Astaro Security Gateway Appliance

[Edward Tracy <tracyeg () YAHOO COM>]

We’re evaluating security appliances and had a very
impressive demo of the Astaro Security Gateway appliance (Gartner-Visionary Quadrant).  A lot is packaged into their 
solution (mail security, firewall, vpn, antivirus checking, IM control, etc.).  I quickly received a list of higher 
ed’s running the product
that wasn’t all that useful.  References were small scale to our proposed use.  While I await a better list, anyone 
running Astaro’s solution?  How large ofa user base are you working with?  Any reviews (positive or
negative) you can share would be appreciated.
