Why sell iShaper?
Because the growing trend today is infrastructure consolidation and application centralization for businesses that support branch offices. As more and more enterprises move in this direction, WAN dependency greatly increases resulting in overall deteriorated performance - slow file access, low quality IP telephony and unreliable ERP applications. iShaper solves this problem in one appliance and is the only single platform branch office consolidation solution on the market that satisfies this growing business trend.
Respond to your customer demands for next generation “branch office consolidation” - the hottest IT initiative going today - by selling iShaper, designed for enterprise customers with branch offices supporting 50+ users.

- Slashes operational costs by dramatically reducing bandwidth, consolidating equipment and simplifying management to reduce total cost of ownership.
- Delivers consolidation, convergence and beyond by enabling data and server consolidation while insuring high quality voice and video in a system that can adapt to future application and architectures.
