—— Like many young chefs, Tony Ferrari and Jonathan Sutton lacked the
startup capital to open their own brick-and-mortar restaurant in the
expensive Bay Area. Instead, they launched a pop-up restaurant, and

New Locations
Opening a new location is a competitive and deadline-driven experience.
Waiting on an ISP to provision connectivity could hold up opening a new
location or office (and revenue generation) by weeks, while the parent
company continues incurring overhead. In enterprises with razor-thin
profit margins, these delays can cripple a new location even before it
officially launches.
Kiosks
Kiosks can help increase revenue and brand exposure when placed
inside another brand’s location. They can be used in numerous industries:
in healthcare for telemedicine, in the financial services industry for
ATMs, by the food service industry for vending machines, by retailers
for gift card vending, and more. A temporary network may be the most
appropriate choice when testing new concepts or locations, or can be
used to inexpensively move kiosks to new locations.

to make it easier to secure the network with limited or centralized resources.
Additionally, depending on the use case, network administrators may need
a solution that supports third-party, cloud-based security services such as
Intrustion Protection and Detection Systems (IPS/IDS).
