Re: Firewall Vendors

We are a small K-12 boarding school and am a big fan of our Palo Alto.  I realize we use it differently than colleges, 
but I really have enjoyed it.  Our primary usage is blocking content and time by age, student, prefect etc.  Primarily 
OS/x, IPad, and BYOD.

Here is a case study that we did with them, at my request:  Case

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.
