Back To 1995

   Chapter 138 Debut

  Antivirus software company, in the Internet and even in the technology industry, has never been a key industry that the mainstream of the industry pays attention to, but it is inseparable from it.

On weekdays, antivirus software companies don't seem to be of much use. Instead, they will be criticized for occupying the pit and not shitting, occupying memory, and even spreading those viruses because of monthly fees or pop-up advertisements. Antivirus software companies The purpose is to raise their own self-respect and threaten users not to delete their software.

   But at critical moments, such as the emergence of large-scale computer viruses, when panda burning incense, ransomware, etc. appeared to ravage countless computers, they began to think of antivirus software companies.

Antivirus software companies have different functions in the hands of different people. For Song Yang, he does not expect antivirus software to bring him many users or benefits. What he needs is Fortis, which was launched for Song Yang. The product "certifies" that it is safe to use that software, and that's enough!

   "In a few days, I will launch a new product online. It needs Fortis to ensure that the computers of users who use this product are safe enough. This requires Fortis to use real network security technology!"

   "In addition, by the end of this year at the latest, an Internet platform payment software will be launched for Internet users and major companies to pay for products on the Internet platform, and it needs the support of Fortinet!"

  Song Yang doesn't mind revealing some news to Xie Qing, ICQ will be launched soon.

In addition, payment software such as PayPal is also in Song Yang's hands. The payment software seems inconspicuous, but as long as it is really done, the Internet products, as long as users need to charge money, are almost always away from the place. Don't open it, but this also requires security technology, otherwise the user account of every three days will be stolen, then who wants to use this thing.

Song Yang revealed a lot of information. Xie Qing could not help but stare at Song Yang blankly when he heard this. Over the years, there have been many geniuses in Silicon Valley. From electronic hardware to Internet software, countless geniuses have been born. .

But even Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Anderson, etc., at most, they build a company, and then slowly develop with one-third of an acre. How can there be someone like Song Yang, who is almost as productive as that? How long has Song Yang been in the business, but how many Internet companies have been launched? !

Needless to say, DoubleClick, which is carrying the global digital advertising banner, has redefined e-mail, and has just sold for a sky-high price of $500 million. Next year, Song Yang is planning to launch at least two Internet products, none of which are the same. A type of Internet ranks, almost always exploring the way for latecomers!

You must know that the most difficult thing in an industry is the pathfinder, who always shouts to innovate, but just like the era of great sailing, to find a new channel is often full of bones, and I don’t know how many ships have sunk. to find a way to the New World.

On Song Yang's side, it was like the expedition fleet that was constantly taking risks, constantly opening up new waterways. He didn't even think about collecting money while guarding the opened routes. Instead, he kept sailing. It seemed that he was not afraid of sinking ships at all. Horsepower is on a rampage!

The emergence of   Double-click, to a certain extent, has changed the profit model of Silicon Valley, and it is possible to make money for free. It has become the direction that America and the global Internet industry are trying to do today. It may not be able to earn, but it may survive.

  Hotmail has made the Internet work, and it has become really popular. It has swept millions of users around the world, which also shows that it is really needed in this era.

   In this era, as long as famous Internet products and companies have their own unique characteristics, Xie Qing did not know whether Song Yang's next Internet products would make waves in the Internet industry again.

   "Fortis must cooperate well here. We will upgrade Fortis antivirus software as soon as possible to increase Fortis' network security features!" Xie Qing assured Song Yang.

Song Yang is now the biggest funder of Fortis. He has invested so much money in Fortis, but basically does not interfere with the operation and management of Fortis, letting Xie Qing and others toss. As for Song Yang's requirements for Fortis, Xie Qing naturally couldn't refuse.

   After coming out of the office, Song Yang and Xie Qing went to the hardware laboratory of Fortigate together. Compared with the previous laboratory of the grass stage team, the current laboratory is a professional-level laboratory.

   When Song Yang and Xie Qing went in, Deng Feng, who was in charge of the UTM hardware equipment of the Flying Tower, was busy with a group of people.

Without disturbing Deng Feng and a group of engineers, Song Yang stood by, watching with interest the group of engineers busy. Fortis' UTM equipment is a box that is almost the same as a DVD, and it is now connected to several computers to make experiment.

   It wasn't until Deng Feng and the others were busy with a round of testing that Song Yang stepped forward, "How's the effect?!"

   Seeing that it was Song Yang, Deng Feng, who was still busy calculating data, hurriedly stood up, "Boss Song!"

   "It's still being tested," Deng Feng saw Song Yang pick up a Fortis UTM box, "This is the first generation of UTM equipment developed by the hardware department!"

   "It uses a security chip modified by other chip manufacturers. Currently, various functions are being tested, but the effect is very good. Compared with traditional antivirus software and firewall hardware products, the performance can be about 17% higher!"

Deng Feng said with excitement, the key point of this UTM device of Fortis is not how much stronger than those anti-virus software or hardware firewall, but to prove that Xie Qing and their UTM network security concept is Feasible, that's the most important thing.

  Song Yang nodded, "Wait until the UTM of Fortinet is officially formed, and Double-click is the first to buy it. I believe that the big companies in America will not reject Fortinet's UTM equipment!"

As long as the performance of UTM equipment can be proved, those big dog owners in America have no reason to refuse. For the sake of computer security, big business giants spend tens of millions to purchase Fortinet services and equipment in exchange for protection from hacker attacks. That simply couldn't be more cost-effective.

   Of course, according to America's urination, the first order of business must be the wool of the Federation. Just like Oracle, the business that just started receiving orders is the order sent by the FBI.

It’s hard to say other places, but here at Fortis, you can catch the Texas line and let the financial department in Texas contribute a few orders to Fortis. It’s totally fine. What kind of.

Microsoft's efforts to **** the federal government's wool every year are ruthless. Every year, the system and software orders received from the federal government are astronomical. The wool of the knife, even the Fortinet that will receive federal orders in the future, is almost insignificant compared to Microsoft.

  Song Yang put down the UTM equipment in his hand and said to Deng Feng, "In the future, Fortinet has enough hardware security equipment technology and experience, and can also enter other security equipment industries."

   "In the future, Fortinet will also be able to develop and produce monitoring equipment, access control and other IoT security equipment, making Fortinet not only a leader in the network software security industry, but also a security hardware product company!"

   Listening to Song Yang's words, Deng Feng's eyes lit up. Software is not his specialty, but he was born in Intel, and he is very good at hardware, not only in the chip industry, but also in other hardware industries.

  Deng Feng is a little bit eager, "If Fortigate's UTM equipment can be affirmed by users, then I will try to develop other hardware security products."

Xie Qing, who was standing on the side, looked at Song Yang and the two who were chatting very happily. At this time, he didn't know what to say. In just a few minutes, Song Yang dug another hole for Feita, but Song Yang gave Feita a lot of fun. The road pointed out by Fortinet is indeed very tempting. Once it is completed, Fortinet will almost break free from the shackles of the safety network, and will be able to reach the heights that McAfee and his peers can’t even imagine!

Developed PC anti-virus software, launched UTM hardware equipment, and now proposed to enter the field of monitoring and other security equipment. Fortinet, a small and broken company, is doing something that anti-virus software giants like McAfee and Symantec can't even think of. , Xie Qing never imagined what the flying tower would look like in the future.

On the Feita side, the most satisfying thing for Song Yang is the food, which is completely in line with Song Yang's appetite. Xie Qing and the others can always get Amelica from fellow villagers. Various seasonings and food.

   Stayed on the Feita side. After Song Yang ate a meal of bacon and a small hot pot, he left the Feita office building and went to ICQ.

ICQ is much busier than the take-off tower. As ICQ's chief technology officer, Wesley, who is about to appear on behalf of ICQ, is bringing a group of engineers to find bugs day and night. Take a day off.

Of course, the reason why these engineers can be so sleepless and sleepless is definitely inseparable from the temptation of a US knife. Now ICQ engineers are basically getting the most generous salary in the entire Silicon Valley. Microsoft has.

This year, all the companies that have given out Christmas bonuses in Silicon Valley, Microsoft, Song Yang, and Yahoo! The bonus is the highest.

In the current circle of engineers in Silicon Valley, Songyang's attractiveness to technical personnel is quietly increasing. The technical personnel who want to come to Songyang are no longer than those who want to go to Microsoft, Oracle, AOL, and Netscape. Worse.

   "That is, ICQ can be officially launched on New Year's Eve?!" Song Yang raised his head from the computer screen and asked Wesley.

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Wesley took a deep breath, and then nodded deeply. He was ready to hold a press conference for ICQ in front of the entire peers.
