M-250
The Network Box M-250 is designed to protect medium-sized organizations. Many medium sized organizations do not have computer racks, so the Network Box M-250 has been specifically designed to allow convenient stand-alone or rack mounted placement. This is achieved by making the unit only 27cm (11 inches) deep. As with all Network Box ?M? series units, the Network Box M-250 is based on 1000-BASE-T network technology, and includes four independent Gigabit network ports.

In a company with 50 computers, each with (for example) POP3 email system setup on individual email client software, setup would take time and effort to achieve, even without any additional cost. In the case of the Network Box solution, the 50 computers would be protected as soon as the system is installed - with no additional effort.
