From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:43 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Firewall for small biz I have a 17-user client (one SBS server, same one discussed with the PE840) with a 5+yr old SonicWALL SOHO firewall and I believe it's time to upgrade them to something more current. They used to VPN but have found SBS remote access much faster. What kinds of things should I look for in a new workgroup firewall? Budget is probably in the $500-$700 range. Anyone have some good links for me to read up on? Recommendations? I just watched a McAfee/Gartner on "Next Generation" firewalls (HERE<http://www.itbriefingcenter.com/programs/gartner_1135_mcafee_bd.html>), but some if it seems a bit complex to manage for a small shop. However I want to be aware of current thinking in SMB firewall/IPS devices.
