SoHoBlue- 50 and 100 models are equipped with all gigabit Ethernet ports and SSD (Solid State Disks) drives as part of a fan-less design providing extra reliability. Both models have dual processor Intel CPUs and 2 Gigabytes of RAM as minimum - giving plenty of performance. Our engineers were beaming with pride having put them up against competitive products from Sonicwall and Watchguard in recent performance tests. All NetPilot and SoHoBlue units keep themselves automatically updated protecting against all the latest network threats.

   

SoHoBlue units are designed and built in the UK by NIS Ltd.

New Software v6.1.8

All new NetPilot and SoHoBlue models are currently shipping with v6.1.8 which implements the latest 3.2 kernel and rolls up all the previous 6.1.x releases and provides a number of fixes. Interesting features include support for BT Infinity and KC Lightstream - both of which use PPoE protocols. More IPSec VPN options have also been incorporated to allow better integration with Cisco's various IPSec implementations. In addition new out-of-office messaging features are also included. Version 6 release notes can be found: here!

For those that want to manually upgrade their units now, and know how to apply a NUB, v6.1.8 is available here: http://upgrade.netpilot.com/nubs/1000114.nub

For those that want to wait for an auto-upgrade this will be available within two weeks - your unit will handle the upgrade all by itself!

New Addition to UTM Renewal Packs - NBD advanced hardware replacement
When customers renew their UTM pack subscription - either for Standard or Premium UTM or purchase a new "Blue Pack"- besides getting all UTM updates and all operating system enhancements, they will now receive a subscription to our Next Business Day (NBD) hardware advanced replacement service. So both hardware and software are covered by one purchase. This offer is unmatched by any of our competitors.
