HotBrick, Miami, agreed to market its firewall appliances to TigerDirect's 15 million catalog subscribers throughout North America. TigerDirect.com, also based in Miami, will promote HotBrick's appliances via e-mail and the TigerDirect.com site, call center and catalogs.
“We've never carried a solution like this because the ones we've carried in the past were priced at $1,000-plus with features that were not equivalent to this, and they were more targeted to Fortune 1000 corporations and government agencies,” said Karl Hirshon, network product manager for TigerDirect. “HotBrick's price points start at $499 and are targeted to small businesses.”
