At the high-end SPARC/Solaris is still a good choice. Its performance is great, it's price/performance isn't. I still see a lot of Solaris running P-1 but not so much on the gateways anymore. Solaris' big hold on the Check Point's market early on was the fact Sun OEM'ed FW-1 as Solstice FireWall-1, then Sun had delusions of grandeur...
