that is the ideal solution for a network manager responsible for managing multiple
locations.

of their servers in place quickly. The G2
gives remote offices the same degree of
system maintenance as the corporate
headquarters and saves them the expense
of additional staffing requirements.

tremendous value-add to any service-
focused organization.
