Hi Ben,

We're not running on Dell hardware IIRC, it's OEM'd on Network Engines 
appliances in this particular instance.  Support is handled by 
Sourcefire as well, this is just a partnership to sell Sourcefire 
products through Dell's existing e-commerce site.  Sourcefire's 
appliances ship on our own OEM'd hardware as well as on Sun v60x/v65x 
and IBM eServer chassis currently.
