The small business market is huge and hyped right now. We'll see lots of
really dumb ideas for small business be pushed to market this year.

Talks about companies that have more dollars than sense. Over 15 grand
for a whole 50 users. Why, they're giving these things away!
Today's focus: Whale slims down for SMBs
By Tim Greene
Whale Communications is announcing a new model of its
Intelligent Application Gateway designed for small businesses or
small sites in larger business networks.
The Express Edition SSL VPN and application-security device
offer a slimmed-down version of the features that come with
Whale's Enterprise Edition, but with the intent of meeting most
needs of small and midsize businesses at a lower price.
The Express, for example, cannot create policies for custom
applications. A toolkit for doing so can be purchased with the
Enterprise edition.
Also, Express clears out standard caches when an SSL VPN session
ends in order to wipe traces of the session from the remote
computer. Express can be customized to look for non-standard
caches that custom applications might set up.
There's a long list of other differences, but the bottom line is
that the Express is designed to be easier to set up, do a solid
job and cost less than the more sophisticated Enterprise
Edition. The cost of an Express Edition for 250 concurrent users
is $34,000, while an Enterprise Edition for the same number of
users costs $43,000.
REALITY CHEQUE==>>That's a significant savings, but it also allows small
businesses to buy into the technology at a price they might be
able to afford. The Express Edition for 50 concurrent users
costs $15,200. <<==REALITY CHEQUE
