Some background... we are closing one office and expanding another in Europe. The office closing housed a small server farm supporting about 80 users across these two locations plus another office in Europe not getting touched now. Our server guys are looking at options for replacing, not moving the hardware to that office that is expanding. We have very old perimeter equipment in that same office and looking at replacing it and doing some circuit upgrades.
My question to the forum, has anyone implemented a full, or almost full stack of NFV at a remote branch location? Any gotchas or regrets? We are looking at Cisco CSRs, Palo Alto VMs, maybe a virtual cisco WLAN controller. No business case for WAN Opto today. Switching will likely be 3850s with IP services. Our WAN is currently based on DIA and DMVPN phase 3. Circuits will be in the 50-100Mb range. Someday looking to replace the WAN with either Viptella or VeloCloud but thats maybe 12-24 months out. What do you guys think....
