Setup Cisco ESA C170 / IronPort
Greetings experts,
Just wanted to check to see if anyone had an idea of how long it would be to setup a new Cisco ESA C170 / IronPort device to work with my existing Exchange 2013 environment for e-mail encryption. This is to transfer health records and such, so it must be encrypted. We use a hosted solution now, but it is many thousands of dollars a year to cover our entire organization.
Assume you would setup 10 accounts, outlook plug ins, a few policy rules and show me how to setup the rest of the accounts. I would also assume a small 3 or 4 hour tutorial. I am firewall technical, so I will be able to catch on quickly.
I have never setup an e-mail encryption device, and not sure what is involved. I will be outsourcing it, but was looking for an idea on what I'm getting into. Cisco guys are $200+ an hour in the city, so just want gather any info I can.
Thanks for your help,
Kacey

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
That's your best bet. note that the official training course for the device, which makes you a cisco certified expert on it (ok, you have to pass the exam afterwards as well :), runs for two days of 8 hours apiece...
It really isn't that hard, and most stuff can be done via the gui. if you want to do the python scripting, then that gets harder, but only a handful of my customers have ever needed that.

Pity I don't live closer, I could beat that quote by a fair margin :P

I might give it a try.. do you have a blog or anything that I can check in with you? I own an IT company in Manhatan, so I work with people remotely all the time.
Thanks again,

I figured it would take less than a day to set this up. My consultant quoted out 20 hours plus 4 hours for training at $230 an hr.
Maybe I'll buy the device and see where I get, if I can't figure it out, I can always have them come in.
