I would like to be able to restore the text from this deleted file if anyone out there in wikiland is listening...

Someone has moved it to User:Mickyounger/NetBox Blue. You may want to consider getting opinions of other editors before moving it to article-space (where it might end up being deleted again.) ~Kylu (u|t) 14:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

NetBox Blue

I have restored the page NetBox Blue to User:Mickyounger/NetBox Blue. You may want to talk to Orangemike as he was the one who deleted it. Moving it back into the article space without first addressing the concerns will result in it being deleted once again. J Milburn (talk) 12:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

this is the proposed new content

NetBox Blue Pty Ltd was founded in Brisbane by Trent Davis in 1999. It is currently a privately owned company, with majority shareholders all being Australian residents. NetBox Blue’s head office is in Milton, Queensland, Australia, with branch offices in Sydney, Melbourne and London. NetBox Blue has shown installations of their flagship product in 15 countries around the world, and currently claims over 54,000 clients.

NetBox Blue develops enterprise class email, internet and network management solutions, primarily designed for small and medium business. The main product from NetBox Blue is the UTM NetBox. This appliance aims to provide users with a simple, holistic solution for many common business problems. All of the sales, product development and support are based in Australia.

The Unified Threat Management solution runs on a hardened Linux kernel, and can be deployed as an IBM System X rack-mounted server, a VMware instance, or a small form-factor tower.

In a typical deployment, the UTM NetBox has many key features such as :

• Anti-spam appliances
• Antivirus software
• Stateful Firewall
• Detailed email & network reporting
• Secure Virtual private network
• Traffic shaping Quality of service QoS
• URL filtering
• Quota enforcement
• Bandwidth Link aggregation

In late 2006, NetBox Blue aligned themselves closely with IBM, and has since then been working with the technical team to optimize the solution. In recent times, NetBox Blue has achieved Premier level business partnership alliance with IBM.

NetBox Blue has recently announced a mobile security sister company, titled Leopard Labs. The Leopard Labs solution "Protect" claims a reliable, flexible and cost effective way to filter unwanted and inappropriate internet content on mobile phones. The solution is said to be unique because it sits on the handset, avoiding the need for a server-side solution. "Protect" enables a company to provide NetBox - like policies to mobile fleets as well as network based PCs.

1) This still reads like an advertisement or brochure. Purge it of marketing phrasing like "a simple, holistic solution for many common business problems," "achieved Premier level business partnership alliance with IBM" and "is said to be unique ", as well as the use of the word "solution" anywhere in the article. 2) Only one external link to the subject's own website(s) 3) You need to create real footnotes, not just dump a bunch of stuff at the bottom of the page. See WP:CITE for guidance on how to create footnotes for citations. 3a) A reproduction of a press release is never a reliable source, nor is it evidence of notability. 4) The draft language is in the sandbox, User:Mickyounger/NetBox Blue; it's a waste of space to reproduce it on your talk page. I am copying this to the talk page of the draft article, where it belongs. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
