Hi,

usually the box sizing depend on the :

Internet Throughput ,
# of users to connect to the box , and number of users who will use the VPN services throw our box.
installation location ( Internet , DC , need 1 G interface , or 10 G interface ),

also you need to know from the customer , which services he is looking to use , Threat Prevention ( IPS,AV,DLP ) or URL or Both , since you need to give him a license for these items during proposing the solution ,

also you need to know if the box he need 1 box or 2 box in HA design , since the license will be different ,

and the number of years of the support ( 1 or 3 ) year ?

++++++++

in your case PA-200 will be good for 150 user , but it will give you only 25 VPN User,

but still you need to answer the other question to be able to quote him.

hope this answer help you

PA 500 will do the work ,

since you will get 100 SSL VPN users (SSL VPN+GlobalProtect Users),

for the license you will need to know if the customer need 1 box or 2 box ?

SSL VPN is free of charge from PAN

to connect PAN box to another branches , it is doable ,

since they have the flexibility to connect to any other FW technology .

Thank's for your response,

the client want to set the firewall on ha , so we need 2 firewalls

i need to know , how it works for globalprotect

when we set the client ssl , do we must have a globalprotect license ??

Ramy_AlDamati_Redington — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 09:52:38 GMT

it is free of charge by default , and enabled on the box by default

hi,

let me just give you some more details about GP license ,

if the customer need basic VPN , he will took it free,

if the customer looking to make the VPN/GP to connect to multiple Gateway , and Check for the client HIP Matches , so he need to have license for : GlobalProtect portal license , & license for GlobalProtect Gateway as well , ( 2 License ).

hope this clear

BR,
