Disagree. Our ServerIrons hum, and hum, and keep on humming. I've just
found what looks like a bug in them the past week - first problem we've
had with them in a year or more. The failover works, the load balancing
works, there's odd little behaviours where sometimes they miss rewriting
return packets, but on the whole, I love 'em.

Arrowpoints, by contrast, almightily suck. They aren't even up to
Cisco's normal reliability standards, let alone anything that actually
lets you sleep soundly at night.
