subject: Aip Ssc-5 Vs. Aip Ssm-10 [print this page]

Reviewing some more networking equipment.

Both run Cisco's well reknown adaptive security appliance, The

AIP SSC-5

and the AIP

SSM-10. These are 2 slightly differently built items, but have the same

sake. Rapidly deployable, and easily manageable they enable small businesses,

branch offices and enterprise teleworker environments to minimize operation

costs. All come with functions like firewall protection, intrusion prevention,

antivirus, worm scanning, malware protection.

The SSM-10 is

rack-mountable, while the cheaper SSC-5 is an external hardware. The SSC-5 has a

total of 1 expansion slots, and an Intel Celeron 1.60 GHz processor, 256 mega of

installed RAM, 64 MB of flash memory, the firewall's throughput is 150 Mbps,

while VPN throughput is 100 Mbps, can handle 10 IPSec VPN peers and 2 SSL VPN

peers. Confronted with the SSM-10's features, the SSC-5 seems puny. While having

the same amount of flash memory, and RAM, the SSM-10 can handle 50 IPSec VPN

peers, and 50 Web VPN peers, runs 6k concurrent sessions (32k in

virtualization).

These excellent items might non function through time,

in that case, I don't recommend buying new ones, instead send them to get

repaired, or at least buy used ones. Dominating prices lead to a certainly

under-estimated second hand market, which still has to show us it's true

potential.

Baynetwork also offer lifetime

warranty on Cisco and Juniper product they sell, as well as 90 days free

technical support, Cisco and Juniper repair and free continental US ground

shipping.

After all, if it's checked, you got to consider this is not

something you wear, and should be seen, instead, a repaired unit will function

the same way as a new one does. Save the planet!
