A note to Adam Olsen

Dear Adam,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the HELM.

When I first started looking for a solution to serve files to my Windows network I called a few IT companies to get quotes on a servers. The pricing on all these servers ranged between $9,000 and $13,000. I knew this was more than our small business was able to incur at the time, so I started to look for other options. I searched for coincidently “office appliance” and was delighted to find your website. Your server surpassed the specs of the most expensive machine I was quoted and sold for less than 1/4 of the price.

I have been using the HELM the past 2 and 1/2 years and it has been absolutely reliable. We use The HELM daily as a firewall (to protect our network), as a file server for all our workstations, as a database server, a proxy server ( to limit access to specific internet sites), and now that our developer has moved out of state as a VPN server to give him access to the HELM. Remote desktop client software is also included is to enable us to provide support to all our Windows workstations even when not in the office. All of these features are great, but the single most important feature is the administrative interface which allows even someone with very little knowledge of computers to accomplish advanced tasks (creating users, file shares, IP filtering) like a real System Administrator.

I am continually amazed at the HELM’s performance and reliability. Choosing the HELM over the other offerings has turned out to be one of the best, if not the best IT purchase I have made. I would recommend the HELM to any small business that needs a reliable “hassle free” server for their their Windows Network.
