      Just got approval to put in a SG-2440 in one of our small branch offices vs the juniper that was there..

      Stoked!  Its a foot in the door… I could see them going in all our small branches, and then moving into larger locations and DCs ;)

          posting this from behind our first sg-2440.. Setup was a breeze!! Plug it in, hit the wizard and up and running..  It will be in perm home in a NY office couple weeks from now.

          And just got the good word that going to order at least 2 more for other small branch offices.  This is only for local internet connection at these sites.  This is just internal employee traffic to the internet, no customers..  But maybe that will come ;)  Hoping so!!  The revolution has started.. hehehe

          Ordered yesterday showed up this morning..

                  I used Bing to try and find something but was surprised actually at the lack of quality images in the field.  :(

                  Anyways  Congrats Johnpoz!

                  Doc??  ;D

                        Always wondered where the term "Koozie" came from.

                        Sorry to derail the thread. It's not even Oktober.

                              Is there such a thing as derail in a general topic thread? ;)  Was just in such a good mood that finally getting a chance to bring pfsense into my work place had to share with someone..

                              To keep with the theme here is a good cheers picture ;)

                                So just got asked for recommendation for new router/firewall for use in a small customer.. I threw out pfsense of course.. Maybe go with the 4860 HA bundle in 2 locations.. Got my fingers crossed..  The one I got to deploy is one of our locations small office for their internet connection without any sort of sla on it.. 2 More locations to follow in that line.

                                But this would be a customer we support, etc.  Be a big step up - and even before the other 2 offices come online with the little sg-2440's

                                They prob go with the cisco isr 4431, or something in that line.. but here's hoping.
