Reducing the cost to business associated with Internet networking and security is easily achieved with the Mako System.

Here are some real-world examples of how the Mako System has saved businesses money:


• An architectural firm with Internet usage spiraling out of control installed a Mako system at head office. Within ten minutes three worm-infected computers were identified and blocked, and in their first month of using Mako their Internet usage dropped from 20GB to just 3GB.
• An international dairy company with turnover in excess of 10 billion dollars uses Mako to link their many branch offices around the world back to a core network. The Mako system replaces a private, leased line solution provided by a major Telco and saves thousands of dollars a day.
• A large retail chain needs sites linked back to head office for secure transfer of POS data and VoIP calls. Mako's Central Management Platform means centralised IT department can see and control all sites remotely. Automated temperature alerts warn if clothing is placed on top of appliance. Appropriate Internet use policy is easily enforced.

Typically the ways in which the Mako System can reduce business costs include:

• Automated security updates
• 
Remote support
• Reduce the cost of broadband services

• Increase productivity
• Mitigate risk

With Mako all automatic security and feature updates and support are covered in one low annual licence payment. Due to hosted central management and automatic updates there is no need for expensive specialist technicians to be called on-site to update the system software or security ensuring no costly disruption or downtime for businesses. The Mako system also provides a high level of protection against legal issues that can arise from staff access and use of the Internet and mitigating the risk to businesses.
