Why Do I Need a Merlin CD?

"Techie" Expertise - You have the expertise to load our CD onto a computer of your choice to make a Merlin Server. Cost - This is the cheapest way to get a Merlin server! Just pay us for the software. You take care of the hardware. Privacy concerns - by having your own server, you (and nobody else) can control the content. You own the machine and the contents. The data is completely under your control. Routing/Firewall - Merlin is also a router. So connect Merlin to your Internet and run multiple workstations on a local network behind Merlin. Then turn Merlin's firewall on to protect your local workstations. VPN - With the VPN (Virtual Private Network) module activated, you can use your Merlin server to create a secure tunnel to remote offices.
