Microsoft has something called an ISA Server…
What does ISA stand for? I’m pretty sure it’s Incredibly Shitty Appliance.
I know they think it’s something else:
ISA Server is the advanced stateful packet and application-layer inspection firewall, virtual private network (VPN), and Web cache solution that enables enterprise customers to easily maximize existing information technology (IT) investments by improving network security and performance.
But I’m pretty sure it’s an Incredibly Shitty Appliance. I assume by “improving performance” they mean “breaking the web” or something similar. You know you’re in trouble when even the IT guys think it is the suxors…
(Squid Web Proxy Cache anyone?)
