Hi guys,

I´m from Brazil,I work for a company that have 5 Offices in diferent
cities.

First office 40 users.
Second Office 25 users.
Third Office 12 users.
Fourth Office 6 users.
Fifth Ofifice 2 users.

I would like to install a solution that have this features:
Firewall/IDS,Content Filtering(URL blocking),antivirus,Anti-Spam ,VPN
and better if it helps Voip in any way.

Up to know i Discovered two companies FORTINET and HOTBRICK they´re
probably a kind of
Linux distribution packed and simplified.

Another option would be to install a Suse LINUX machine nad use it as a
Gateway.

What would be easier to install and mantain, and of couse I would not
like to pay a fortune
every year for a firmware upgrade.

I would like to hear only about solutions that will work both with
Windows and Linux.

Best regards,
Marcello Dias

I wouldn't use the Suse Linux as a gateway. I'd prefer to go w/ a high end
type router. The fortinet thing looked pretty good at first glance. Here's
a user review. I always search google for 'user' reviews. A user can say
anything but a magazine can't.

Hi Donnie,

Thank you for our answer.

I´m trying to find more user opinions about Fortinet not ony technical
ones but
about price subscriptions too.

Regards,
Marcello
