How on earth can you make recommendations without knowing more about the
network you are working on? We have no idea of the quantitly of users, the
traffic patterns, whether the company is hosting its own DMZ, how fast their

I go on?
Sounds like you just read the DCN book and are spouting textbook
generalities.
