As well as an ethernet switch, router and network firewall, FireBricks have much more to offer: Double (or more) your connection speed using DSL bonding, connect securely to offsite machines with an easily-configured VPN, or set up multiple independent "demilitarized zones" (DMZs).

Flexability: A range of models and options allow you to chose the right product for your network, and even allow the standard feature-set to be expanded quickly with on-line upgrades should you have an unexpected requirement. Even so, you do not have to worry about per-user licenses or paying for software upgrades.
