A Six-Step Plan for Competitive Device Evaluations

IT organizations are upgrading to faster and more intelligent content-aware IT infrastructures to support customers, users, and business operations as a whole. The sophisticated high-performance network and security devices within these infrastructures require a more comprehensive approach to pre-deployment testing than traditional testing tools can provide. This paper presents a six-step methodology for conducting competitive product evaluations that provide advance insight into the performance, security, and stability of devices within production network and data center environments. By following the methodology presented in this paper, organizations will:

  • Select the right firewall, IPS, UTM, load balancer, virtualized server, or other device to meet business and IT objectives.
  • Understand device capabilities to improve infrastructure planning and resiliency.
  • Save up to 50 percent on IT investments.
  • Eliminate hundreds of man-hours in post-purchase configuration, troubleshooting, and tuning.

We went from spending roughly $31,000 a year in support costs for two network security functionalities to $4,000 a year for five functionalities that are proving to work better. For an organization with a tight IT budget, I don't know how it gets better than that.
