Just a quick question. All the features/benefits , that this product provides:

* Stops thousands of attacks including Trojans, Worms, Viruses
* Blocks or rate-shapes peer-to-peer piracy
* Protects Web Services (Port 80 applications) from attack
* Secures Instant Messaging, VoIP, XML applications
* Delivers multi-gigabit switch-like performance
* Controls or stops traffic that is not mission critical

Couldn't you do all this with just a secure router and a good anti-virus? Why spend all that money on this, when you could easily set all this up in one linux box. Linux has routing capabilies and there are also enterprise class anti-virus solutions for it. I think you would get a bonus this year, by saving your company some money. This little magic box looks like the answer for those people to lazy to do it themselves. I'm not calling you lazy, but the type of person's using this tool are either the one's that don't have the skill to do this with open-source technologies and save money, or they are too lazy to make their networks secure with out this product.

I don't see why someone would spend all the money on this. But that's just me. I feel you can make an equal or better quality product with open-source technologies and not spend all the cash on toys we don't need. How do you feel about that?
