Hear you big time… luckily the CEO of my company likes overkill and backups like I do, and computers are his hobby.
I went from a pair of Sonicwall 4000 series routers to some really nice Fortigate models.
When I change over to VOIP, will most likely be using all Cisco or Juniper layer 3 switches and all vlans to combine 3 networks on one physical cable.
I’ve been happy with the sonicwall TZ series for our branches, but they only have from 20 to 60 people online at a time, plus maybe a 16 channel DVR streaming vga resolution video.
Not super high bandwidth, but works well. The Sonicwall stuff is very easy to set up, and are very efficient at site-to-site vpn, which is our mainstay to access our business application.
Anyway, I’m sure I’ve derailed the hell out of this thread…
Cold here in San Diego today, was about 73 degrees…
