What hardware do I need to create a Site-to-Site VPN?

The company I work for is scattered across the country. They currently have 2 offices and are setting up a third. I would like to create a seamless network between them. I've been researching Site-to-Site VPN solutions but I'm not sure what kind of hardware (routers) I will need to get the job done.

What's a good Site-to-Site (tunnel) solution?

The possibilites almost seem endless for this. Linksys, Netgear, Sonicwall, Juniper, Cisco makes hardware to do this what it is going to come down to is how much do you have to spend and what do you already know. What I have used in the pas as a free solution (granted I had hardware just laying around to build the servers) was OpenVPN.

However, personally I prefer Cisco and Sonicwall, though, as said above, there are endless possibilites

I don't really have a budget here. But, the company is cheap so less is more. I need to connect 3 offices and allow for a few external vpn connections now and then (5 or less at any given time).

How many internal users at each of these 3 sites?

>> Great piece of hardware and easy to configure through the ASDM (Web GUI) if you don't want to use the CLI. They also make 50 and Unlimited-user Bundles should the sites grow.

Sorry I meant to say you can just purchase a License upgrade (to 50 or Unlimited) should any of the sites outgrow the 10-user
