These are the ones who have been skeptical
of anything coming out of Redmond with ???Security??? in its
title??”for good reason in many cases. So, from its release,
ISA faced a seemingly insurmountable uphill battle for
acceptance, which makes its success even more impressive.
I have had the luxury of working closely with several of the
best technologies Microsoft has produced: Active Directory,
SharePoint, Exchange, and SQL Server. It therefore takes a
powerful product for me to be impressed, and ISA Server
2006, and its closely related predecessor, ISA Server 2004,
really has done that. ISA functionality is broad, with VPN,
reverse-proxy, firewall, content-caching, and protocolfiltering
capabilities. Marketing slogans are one thing, but
this product really does live up to its billing. I have
deployed, administered, and tested ISA Server at organizations
of many sizes and functions, from city governments
to banks to law firms to technology firms, and have had
great success with the product. The breadth and depth of
functionality that ISA provides makes my job designing
security for these types of environments that much easier.
