A lot of people were interested in the January 4 announcement that Cisco is purchasing IronPort for $830 million (well, at least they were interested in IronPort news before the iPhone argument between Apple and Cisco got in full swing).
IronPort, a five-year-old, privately held company, makes appliances for Web security and management. From our perspective, this deal certainly seems like a big validation that appliance-based software has an important place in enterprise software ecosystem.
But this notion of appliance-based delivery still seems to be flying under the radar a bit.
In an unscientific search, I found:
- 500 stories on Google News on the Cisco, IronPort acquisition.
- 114 of those stories mentioned anything about an appliance.
If we’ve learned anything this week, it’s that KACE is onto something with Appliance-based Software Delivery (AbSD). It’s just a matter of time before the press realizes how big this appliance thing is.
Cisco security device supports the use of login banners in console sessions and Telnet sessions, but not in SSH sessions. Exec and MOTD banners are supported in the console, Telnet and SSH sessions. Banners can be up to 510 characters. You can create banners online, or by creating multiple banner or multiple statements using the key sequence of n which inserts a carriage return.

Interesting view, I wonder whether or not it is right though to insist you package your solution in pre-selected appliances.
Software alone can take advantage of being distributed in virtual machines assisting deployment and maintainability - i.e. a virtual appliance straight out of the box that can be deployed to any part of your organisation.
Is virtualisation something you have considered in your product development model/roadmap?
