My question is that I am about to purchase a Cisco 5525X firewall. I have to implement an IDS/IPS solution as well? Does the 5525X firewall have the option to configure IDS/IPS in its IOS? Do i have to buy a different device in order for me to implement my IDS/IPS solution? I am looking for an upscale technology solution for this implementation. What is the best Firewall/IDS/IPS solution for a network?

5525-X do support FirePower Service Module.
but my suggestion, soon or later 55XX-X going to be end of Life
Look for FTD 10XX Model for Longer to protect Return of investment.

Thanks for your answer.
do i have a followup question: Is the Firepower a replacement for the 5525x that can also perform IDS/IPS? meaning do i have to get both the 5525x and the firepower to implement a firewall and IDS/IPS functions? dos the Firepower do both the firewall and the IDS/IPS functions?
Thanks

By Default 5525X not come with IDS/IPS - you need to have FP module achieve the solution.
New Firepower model i have suggested was replacement of ASA with FTD, which has Firewall +IDS +IPS (depends on License you purchase).
