Re: Firewall Vendors

[Manuel Amaral <Manuel.Amaral () OLIN EDU>]

+1 for Palo Alto.   We've been using their 5020's and are very happy with them.   Threat protection and the free 
wildfire feature works great.  We're also using Procera units for bandwidth management and haven't considered 
eliminating them, at least not yet anyway.  HTH.

Manny

Palo Alto Networks.  We have had a pair of their next generation PA 5050s and have been very happy with them.

Subject: [SECURITY] Firewall Vendors

Greetings,

At Maryville we currently use a Sonicwall firewall that is rapidly reaching end of life and are starting to explore 
alternative vendors.  Curious which vendors and models others are using for your firewall solution.  We also use 
Packetshaper as part of our solution and we would consider a single firewall device and eliminate the use of 
Packetshaper if we can find the right solution.

Regards,

Rick.
