Have a look at Tippingpoint http://www.tippingpoint.com/products_ips.html

you can use the units as standalone IPS devices or together with the SMS as centrally managed environment with extended log capability. The devices are based on a special ASIC (at least the bigger ones) architecture (not intel plattform) and have for that reason very good performance.

Hi there,

I'd like to ask you guys what kind of IPS you are running. Currently we have a McAfee Intrushield I3000 which does his job rather well, but its maintenance cost is rather high. So we're slowly looking for a replacement.

I've been looking at the new Cisco ASA serie, but their IPS have a rather low throughput (450mps for the 5530/5540 module). We currently handle a throughput of 300mps and it's still growing.

So what kind of IPS are you using, what's your opinion about it ?
