Hardware and Performance / Deciso hardware throughput
« on: August 16, 2017, 11:20:19 pm »
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has information on the Deciso or similar hardware. We are running into a bit of an issue with Cisco FWSM on gigabit and we plan on moving to 10Gb soon so the Deciso appliance looks good.
We are looking to push at least half the wire speed over time, not sure how that translates to ppm and whether the appliance can handle it, the extra gigabit ports are nice but may not be used, but if they can be configured as A DMZ. We're looking at Cumulus for our switches so inter-VLAN routing (~10) will be done on switch but we need this for a connection to the campus which are dual gig links and soon will be a 10G and 1G backup. Firewalls from other vendors are $25-75k, $3k sounds really good but I want to make sure, so if anyone has actually pushed it to its limits.
We are currently running OpnSense on a VM to replace a Cisco PIX and so far been very happy.
