TrustELI Unveils Managed Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance for Small Businesses

TrustELI, innovative provider of the first professionally managed, all-in-one broadband security appliance for the home, today announced availability of Eli for Small Business, designed to help small businesses preemptively protect systems and private information, without the need for any special technical expertise or additional resources.

Eli for Small Business is a UTM appliance designed to protect users from blended threats, while reducing complexity. The product combines a full-featured firewall, DSL modem, wireless connectivity, a 4-port Ethernet switch and VPN capabilities with anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, content filtering controls and managed services -- everything needed to secure the entire network in one small, lightweight appliance.

"As a small business owner, I do not have the resources, time and capital larger enterprise organizations do, but protecting our systems, private information and reputation is still extremely important to me," said Frank Lobascio, president of American Carriers Moving and Storage. "Before Eli, I had very little control over employee Internet use, and we were experiencing a serious security incident at least once a quarter. With Eli in place, inappropriate websites are blocked, and we haven't encountered so much as a single virus. Eli is always on the job, allowing us to focus on providing quality customer service."

Eli for Small Business eliminates the need to manage multiple products from a variety of vendors. TrustELI automatically uploads new virus definitions, known spammer blacklists and objectionable Web sites at least thirty times per day to ensure the most up-to-date and ongoing protection. Eli for Small Business adds VPN capabilities, a comprehensive suite of managed services including 24x7 connectivity monitoring, and a guaranteed overnight replacement warranty. It provides more administrative controls, including the ability to define custom firewall policies, or customize content filtering and blocking according to administrator preferences via an intuitive Web interface.

"We are committed to providing solid, reliable, enterprise-grade security for smaller firms that require the same level of protection as larger organizations, but do not have the resources or the time to purchase, update and maintain a hodgepodge of security technologies," said Susan Lutz, founder and CEO of TrustELI. "Eli for Small Business is a sophisticated, plug-and-protect solution that prevents Internet threats before they penetrate the network and have serious impact on business."

Eli for Small Business has an MSRP of $249.99, with the managed services starting at $19.99 per month. The product is available now in North America from D&H Distributing at 800-340-1001 or http://www.dandh.com. In Europe, the product is available from Unipalm at http://www.unipalm.co.uk.
