Why are you deploying SonicWalls? what feature does it have that ER's don't that you need?
- Grant money paid for it
- must have content filtering
Why does the content filtering have to happen at the gateway? DNS filtering is even easier, imo.
I was wondering what grant money had to do with it - unless the grant specifically said it had to be SonicWall? or no other filtering solution was less?

Yeah it seems weird to need it on the firewall itself

Yes, the grant specifically specified a SonicWall. I can't use the money and put in an Edge Router with OpenDNS. They actually have auditors come out and see that the equipment is installed. It's so frustrating on so many levels as a tax payer...

So who submitted (based on what recommendation) for a sonicwall when the grant was requested?

That is gross. What do they have a state contract with Dell?

Didn't know that. Haven't used a Sonicwall in years. Who did they sell to?
Ah, independent.

Still Dell Contacts you for selling you the Sonicwall

The grantor came up with that. The agency only filled out a form that said how many full and part time people they had doing certain functions and the grant had a formula that said how many of each model number of different pieces of equipment you got. They even speced a printer that isn't available through normal channels. (discontinued) The printer was probably the dumbest thing because they already had a large multifunction copier on each floor. No need for the printer at all, but it didn't matter. Then they send auditors to visit the site and make sure it's plugged in.
These things baffle me, but at the end of the day you take them because if you accept the SonicWall you get all the other gear on the grant. It's frustrating to say the least because I can't standardize the agency because different grants specify different gear.
Like I said it's real frustrating watching money get wasted like that. Government agencies have no incentive to do things to save money. Politicians only pat themselves on the back for money that gets thrown at one group or another.
