I am looking for a hardware based firewall for my companies co-location. We have around 10 servers all running websites, databases, or email. We need a firewall that will allow us to vpn from the office and edit the servers as if they were part of our local network. Also, we would like to have all the servers on internal IPs and have the firewall route certain WAN IPs to the correct local machine. I have been looking at the Watchguard PRO and SOHO, the SonicWall SOHO2/50user and XPRS2, and the NOKIA IP110 and IP330. All seem to do the trick, the main requirements are the one VPN connection and the ability to route or NAT serveral IPs to certain local boxes. The firewall can not cost more than 5g but lower cost will make the sale much easier. I am worried that the SOHO appliances will not be able to handle the bandwidth, number of users, or not be configurable enough to allow for these routes. any help you could give would be great thanks dan

Dan, You should take netscreen into consideration (www.netscreen.com). A cheap hardware based firewall that does VPN and NAT and some other interesting stuff. They come out pretty good in recent tests, specially what speed is concerned...

Sounds like the SonicWall Pro with VPN should do what you're asking. Inexpensive (relatively) and easily configured remotely. Jeff

In our colo room we use the Nokia IP330 appliance with CheckPoint Firewall 1. Not a cheap machine but it does all what you asking for. Don't go for the Watchguard (soho), it can't handle the traffic. Pay attention that VPN in front of your servers will bring down the throughput. If you have an issue with throughput, then you can consider a SUN Netra with Checkpoint on top of it, its even more performant then the Nokia and even cheaper!!!

I wouldn't settle for Sonic Walls performance or pay too much for Checkpoint/Nokia... Check out NetScreen. www.netscreen.com THey have a product that is more than 100Mbps and does full stateful firewall at only like 9k. The NetScreen 100 It is true hardware, not a PC architecture like Watchguard or Sonicwall. I love it!!
