LARTC - Apr 2004 - Supported Hardware Solution Recommendations Please

Hello All,

We are moving all our servers to a colo facility and need a solution for 
firewall / QoS that can handle multiple subnets of IPs routed to it. We 
expect to ramp up to a high volume of traffic as we migrate our users to 
Citrix. Unfortunately, the higher-ups are not willing to go with an 
''unsupported'' product even though I can demonstrate failover,
etc. So, I
figure there may be some companies offering a linux-based solution with 
support. Hardware based is preferable... Basically, they want something 
that if it fails, they can call up somebody on the phone and get it 
figured out. We need redundancy of the products as well. I''m thinking a
firewall / bridge config using spanning tree for failover.

Any suggestions (simply URLs to sites even) are greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
-Ron
