[VoiceOps] Customer Premise Firewall/Router Recommendations

[Scott Berkman]

I've posted this before, but I'm a huge fan of Edgewater as well.  I've
actually worked with Kevin too and he's great.

That said, the Firewall features of the EM's aren't as strong as some of the
higher end options like the top of the line SonicWalls, ASA's etc.

If you have the means, I'd actually recommend segmented LANs (physical or
virtual) with your preferred breed of FW on the data side and an Edgewater
on the voice side.

We're 100% happy with recommending Sonicwall for the customers in that price
range.  In their VoIP settings, enable "Consisten NAT" and disable all else,
it will be reliable and stable.  The NSA240 for the customers wanting
high-end features, and the TZ210 for simple/cheap.

Right now we are looking at Edgewater routers that have some good
VoIP-specific features.  Haven't decided on them, but I think you should
take a look.  My rep is Kevin Asano, 408-351-7220,
kasano at edgewaternetworks.com.
