Hello,
I manage a psychological clinic, and we have two locations. I need to upgrade my firewalls in both locations. Our main location has 20 offices, and the satellite location has 6. We have VoIP phones, and use a shared network drive. I'm not incredibly knowledgeable in the whole networking department, so here are my main questions.
- What hardware should I be thinking about. I know that I need VPN, VoIP and it needs to be PCI compliant.
- Will I need more than just a firewall (e.g. switch/router) for each location (the main location has a wifi router and a switch in addition to our old firewall).
- Does it make sense to buy the same firewall for both locations (we do plan to expand our second location in the next 2-3 years).
- I see that many of the options recommend/require a yearly license. Do I need this or can I have adequate protection with hardware only?
Thank you for taking the time to help this. I have been reading other threads that are along these lines, but most of the conversations are over my head. I am currently trying to learn all I can, while still actually doing my job of managing the clinic.
