Halon enabled us to reduce initial capital cost, ongoing support and maintenance costs, rack space, and ongoing power and cooling requirements by up to 70%.

Søren Visti Kristensen, One.com. Case study

Halon can do more than we expected. We should have chosen Halon earlier; we could never have built a solution like this on our own.

Marc van de Geijn, bHosted. Case study

We reduced hosting costs, saved 30% on operating costs, reduced time of managing by 90% and improved customer response time to minutes from hours.

Brad Slavin, DuoCircle Case study

It is rare that I recommend a commercial product at all, but Halon deserves it. The software is very robust, and it is easy to follow the flow of emails.
