Help about a Hardware VPN Solution

[marlon_fraile]

Hi,

I need to deploy a Hardware VPN Solution for 700-900 users (concurrent connections, 15 minutes, 3 times by day). I was reviewing a Cisco VPN Concentrator 3030 but it only works with 500 users with an internal authentication component. I prefer to use the internal component because the users are clients and not internal users (company's users). Also, I don't know if I have to pay a lot of money in a external authentication server like RADIUS and if I can configure it with external user accounts.

Any advice on make and model and even approximate cost would be greatly

appreciated.

Regards and thanks

Marlon

VPN 3000 concentrator support NT domain authentication. If you are using NT network or Windows 2000 active directory, you do not need add any extra costs.

Another thing is Windows 2000 server or advanced server with Radius server build in feature which is "internet authentication service". That is another choice for you as well.
