Branch office down if UTM down?

JamesGolden
Can someone please verify for me what I'm reading? As far as I can tell, regardless of what mode the RED devices are in, if the central office UTM is offline for any reason, the branch offices will have no Internet (assuming of course that the RED is the gateway device for the branch office). 
Is this correct?

    An SG 105 with 3-yr Network Protection is cheaper than a RED 50.  If you need a RED tunnel, that also can be done with this setup.  In addition, the hardware warranty doesn't expire after a year like the RED 50.

    Cheers - Bob

    Yes, that's true for the hardware Bob, but they'll have to add-on the network protection to get the RED/VPN capability, and if they want web filtering, they'll have to purchase a license for the main office and a license for the branch office.
