My company is getting ready to move to a new office where they will
have a dedicated T1 for internet access. The company has 20 employess
at the moment and might grow larger with in the next 2 years. They
will need the ability to have a site-to-site and mobile VPN access. My
question is in regards to the router and firewall hardware. Should we
have a all in one appliance to serve as the Router/Firewall/VPN or
should we have them seperated. For example, a router to handle the T1
connection and a Firewall/VPN appliance. What would be best for
performance and security.

Any suggestions, pros & cons, and specific brands/models would be
appriciated.

Thanks in advance,

Elguapaul

Doesn't matter. Just buy whatever offers the features you require. There is
no inherent better or worse for modular verses combined devices. Just
depends on the feature set.
