The Open Source Community has produced a wonderful Linux implementation for this router. If you want a less expensive solution, you've got to have this. The Linux implementation's interface, far superior to in our opinion to the router's native LinkSys interface, sacrifices no features and none of the ease of use.

It gets better. By configuring the WRT54GL to be integrated into our Network Management Framework, you gain access to a secure portal only you can see which provides you graphs, logs and a host of other capabilities you simply won't get without a world-class Internet infrastructure to back you up!

These configurations are capable of managing multiple Internet links and managed switch ports for a mid-size population base.

We can't print the configurations we have selected online. But call us or email us, and you will be drooling over these specs. These are not obsolete clunkers! They are an incredible value for your money.

Configuration and Installation: $250

Integration into our Network Management Framework: $ 500
With these prices you can say goodbye to cutting corners and hello to real peace of mind.

IOS licenses range from $200 to $1100.
Although many used dealers load IOS in violation of the IOS agreement, we, instead, strive to bring you reasonably priced licensing. An IOS license is permanent and does not require maintenance. We deal with many supergeeks, and we want you to get in compliance at affordable rates!

Comparison of Clone Opteron vs Clone Xeon Woodcrest

Coming Soon:

Sun gathered some of the best Opteron Engineering talent in the world to itself after acquiring the startup Kealia and with it, reacquiring Dr. Bechtolsheim. This team has finally brought to the Bay Area an alternative to that WalMart of Computers - Dell. We tested both Sun and Dell Specs, Administrative Staff, Sales and Technical Support Organizations. It's true that in terms of raw components, Sun equipment is about 15% more expensive. But we find that the support, the craftsmanship and the scalability of Sun's equipment all combine to say: Now is Sun's Hour. If your company grows to need true data-center class requirements, the scalability Sun offers will more than offset the narrow price difference Dell maintains through ruthless outsourcing.

Sun has also unleashed a mind-boggling Blade server in the $10-20K price point.

Support the Bay Area's premier Operating System and Computing Hardware Company. We'll help you negotiate the best pricing from the channel and design a solid IT Infrastructure.
