Question : dual PIX 515e / Catalyst 3750 / Dell server - high availability

Hi everyone,
I need to setup a small network with high availability in mind.

We have following network equipment:
- two Cisco PIX 515e firewalls
- two Cisco Catalyst 3750 switches
- two Dell servers with two NICs each (Intel/Netgear but can work in a team using Intel ANS)

What is the best way to configure this network?

Is it possible to configure it so that system can still work if eg. following components fail: NIC1, switch1 and pix2?

Thanks

If you're using multiple vlans, then trunk your vlan across on both switches.  Make two connections between switches and aggregate them (Fast Etherchannel) for redundant load balancing connections.

VRRP or GLBP will provide firewall redundancy in case one fails.  GLBP is active/active.

Team the NICs on your Dells.  Then, connect one cable from each switch to the Dells.  Aggregate the two connections if you can on the switch side and if so, then use Switch Assisted Load Balancing (SLB) (naming changes).  If you can't aggregate the two connections (bond, or Etherchannel) then use Fault Tolerant Load Balancing (FTLB) on the Server Teaming end.
