I really liked that phrase “Fortune 5 Million businesses” – what a good idea. This is from Enflux Technologies a VAR in Illinois who is deploying solutions using edgeBOX by Critical Links.
I contacted Mike Hanson from Enflux just to share his video presentation and experience with my readers, about the edgeBOX; It’s about 5 minutes and just talking, but it shows clearly the advantages of this integrated solution, going from the common scenario of multiple devices to an all inclusive server / network appliance. Enjoy the presentation.
I think this theme is comparable to the “what was first, the egg or the chicken?” that was finally resolved just few days ago, according to what I heard on the radio. For any IT guy (IT girls are included too, of course) that has been dealing with a server room full of separate one on one functional servers; with a rack full of cables running from the routers, to the patch panels, to the servers; trying to solve (for yesterday) a sudden disconnection of part of the network; a peripheral missed in the lan; a broken Catx cable… the “office in a box” solution has been a dream for so long. The efforts to fulfill this solution are countless during the last 25 years in information technology. Any milestone achieved in technology was getting us close. Since few years ago, some companies has been offering their solutions.
I would like to mention the main functions of the most complete solution I had found, in the market. We have been using one of them in our office, for some month now, with very satisfactory results. It is named “edgeBOX”.
- This is a box that fits your needs according to the size of you company. We got
the entry level unit as our company has less than 10 people
- provides All the Phone and Internet Communication and Data Services
- web/email/file/access/security servers in one single box at our premise
- Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, email/file scan on the Server side included
- Share and Unified Data-Fax-Mail-Voice
- Local wired/wireless and Remote As Local user access
- Automatic Backup to local, network or remote drive and a proven Recovery Plan
besides:
- All-In-OneBox network solution remotely managed; so the ICT guy comes with the Box
and even better:
- Monthly affordable leasing payment, deductible expenses instead of investment
Please, if you have time send your comments.
And by the way, the chicken was first.
When I arrived at Pyman this morning just a look at their entrance gave me an idea: Oh these guys have to be good on what they do to have such a welcomed environment (see this picture). I have met Dawn a week ago in a MBOT networking meeting and arranged this visit to have a better understanding on what they can do for SOHO and SMB in terms of video presentations.
They are way over my head in what they can do for the big guys, but still seems to be approachable and on a budget for the SMB.
That entrance view and one of their products – the vdoLIFE – are the reasons I am writing this post as a referral to my clients and web site visitors. The vdoLIFE is a Flash add-on to any web site showing “a person” speaking in your own page; it looks professional, not invasive and even attractive as far as I can say. they also provide with tracking tools to measure the effect of this marketing effort, if that is the case.
