currently we have a ASA which connects to a single swicth 2960, the 2960 swicth connects to two routers(HSRP) the switch has vlan 10 with /29 address and points towards HSRP address of the routers.

compony has realise that its a single point of failure both the FW and swicth now they have asked for the new proposal.

can someone help?

If you want to remove the single point of failures then you need a second switch and a second ASA:

1. The ASA
   Has to be the same model as the one you are running at the moment. If you only have an ASA version up to 8.2, the new device needs the same licenses as the old one. If you have 8.3+, then you only need a license that supports Failover, which is the SecurityPlus if you are running a 5505, 5510 or 5512-X.
2. The Switch
   The easies to manage would be a stack of two switches. But if you only have an older 2960, then it's not supported. So just add a second switch of your choice and you are good to go.
