We have about 1000 students and a 100 Mb/s internet connection. We're using a Sonicwall NSA4500. We've had it in production for almost three years (upgrade from a Cisco PIX 515) and have no complaints. It's been rock solid.

Are there any small schools using SonicWall (NSA 220, NSA250 or NSA 2600 models) or PaloAlto (PA-200, PA-500, PA-2020 or PA-2050) ? We currently have *20 MB* pipe (we **are** small) but expect 1 GB within <2 years as Google Fiber is installed across Austin. We have 2 discrete networks and want an appliance that works across both with unique filter sets. I am most concerned with malware filtering ability, throughput and a good admin interface. Currently on older Cymphonix (pre-Untangle), which required an appliance for each network and had a clunky UI and filtering did not catch ransomware. Any suggestions or opinions? Thanks in advance for your help! *-Julie Newton *Director of Information Technology ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AUSTIN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 100 E. 27th Street, Austin, Texas 78705 *austinseminary.edu <http://austinseminary.edu>*
