Imagine how nice your office Internet connection would be if you could provide a single source machine, or appliance, that would clean SPAM from your employees e-mails, detect and eliminate viruses, prevent phishing or personal information attacks, allow employees to be monitored for their Internet activities eliminating shopping on company time, allow remote secure access and much more.

Imagine how much money your company would save if your employees didn’t waste your time and money shopping? Or even worse downloading pirated movies and music mp3 files. The RIAA has apparently sued over 30,000 people for doing this. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/07/has-the-riaa-sued-18000-people-or-35000.ars. They have won up to $2,000,000 per infraction. Businesses that don’t stop employees from doing this may be their next target.

We use it in our office and love it. It needs little or no maintenance and provides all types of services... all in one box. Ten to thirty-five users ranges between $15 to $60 a month depending on installed features, and up to fifty users, from $45 to $170, both with virtualized services.
