Keep what you have. Don't pay annual support for "less mission critical" remote offices? Keep a spare on-hand.

I currently use Fortinet firewalls at my HQ and VPN sites. I like that they have a variety of features in one box (virus scanning, general firewall, content filtering, etc) in a single device, and that's good for we non-profits. They work well, but renewals are due soon, the devices are old and due for replacement. Before I just buy the next model, anyone have any recommendations for all-in-one firewalls? I think the Fortinet SOHOs I purchase are about $700 per unit and maybe $275 for annual support/updates/subscriptions. These units support sites that have 2-7 full time staff. Not much going on there. So no heavy requirements in terms of bandwidth control. Most staff are just using our XenApp systems to access our clinical apps here at HQ. Suggestions/comments/recommendations appreciated. Thanks and best wishes for 2012.
