Hi,
I have been doing alot of research for an upcoming project. We will have 6 sites connected together via some sort of VPN, the VPN will handle:
AD authentication
RDP to a terminal server (Primary client use)
Management (Symantec Endpoint Protection reporting, etc.)
We are also looking at site to stie sip trunking either within the VPN or outside of it.
We are currently using Untangle in a setup like this and it works OK (I have been having issues controling the VPN QoS).
We will be adding a DSL circuit to our T1 at the main office to split off main office staff internet needs and leave the T1 for voice and VPN traffic.
I have looked at Astaro (I really like the upcoming authenticated wireless lan option) and as stated before we are currently using Untangle.
Some of the things that I am struggeling with are:
Do we need to go to a UTM? We have client AV on the workstations, our email filtering/archiving/failover is provided by a 3rd party, and the higher ups have not been concerned about content filtering on the web traffic.
I would like VLAN capeability to split local guest traffic off of the main network (we have 3rd party people needing wireless internet access at most of the sites.)
I looked at the netgear UTM's but am nervous about the VPN performance based on the reviews here.
Site sizes are about:
HQ - 15 Users
BO's 2-8 Users
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
