Sized, configured and managed as one service — not boxes you wire together yourself.

Guard Depot rents two kinds of WatchGuard Firebox: a Tabletop model and a Rack Mount model. Both come configured for your site, include the WatchGuard Basic Security Suite, and are managed by eMazzanti for the full term. The only question is which shape fits your office.

Tabletop Firebox

A compact firewall that sits on a desk or shelf. It fits offices, retail stores and front desks — anywhere without a server rack. A one-time rental of $1,000 for the 3-year term, and the right choice for most small and mid-size locations.

Rack Mount Firebox

A firewall built to mount in a standard server rack, for server rooms and larger sites with more traffic and more devices. A one-time rental of $1,400 for the term.

How to choose

Pick Tabletop for an office, store or front desk; pick Rack Mount if you have a server rack or a larger site. You need one Firebox per location — if you have several offices, each gets its own and we manage them together. Not sure which fits? Add one in the shop, or book a call and our engineers will size it with you.
