Hi Mike, The first question you must ask yourself is whether or not you are prepared to put a PC-based solution inline in your network? So bypass switches may solve reliability issues, but why bother going to all that trouble with bypass switches and load balanced clusters when there are some excellent dedicated, ASIC-based IPS solutions available. TippingPoint, McAfee and TopLayer are the biggest players in this space, and should be on any shortlist.
Hello, Don't these same vendors you cite package other vendor's bypass switches inside their product to keep packets flowing? Keeping the ASIC discussion off the table, there shouldn't be a difference regarding bypass if the bypass switch is housed inside or outside the appliance, right?
