So /g/ in the next few weeks I'm going to be setting up a network for a startup. They have a large budget with ongoing investment so it's looking to be a company with 6-8 offices in the next 2 years.
My question is what equipment, if any, should I be looking at for central and branch routing? All of the offices are going to have a server for providing NAS and other services so why not use those to run a virtual router and remove the requirement for a hardware router. The only requirements for the router is to do simple edge firewall filtering, network services(DHCP/DNS/etc) and stand up a VPN mesh so OSPF can auto configure the routing tables.
Pretty confident in using virtual routers at branch offices, but for the central office? What if the server is down? What if there is resource contention? Would a central hardware router be worth the investment for the piece of mind?

Here is the only question you need to ask yourself:
Are you willing to stake your job on a central site virtual router, just to save the company a few bux.
Do it right and buy the damn hardware brah.

Sounds like the way to go, these virtual routers are just so damn nice tho
What is a decent vendor and product line for something like this? I'm having to learn a lot at once for this setup so I'm not sure if something like a jewniper SRX would be adequate.
