G ports
Able to route 10Gb/s
Handle OSPF,BGP
Some sort of cluster setup so HSRP or VRRP (later preferred)

I am guessing the price differenture is here
So  Maint and support ... Enterprise or non Enterprise

I guess to make it easy, Cisco, Juniper ...

Oh somebody suggested, the linux OS distro that sits on Dell (or other router/switches), sorry can't remember the name


Thanks
A

Do you have a preferred Vendor?  There are hundreds of options out there, and I am pretty sure you are going to be having a dozen offline emails from people trying to sell you something.

First think about what you want to do, the scenario its going to be used, the features you need, the supportability, etc etc.  Then re-post.

Looking for a 2 node cluster Firewall with 10G ports say min 2. L3 FW

I know its broad, just want to get a feel for the range of price..
