IAG runs ISA?

  • Artigo

What is not obvious is the fact that the IAG appliance has the full edition of 2006 ISA standard edition running on it.  I figured that I should do this as a follow up to my ISA vs IAG post - as I failed to mention it there.  So why should I even buy ISA 2006 instead of IAG you might ask?

  • If you want any of the enhanced features for the enterprise version of ISA (NLB, Web farm publishing, shared configuration between multiple machines, etc)
  • As far as what I'm told, the cost for IAG is more than for a copy of ISA standard edition.
  • If you want to put the software on your own hardware instead of an appliance.  IAG only can be purchased as an appliance currently.

I hope this helps.  If there are other reasons, please feel free to comment.
