And the clients. Ericsson. Salesforce. Big companies. They’re all paying for this. Of course they are. Because they have things to protect. And they’re willing to pay a premium for something that actually works. It’s…logical. Which is what makes it so frustrating. Why isn’t everyone focusing on this? It’s not glamorous, but it’s essential.

And in this market, that’s almost a radical concept. It’s like finding a reasonably priced, well-maintained sedan in a world of self-driving, chrome-plated monstrosities. It’s…fine. It’s just…fine. And honestly, that’s enough to make me slightly suspicious.
