SBS 2008 - Firewall Appliance?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

Just wondered what firewall appliance people are using with SBS 2008?
We have long being supplying Cisco Pixes to sit on the outside of ISA
as a "double safe" but Cisco's licensing model makes the Pix/ASA
device very expensive when each client is connecting to it.

We have also supplied some of the Netgear ProSafe router/firewalls
with success, but they don't really have the same "image" as Cisco and
they are easily bought off the shelf which limits our markup
potential.

TIA
.
