This is Angelo Comazzetto. A Canadian, of Italian heritage, living in the U.S., working for a German company.When I met him last year, his business card said something like Evangelist. These days, he's the product manager for Astaro's line of low-cost Unified Threat Protection appliances. Dspite his title change, he's not lost his passionate, high-energy, rapid-fire delivery style ;-)
Some notes from our meeting:
- "600 new features" in the past year
- based on win/loss analysis and other customer requests
- no longer R&D-led roadmap!
- Versions 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 all "major" releases
- Now uses Commtouch for anti-spam, Astaro loves them
- Astaro has dropped Kaspersky: too expensive and inaccurate
- Moved to Postgres from MySQL
- Added full https content inspection
- Several options for deploying the proxy certificates to user PCs
- Network balancing across several connections
- Supports the proprietary Cisco IPsec client
- So can have people move from obsolete Cisco PIX and ASA to Astaro
- Supports iPhone VPN client (nice demo)
