Using an ALIX 2-3 to streamline home office networking
In our case study from James George, the winner of our “Rip Snorter” competition, learn how he used an ALIX 2-3 to simplify his home office network.
Adding an ALIX 2-3 to his sometimes unusual home network, helped James to reduce noise and heat, and save space and running costs.
And as an added bonus it also increased his WATF (Wife Appreciation/Tolerance Factor)!
James is now looking forward to finding time to play with his shiny new nuxV 1600 rack mount server.

Did you know that it’s the International Year of Forests?
Check out the forests you’ve planted!
The United Nations has declared 2011 to be the International Year of Forests.
And we’re so pleased to be adding to the number of trees in Australia through our four trees program.
So here’s some happy snaps of the trees you’ve helped us to plant so far.
Nhill, Victoria
This property is located in Yanac near Nhill in Victoria, adjacent to a large nature reserve.
It is a 425 hectare site, which was direct seeded in June 2009, resulting in over 400,000 trees, one thousand of which were “planted” by you.
The property had been used for cropping and grazing in the past, and had been cleared frequently.
The land had not been too disturbed by ploughing or stump removal and so remains close to its original condition.
The site has now been revegetated with a range of native species, including:
- Acacia
- Eucalyptus
- Melaleuca
- Leptospermum
- Callitris
and more…
Thank you for helping us to get closer to our goal of planting half a million trees over the next five years.
Our thanks go also to Greenfleet for taking care of your trees on our behalf.
