[Sidewinder] Virtual Firewalls with One appliance

[Sidewinder moderated discussion list]

Thanks Matt - I have some further information from our Sales engineer.

The "Virtual firewall (one appliance - up to 32 firewalls)" refers to a
new McAfee Firewall product, The Secure Firewall 8150 model.

It is a standalone dedicated appliance bundled with 32 McAfee Firewall
virtual appliance containers, one McAfee Control Centre virtual
appliance container and VMware ESX server licenses. So basically it is a
VMware ESX server with Secure Firewall VM's with all licenses and
built-in management as one package.

It is a 2U appliance and has 20 x 10/100/1000 (max. 20) copper
interfaces, RAID 5, dual power. 

McAfee are still considering offering a virtual guest image for
customers with existing VMware ESX environments.
Cheers!
Kurt.

I haven't tried it but I would assume that this refers to the Virtual
Appliance product for VMWare:
