RE: Reflex IPS adds security to your VM life

I tested this product recently and the performance was horrible! It drove my CPU utilization for my ESX server sky high and only got me about 80 meg of throughput to my virtual servers.

I also had to put the virtual switch in promiscuous mode to get it to work. And that is a big security problem because each VM can see each others traffic.

Reflex VSA Rocks!

Reflex was a lifesaver for us.

Since rolling out VMs a year ago we have been having difficulties in several areas and this product has solved most all of them.

*We had no visibility into our virtual infrastructure. Reflex VSA basically mapped out our virtual network.

*Once it was mapped out, it went straight to work protecting the environment. This was a huge security issue for us. We're a bank and cannot afford to have security holes.

*The price of the product was easy to handle.

*You could tell that performance had been optimized for virtual environments...this was not just a regular security solution hacked up for VMs.
