I know you said hardware - but have you looked at 3rd party hosting. We went through a similar eval, and decided to outsource. mxInspect has been great for us; they screen AV and spam, keep stats, and provide a failover. Have your box only talk to their IP and you're pretty tight. TCO is ~$2/u/yr. Worth a glance. They have web-traffic filtering as well (though you didn't mention it, I think the C100 offers it).

I know this has been covered several ways over the years, but searching my archives isn't bringing up what I need. Maybe some of you can help. I want to purchase a hardware appliance to take the "Edge Transport" role for my soon-to-be-installed E2K7 server. I want to know all the options and narrow it down to three or four. So please share opinions and experince on devices that meet the following requirements: - Hardware only. I don't care if I have to install management software, just don't want it on the server. I'm a big fan of decomposed architecture. - Anti-Spam AND Anti-Virus solution (excludes companies like Barracuda). - Less than $5k for 3 years TCO. I don't care if the box is $3k or $5k as long as maintenance and subscriptions keep the total under $5k. - Anywhere from 25 to 100 user device is fine. Possibilities so far (feel free to comment): IronPort C100 Sophos ES1000 Fortinet Fortimail Thanks in advance. -J
