ISP Failover with Cisco ASA

@dyasny said in ISP Failover with Cisco ASA:
When I do a consulting gig building a DC, I always try to balance budget oriented solutions with hardware that is not going to be problematic. So when the client can afford cisco, we take it. When not, well, we look for solutions.
It's the brand we avoid most, for the same reason
Having been at two huge banks that were burned by being willing to use UCS, Cisco and enterprise are two words I never put together. From networking to phones to servers, Cisco is consistently overpriced and underperforming.

That's mostly true. But Cisco considers it real Cisco and it shows their view of themselves. And that, I always think, is important. Cisco doesn't seem themselves as an enterprise player. And I've been in sales meetings with Cisco and that definitely comes through when talking to them.
That's not what I got from my sales conversations with them. They were very explicit about real Cisco and the lesser sub-brands.

I absolutely loved UCS, even wrote the original oVirt/RHV plugin for the VMFEX cards. They were ahead of their time with those boxes, but the cloud pretty much killed everything really cool and advanced about HW
