Title: RE: [FW-1] High Availability Additionaly Nokia fail over doesn't require any other licence or product. But perhaps should you keep an eye on Checkpoint NG FP2 load sharing functionnality. 2 active FW's, it's quite more attractive than a level 1 fail over.... -----Message d'origine-----
Well, I suspect you will get a veritable flood of replies on this one :-) The two HA solutions with FW-1 that I have experience with are Stonebeat Full cluster and the Nokia solution. The stonebeat setup I worked with used sun E250 enforcement servers with gig E interfaces and a ultra 10 for a management server I've done numerous setups with nokia boxes using IP 330's and 440's with a variety of interfaces. The stonbeat was a pain in the a$$, and product support seemed more interested in deflecting blame and making excuses than working the problems. I walked away with a bad taste in my mouth. The Nokia solution works beautifully. very easy to configure, maintain, and administer. Only drawback is failover can take a couple of seconds. If you require subsecond failover, it's not a good choice. I cannot comment on rainwall or other solutions, as I have not implemnented and/or supported them. Have a good one.

I am looking at a clustering or load balancing solution for my environment. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should look at? I am presently looking at RainWall and Checkpoints High Availability module. Thanks
