Is Hacom Mars II Dual Blade good ?
- by Joachim H. Skeie
I am considering getting a Hacom Mars II Dual Blade for use as a firewall in a data-center for one of my colocated solutions. As the 1U enclosure have two identical firewalls, I am intending to use one of the firewalls as the external firewall using packet-filtering and load balancer (balancing load for my front-end nodes), while using the second as the internal firewall (as an application gateway).
But I have no experience with Hacom, or pfSense firewalls. They do look really good on paper, but how are they in practice ?
