(Before you read this, remember, we are not tax or business advisors. There are a lot of people out there that can help you with business decisions, we are not they).
Leasing provides an easy way to acquire new business equipment with a minimal capital outlay. If you're like most businesses, cash-flow drives most of your purchasing decisions and leasing can provide a way to keep that cash available for daily operations. Budgeting for purchases and managing their costs over time is also a great benefit to a leasing program. How you decide to acquire your equipment and how you use the options you have is a business decision that can make a big difference to the life of your company. Choose well, grasshopper!
What is L.O.M.?

Lights Out Management (LOM) is a management tool used by high-end hardware manufacturers to give low-level, hardware-based access to the console of a running computer system without having to be in the room with it. How is this useful?
If you are faced with a failing piece of hardware and it is local to you, you can simply go to the hardware, view the console screen and see if there is any indication of what the problem may be. If you can't make the operating system reply, you can reboot into the hardware monitor (firmware, or BIOS) and watch the startup sequence for clues.
If you are NOT in the same room with the failing hardware, you most likely rely on remote access tools, such as LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, VNC or Remote Desktop. But all of these systems require a running operating system in good enough shape to support the network stack, the user interface and the graphics system. If you have a dreaded BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), you won't see it from any of these tools. You will, however, see if from an LOM system!
Serious Security Issue on ALL Platforms!

There has been a serious security issue revealed in the past few weeks that affects every single computer in the world! I know that sounds alarmist and the setup to a bad joke, but it's true. To understand it's pervasiveness requires a technical explanation of the fundamental way we secure ourselves online.
Public-Key Encryption
Public-Key Encryption, or PKI for short, is the most common method used for encrypting traffic across the Internet. It is also the primary way we use to ensure the identity of people and computers across the internet. Your web pages that start with "https://" as well as your email connection using secure services for POP and IMAP use this technology. Most importantly, encrypting a certificate with these pairs ensures that the certificate that you receive truly is from your bank and not some nefarious hacker trying to steal your information!
