Comment

Stop the press where have I heard that comment before?
Is that the comment Microsoft uses for selling exchange?

Ok maybe that's a bit unfair but that's how it sounds at first, and as for the comment
"You can take somebody straight out of college and they can manage your firewall"
I don't know think so, colleges are anything up to two years behind commercial standards and as such wouldn't let them near a entry point till they'd have had some more guidance.

Now lets get down to business “strategic“ lovely word isn't it but what does it mean. Well is simple terms its a movement that allows you to have more options in the future so in this sense I could say that Apache and PHP are strategic as they give me more options that IIS does, but equally I could say its strategic to have a secure network as if nothing working not a lot of point.
