“I cannot begin to thank … all of the people who assisted me, (including) the great people at Mirage, who installed their Mirage NAC appliance and just ROCKED those hackers & viruses. Their device, to say the least, is just amazing, and scary in how good it worked.”-- Tony Ortiz, Court IT Manager, Merced Superior Court
