Enterprise-Class pricing is based on a per-address fee, delivering maximum flexibility for large, distributed organizations using QIP for network management. Now, organizations can deploy, reconfigure and change their enterprise Intranets in any way, as their needs change, without experiencing the contractual limitations or added costs typical of network changes under traditional, configuration-based pricing packages. Quadritek's Enterprise-Class pricing begins at $5 per IP address for Intranets up to 2,000 addresses, including all QIP capabilities, but minus the product's Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which are sold separately. QIP Enterprise-Class pricing is also discounted, based on the volume of IP addresses needed, down to $2 per IP address for Intranets of 500,000 addresses or more. QIP Enterprise-Class pricing is available now, and some restrictions may apply on the licensing of the underlying 3rd party database technology (Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server A relational DBMS from Microsoft that is a major component of the Windows Server System. It is Microsoft's high-end client/server database and is closely integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio and the Microsoft Office System. or Oracle). Quadritek also announced that it will continue to offer a la carte pricing for small organizations wishing to license QIP for a specific configuration. "The days when an organization could build an information system and lock its configuration in stone, based on software licensing, are long gone," said Quadritek CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Joseph D'Andrea. "That's why we've created our new QIP Enterprise-Class pricing package -- to give Intranet administrators the freedom to make changes in the Intranet without worrying about contractual or pricing problems. Today's Intranets are complex, dynamic environments that rely on flexibility to meet the organization's needs. We've given our customers that flexibility -- in both QIP and in Enterprise-Class pricing." QIP Enterprise-Class pricing, with discounts based on the volume of IP addresses needed, is a cost-effective solution for large-scale Intranets. It simplifies purchasing by allowing organizations to determine their software cost simply by totaling the number of IP addresses the Intranet supports. It expedites deployment because there are no limitations imposed on centralized or distributed configurations, and no limits on the number of enterprise servers, remote servers, Web sites, front-ends, network services and so on, that can be included in the system. And since Enterprise-Class pricing imposes no restriction on operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , it also allows organizations to deploy UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969.

"In addition to our Enterprise-Class and a la carte pricing, we'll also announce, in the near future, pricing for smaller organizations having less than 2000 IP addresses," said Keith Larson, Quadritek's vice president of Marketing. "This will open the low-end market In the USA, as well as in most developed countries, the low-end market consists of lower-priced products suitable for customers who are not willing or able to spend large amounts of money. In developing countries, some low-end products may be considered high-end or even luxury items. to QIP and help growing organizations gain the benefits of centralized Intranet control and easy, enterprise-wide Intranet management."
