Martin, Your choices are many but not complicated. By now you're getting all sorts of responses, I am only going to offer you this advice because I know I can help. The first thing is you want two systems at each point of entry, depending on the size of your serverpark you'll need to discover the correct number of access points, I can pin point this quickly for you "no-charge". The systems are better when the hardware appliances are from different manufactures, needless to say. The second thing to consider is service agreements and the evaluation of managed services vs. your time and effort, cost, etc... I have a tool to determine this specifically but you can assume what works for you, it just important to remember that you need to work "within" your capabilities or you'll be outsourcing "a lot" and that can get costly/time consuming. Lastly, as an "authorized" agent/reseller of ISS, Check Point, Cisco, SonicWall, various software applications, and much more... I can give you specifics few can, while offering the most competitive pricing. Oh, and in every case... you get direct interface with the manufacturer "support" team at pre and post sales. We are the VAR businesses prefer to interface with, I hope we can assist you too. Most of what we offer is absolutely FREE to you.

I\'m about to buy a firewall, and I wonder if you people could give me some advices that could help me decide which one that fits me best. See, I\'m quite new with this. So, this firewall should protect a quite big serverpark. It has to deal with a lot of information. It might be necessary to use two devices. If it is, the information will be divided upon these two with a load balancer. No special needs for VPN. I\'ve been thinking about using Watchguard Firewall 2500 or 4500. I know that 4500 handles VPN though. Is this a good choice? Is there sites on the net where products are compared and where you could see the good and the bad of each one? Thanks / Martin Andersson
