Server versus the Cloud

What does AWS charge for hosting your UTM?

Rackspace uses Vyatta as their UTM. It starts at $160/mo.

is it me or does that price does seem very high.

It's actually a subscription based license running in an AWS instance. Last I checked, it was $.10 per hour plus instance charges, so you're be looking at around $75 per month for a Sophos UTM with 90% of features unlocked and ~35 per month for the VM to run it on (if you go with small). So for ~$110 per month, you could be the proud user of one of the best UTM products on the market.

It is, but it is a screaming fast enterprise router. Compare to buying one.

Ouch! For what it costs, the feature set isn't quite what I'd expect.

Vyatta is pretty impressive. It's more a router than a UTM, though.

how much bandwidth do you get with each of these servers/services?

For AWS, gigabit, though unless you have a larger instance size, you won't have the horsepower to make use of it. You pay for outgoing bandwidth; incoming is free.
-
Rackspace is a 100Mb/a interface unlimited incoming and $.12/GB outgoing.

All I know is the big V's cloud isn't as cheap, but it's considerably more advanced and robust than all the others. Plus our bandwidth is top notch. Rackspace uses cheaper bandwidth.
We spin you up right.
