    Replace Fortigate 311B cluster with?

    Thanks all, does anyone know whether Fortigte will release a kind of 800D or something like that in 2015? Does a kind of roadmap for new hardware exist?

    Replace Fortigate 311B cluster with?

    Well, I once started with active-passice. The reason for "active-active" is for share the load for IPS to both units. Usually I do firmware upgrades when load is low. But I have to agree with you, in high load situation I´d probably get trouble when one of the units breaks away. So 800C would...

    Replace Fortigate 311B cluster with?

    Hi, in ~9 months our support for our 2x 2x Fortigate 311B cluster will end. We use IPS a lot but that (active-active) cluster doesn´t offer any real possibility to upgrade the devices themselves. So, what would you suggest? needs: - more IPS throughput which will easily last for the next...

    Layer 3 switch needed

    Hint: 2910AL and 3500yl need additional modules, before you can actually put in your SFP+ optice/cable or RJ45 cable for 10GbE. Those are rather expensive.

    Nutanix vs VSAN vs EVO: RAIL

    Two weeks ago one of our partners visited us and told us some horror stories/propaganda, but make perfect sense. Vendors start using cheap hardware for their SANs and if it fails they can replace it for cheap. Let´s look at the different SSDs: - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB with a TBW of ~74TB + 3...

    Nutanix vs VSAN vs EVO: RAIL

    Well, they say that they are best(?) for VDI because of their optimization software doing 99% from SSD cache. Enterprise? Of course supermicro is enterprise hardware, of course mentioned Sandisk´s SSD is enterprise and of course the 2 in 1 box with Windows Server 2012 R2 is enterprise and of...

    Nutanix vs VSAN vs EVO: RAIL

    1x Tintri T620 with 5 years of service ~75000,-$ including taxes For less money I can build myself a SAN/NAS with the same capacitiy but with full SAS SSD equipped, e.g. http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/CiB.cfm => Take enterprise SSDs instead of the HDDs, e.g. SanDisk Optimus Eco 2TB.

    Tintri VM-aware storage, anyone have experience?

    The problem with Tintri is its price. Did you look at that T520? For the price I can built myself a full SSD supermicro box with the same capacity (with some nice Seagate 1200 SAS 800GB), add Windows Server 2012 R2, FreeBSD, whatever and still have some money left. Then I do not need this...

    Tintri VM-aware storage, anyone have experience?

    So, Tintri is nothing more than a Supermicro server "Super Storage Bridge Bay (SBB)" (with some Linux? and a webgui onboard): Tintri unboxed: http://www.vhipster.com/2014/03/26/tintri-lab-setup-part-1/ I´d be interested in the filesystem being used...
