Thanks Tom,
 
I'm just asking questions.  It's no biggie if we stay with out current server
and just upgrade it to ISA2k4.  It's budget time and you all know how we have to
deal with the "what if's" every year.  The appliance is cool, I was just looking
for some opinions on them.
 
Thanks,
 
Nick Clark

Hi Nick,
 
Here's my view of the ISA appliances at this time:
 
Network Engines NS series -- exceptionally hardened. As provides the closest
experience you'll find to an "hardware firewall" you'll ever see with an ISA
appliance.
 
Rimapp RoadBLOCK -- swiss army knife of ISA appliances. Has tons of add ons. Not
sure yet how well they all work with each other when turned on.
 
HP DL320 ISA box -- Pre-install. Ask your wife to install Win2003 and ISA and
bring the box back to you. OK, there is some server management software on the
box too.
 
Celestix -- Haven't seen it.
 
HTH,
 
Tom

We are in the process of preparing our fiscal budget and our current ISA2000 is
on the block to be replaced.  Instead of talking to sales people about how great
their product is I wanted to hear from those here that have gained any knowledge
about the new ISA appliances.  I'm just looking for any pros and/or cons that
aren't obvious - any pitfalls I may encounter with an appliance that I'm already
use to doing with my current setup?  Thanks!
