We took our CEO, who is not a technologist, through the new setup wizard with no problem. It was the perfect test case.
Our lineage is in e-mail and security installations for big organizations. We also have the RG100 that supports up to 1,500 users, but the sweet spot for that appliance is 100-300 users.
We want to stand up for our jobs. 114 stand to lose their jobs.
These boxes have been ripe to run managed services for many years. And we want to see more partners do that.
Our entry-level box starts at about $10,000, so smaller resellers who prefer not to make that investment can resell the services being provided by another MSP of ours.
I don't see this as an upset. I bet everyone else in this gymnasium does, but I don't. History doesn't mean anything. It all comes down to who works harder during the year and who comes ready.
