Since you are probably working for a partner I would recommend using the NGFW sizing tool to find the right appliance for your usecase: https://ngfwpe.cisco.com/dashboard
As always with sizing it is very hard to recommend any specific model, without knowing the exact requirements, features that will be used and partly the traffic patterns the box will need to handle. Before commiting to a model you might want to reach out to your local SE for them to validate the design with you, nothing is more frustrating than buying/selling a costly network security appliance just to find out that the sizing did not fit the requirements.
Hope that helps

Hi @mateens
There are a lot of factors to consider, the more features you enable, the less performance you get.
What bandwidth do you have?
Best to check the datasheet, they have the projected performance depending on what features you have enabled.

You also need to consider Internet bandwidth / Uplink ports
FP 2K good to go for your requirement(make sure you read the datasheet)
