elmtree is recognised as one of the top Watchguard partners in the country (#). 

We specialise in the full range of WatchGuard threat management and content security appliances. As well as the standard configurations, we cover HA clusters, SSL Gateways, Token based authentication, AD integration to the desktop, load balancing web front ends and VPNs using Centralized Management plus lots more. We can even remotely manage OR host your firebox based network. 

Here is some information on the latest Firebox UTM series: 

The XTM 2 and XTM 5 Series represent the latest additions to the entirely new XTM family of appliances—we now have appliances sized to meet the needs of small business (up to 50 users) right up to large enterprises of 10,000 or more (XTM 1050), all of which have been released in the past six months.  These products hit the market right at a time when ISP infrastructure upgrades allow for significant increases in network performance for small to mid-size companies – and the XTM 2 and 5 have been designed to allow WatchGuard customers to take full advantage even when a strong security profile is deployed.  XTM 5 Series throughput with AV and IPS enabled far outpaces the competition in every price category, and 2 Series performance enables small business and remote sites to max out their pipe!  Just check out the numbers below:
