Which model ASA for branch office?

david

Anyone have guidelines for right sizing an ASA for a branch office?  I'm planning to use an ASA for a new branch office with approximatey 200 users.  The ASA will only be used for Internet access (Comcast ~50mbps Internet circuit), a few site-to-site VPN tunnels and a group of Remote Access VPN users (50 concurrent users max).  Given the EOL of the 5500 series and the impressive specs of the new 5500X line, it would seem that a 5512X could easily handle such an environment, but how does one go about semi accurately sizing such an office? 

Thanks!

Dave,

Sounds like you have already sized up what you would need. A 5512X or a 5515X would probably suit your needs quite nicely.

Good guide that gives a quick overview of the models in that range

Btw if it wasnt for your expectation to up 50 SSL clients a 5505 would properly be more the adaquate for your scope, that is if you are working with a small budget, else I would agree with Turnera that 5512X would properly keep you going for awhule.
