Subject: [TriLUG] [off topic] firewall, VPN, UTM,and web filtering
suggestions

We are looking to replace our opensource firewall/VPN and web filtering
boxes with something more commercially supported (I have changed roles
in my company and my boss wants me hands off and the rest of our IT
department can not support our existing infrastructure)  I currently
have a few RFPs out for replacing my gear, however neither has come back
with a turnkey solution as of yet.
a few questions
1.  Can i get some recommendations of companies that do this kind of
work, on a large scale?  We have a fairly extensive network
infrastructure so we need a company that is used to complex design.
2.  The two companies that have gotten back to me, are suggesting Cisco
and Sonicwall.  I have no experience with Sonicwall, and my experience
with Cisco was during the PIX/CatOS days, so I am a little out of the
loop, we are an HP ProCurve shop.  Pros, Cons of either 3.  Any
suggestions for web filtering?  We currently are using squid for
blocking our users from inappropriate and social networking sites.

Regards,
Chris
