Depends on what you need, we are running an X40 for our site, and I
absolutely love it. I also have a connectra test box on SPLAT and it runs
well also. We went with the X40 because of the possibility of running
multiple best of breed apps on it. It also has load balancing built in so
no need to buy an extra clusterxl license or another load balancer.

Subject: [FW-1] Intel vs. special purpose FW-1 servers
Hello,
We are working on a project to upgrade our firewall infrastructure.
One of the questions is whether to use FW-1 on a standard Intel server or to
use a special-purpose optimized version of FW-1 on a dedicated hardware
platform such as Nokia firewall appliance or Crossbeam systems C30/X40.
Does anyone have any advice on what factors are important when making such a
decision?
Thanks,
Emily
