Quick followup to the beta. Today we announced PC Security Informer, our first app for Napera Insight. PC Security Informer helps IT managers prevent avoidable security compromises caused by missing security patches, ineffective antivirus and antispyware software and inoperative desktop...

We released an update and new survey last week. http://getsatisfaction.com/napera_networks/topics/napera_cobalt_beta_update We have had a couple of switch issues that have proven tough to debug in a couple of our beta networks. Thanks for your patience as we work through them.

We set an internal deadline of early August for beta participants. I have taken down the Paypal link but one person did slip through and was refunded.

Scotty - Sorry to hear you are having problems. Who did you contact at Napera support? The official support forum is over at http://getsatisfaction.com/napera_networks and that is the #1 way to get problems solved. Did you post on that site? There is a big Feedback button on every Cobalt page...

Our goal is to make the Napera web service widely available on a range of network devices, including switches, firewalls and wireless access points from multiple vendors. As mentioned above, the Cobalt beta is all about testing the web service. The switch hardware, and the local switch UI are...

Just for folks on the HardForum....

I wanted to follow up on this older thread. We wrapped up the Indigo beta a few months back. Thanks for everyone's input which was incredibly valuable for us. We announced our relationship with Marvell at Interop this week (http://www.napera.com/blog/?p=704), which was the impetus for the...

Thanks for the suggestions on supporting Opera for the administrator pages. We'll look at what it might take to support it. IE 7 or later for admin functions is correct. Supporting IE 6 for administrators would dramatically increase the amount of time required in development and testing...

No need to worry - there are still plenty of people working their way through the last steps of the beta process. We look forward to your feedback.

Thanks for all the positive comments on the Napera Indigo beta. Most folks have completed the beta testing and we are grateful for all of your testing and feedback. To answer some of your questions. Yes, the Indigo beta is based on the N24 hardware and is a proprietary design. No, you can't...
