Starting with the next post, lbdigest.com will be doing a series of product reviews. Just like any other industry publication, these reviews will be arranged with the individual vendors, and no money will be accepted from the vendors for the review. (Unless the amount of money will completely fill up a suitcase with large bills. Then all bets are off.) I try to stay as vendor neutral as possible, although with any review system, there will be some vendors that we end up liking more than others. The primary goal is to inform the readership about what’s out there in the market.
If you’re a vendor and you’ve got a product you’d like reviewed at lbdigest.com, drop me a line, and we’ll see what we can do.
We’re in the process of vetting a pair of A10 Networks AX2200s to replace our Sun N1216s. They’re pretty interesting boxes, and we’d love to see an independent review of them. Our short list for replacing the N1216s were F5, Citrix Netscaler and Cisco.
