Hello, I work in a midsize company in the production industry, we have 1000 employs, 300 of these are working in the office space, we host all of the servers\systems here in our own datacenter, about 200 virtual machines.
We are now starting to look at internal firewalls and have been in contact with both Palo Alto and Fortinet and have gotten price offerings and models that they want to sell us, that they think should be good in our enviorment.
Fortigate want to sell us 1500d and Palo Alto want to sell us 3220.
It’s obvious that these are two different types of products and the real questions is about Palo Altos counterpart for 1500D and Fortinet’s counterpart for the 3220. What models are comparebale in price\preformance?
We have tried to measure the throughput in our HP core switches that do the core routing at the moment. The bandwidth are low except for short burst of backup jobs and data transfers that could be excluded from the internal firewall. It’s hard for us to give an exact number for the bandwidth because of how the network infrastructure is built.
The problem is that we feel that we are given price offerings at two different places in the product ranges which makes it very hard to compare the prices and the performance.
Edit1: I removed some text, it just made the question more complicated than it needed to be.
