What’s a 3popbox anyway?
(Actual models may vary from this image.)
So what is a 3popbox? Simply put, a 3popbox is a low-cost micro-server that delivers full featured services at a very low-cost. Consider it an alternative to more costly servers that require high-end hardware, software licenses, installation fees, and periodic maintenance–the 3popbox eliminates all of those costs and still delivers almost all of the same functionality! (For most businesses it provides all of the functionality needed, period.)
So what can you do with a 3popbox? The scenarios are numerous and all of them will save your business time and money. Here are just a few examples:
- Automatic on site/offsite backups of all your critical data
- Enterprise grade firewalling to protect all of your technology resources
- Virtual Private Networking (VPN) to connect all of your remote offices and remote workers together regardless of where they are
- All traditional network services including: web, file, DNS, DHCP, and more…essentially its a “network in a box”
Best of all, 3popboxes are virtually foolproof! They require almost no maintenance whatsoever eliminating periodic maintenance costs, and if your 3popbox experiences a catastrophic hardware failure (hey, it happens) it can be replaced easily and with very little downtime. Lastly, the 3popbox is an a la carte offering–you can buy it outright or lease it for a low monthly fee, paying for only the services you actually use.
Great site for a great company! When I was reading about the 3popbox I kept hearing it in my head to the tune of Sammy Hagar’s song, Three Lock Box. Thanks for all you do for us.
