Certes Networks Offers Low-Cost Encryption Starter Package
September 8, 2011
Certes Networks is looking to increase its momentum through a compelling offering. For $1,000, Certes is offering its Network Encryption Starter Kit, specifically designed for “tunnel-less multilayer encryption” without a hefty price tag. Does this have channel implications? You bet. Here’s the scoop …
The impetus behind the encryption starter package was summarized best by Thomas Gill, CEO of Certes Networks:
“… network and security professionals … use corporate credit cards to expedite the ordering process for items below a certain cost threshold, [thus] we created an e-commerce portal where customers can order the starter kits online for proof of concepts or small encryption deployments.”
That $1,000 package contains the TrustNet Manager software in addition two 3Mbps encryption appliances that, if desired, are upgradable to meet bandwidth demands up to 10Gbps. Brilliant. So where does the channel fit it? I reached out to Certes Networks PR to find out of this package deal was available to its partners and resellers. The official response?
