asked on 

VIrtual firewall appliance - Any recommendations?

Hi All,

We are installing an ESX server in a hosted env.
What is the best way to firewall the servers running on this?
Do you recommend a physical appliance or a virtual firewall appliance.

Thanks

We have and are using ISA 2006 as a virtual firewal and reverse proxy. Works great and is easy to configure.

Thanks all, we ended up going with a Fortinet, using sub interfaces.

recommendation for a virtual firewall on a level to monitor the vSwitch traffic on ESX 3.5 VI3?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
