Upgrading to SonicWall NSA from TZ series
We are looking to upgrade our TZ200 to the NSA 250M series. However, I am not qualified to do this by myself. Where can I find a vendor who could facilitate this purchase and implementation in the SF Bay Area? Looking on Google only gets me to Dell and they don't do what I want in terms of hands on assistance.
How can I help you?

Diverseit,
Thank you for your response. I have been trying to determine if we actually do need the NSA equipment or if the TZ 215 would work for our purposes. Dell Tech Support was particularly unhelpful when I posed this question: how can I tell if we need more throughput than what is being provided by our current equipment? We get our internet access from Comcast with a promised 50mgs down and 10 up. I do know that the throughput on the TZ 200 is 35Mbps and the TZ 215 is 60Mbps. Yet, Dell is insisting we need the more expensive NSA series.
We are a small business and want to provide excellent customer service while maintaining our costs. We have one website hosted, and we use web services to provide rating and contract printing to our customers. I am not yet seeing any issues with traffic jams, but I want to be pro-active and was hoping there was a key to looking at our current logs to determine if we are even close to needing a faster device.
Is this something you could help us with?

Well, now this is strange! I thought I posted a long response with screen shots for your review! And, I now see it is no where to be found. UGH.
I confirmed our Comcast is 50/10. I will be calling to see if there is a better rate for a higher throughput as they are advertising rates that are less the one we are paying for more speed. But that is a different conversation!
At any rate, I have uploaded two screen shots from our current SonicWall configuration per your request. I know there were other things I said in the missing response, but for the life of me cannot remember what they were!
Hoping this one gets saved properly!!

Thank you so much for your input and direction. I will discuss all this with my partner and get back to you early next week. We are trying to be pro-active but reasonable in our purchases.
If you can give me some references for installs, I would appreciate it. My partner is a stickler for this stuff even though you have been helping us make informed decisions, he has his requirements!
Also, is your website diverseit.com? When ever I try to navigate to that site, my browser times out.
Thanks,
