7 all posts by James GudeliUTM - not just for the enterpriseWith our new update to Kerio Control, I want to take a moment to discuss why businesses of all sizes should invest in Unified Threat Management to protect their networks instead of some low cost internet router with firewalling capabilities.Introducing Kerio Control 7.2: UTM + QoSWith the new release of Kerio Control, many people will talk about how our implementation of QoS is simple yet so powerful. Some may note that traffic shaping can be managed with the same elegant GUI that we have been fine-tuning for eight years. Some may wonder why other UTM's QoS controls are so complicated. Others may ask, why is QoS included in a UTM at all?A little revolution now and then is a good thing. Introducing Kerio Control 7.2 Beta 1Today marks the introduction of Kerio Control 7.2 in public beta, the latest evolution of Kerio’s unified threat management product line. This version comes with a new Bandwidth Management and Quality of Service option that upgrades the previous bandwidth limiter.Down-to-Earth Document CollaborationWith the recent Amazon EC2 disruption, this seems like a good time to remind all the Cloud skeptics and do-it-yourself IT types who aren't afraid of servers and storage that Kerio Workspace can be hosted on-premise, just like our messaging, telephony, and security products. Of course, all of our partners and existing customers already know that. After all, we have been selling and supporting downloadable software for the better part of 14 years. But Software-as-a-Service offerings seem to be the only products worth blogging about these days, so I figured I would throw a shout out to the IT peeps still kicking it old school and let them know that we've got them covered. Kerio Operator – Telephony the Kerio wayWith the launch of our new VoIP server software and appliance, we anticipate that some of our partners, customers, and competitors may be scratching their heads asking, “Why? Why enter an unfamiliar and increasingly competitive market at a time when IT spending growth is just recovering and still uncertain?” Kerio unveils new anti-virus partner, SophosTechnology partnerships are key to delivering high quality, competitive products and services, and this is especially true in the information security industry. Expertise in a given area is developed over years at great expense, and it often makes more sense to acquire proven technology rather than try to build it. Such is the case with anti-virus, a critical component of Unified Threat Management solutions. Dude, where's my bandwidth!?Much has changed since Kerio’s first soft router/firewall product was launched in 1997. The predominant small business Internet connection options at the time were dial-up and ISDN, the Web was still in version 1.0, Spam was a luncheon meat, and the Cloud consisted solely of water vapor. Through all of the advances and improvements in technology since then, many businesses still face the same problems. |
