VPN pricing

[Edgar Faulkner]

At the risk of committing ad hoc advertising in the news group I'll throw in
with one more suggestion, which I am affiliated with (forgive the bias
here), and that is Pivio from Crossport Systems. The appliance itself is a
firewall with vpn hosting capability, as well as a number of other services,
and is offered at $399 MSRP. The price includes one year of managed
services, renewal for $149 annually. VPN has proven IPSEC 3DES
interoperability with Checkpoint, Cisco, and Freeswan, and is very simple to
configure and manage. Using Pivio I am able to work from home about 50% of
the time, which is a very enticing situation for a network manager; remote
management, baby! 

One of the company execs shares the analogy of "Why settle for just a
deadbolt on the front door, when you can have a full security system
guarding the house?" Again, forgive my bias, but, in my opinion, Pivio has
proven itself to be better than anything else that I've seen so far in its
class. Check it out for yourself and I think you'll like what you'll see.

I actually met with the President of the company and one of their regional
sales people at a VPN conference last year.  They make a very compelling
case, and it looks like they have some very slick, easy to implement, VPN
service offerings.

It's a very interesting model for deploying a low cost, high speed VPN
service.  We didn't look any further because at the time they only offered
site-to-site VPN's.  I believe they may have a remote access capability now.

FWIW,

Dave

Instant, Low-Cost VPN's.  Maintenance is $99/month per site.

I'm not affiliated in anyway.  I read about them in Computerworld (Nov 27,
2000).
