It is not often I blog about 1E, I think it has only happened once before actually.  Even before I got an offer from them they told me they didn't want me to blog about them or their products because they didn't want my blog to turn into PR for 1E.  And over the last year I have not talked about the products at all.  But as you may have noticed the number of posts I put up have also dropped dramatically.  Well I spend most of my time working with the 1E products, back when I was at ESRI I spent most of my time working on SMS, so if I don't blog about the 1E products I don't have too much else to talk about.  But I have been thinking about this over the past few weeks and I think I am going to politely ignore their request to not talk about 1E products.  I think there is some extremely cool stuff that 1E offers, be it Services or products and as long as I talk about what I want and not what the Marketing guys and gals tell me I think I can keep my blog from turning into a 1E ad.  I mean look at how many people at Microsoft blog, and what do they blog about?  Microsoft! 

If you don't know what Nomad is, it rocks!  You can get rid of those pesky, lowly, DP's in every single remote office with Nomad.  When you use Nomad only one of your SMS clients on the subnet copies the package down from the DP.  It pulls it down and then lets all the other clients on that subnet copy, or better yet, streams it to them in a Multicast session.  So you only have one client that makes the trip to the DP instead of each client, saving you all that bandwidth and from having to manage the DP.  One of the best features is the way it handles bandwidth throttling, it does real time bandwidth throttling that you can configure.  It doesn't just use an arbitrary figure it measures the amount of time it takes for a round trip to the DP and back, and then based on what you have configured, say 20%, it will use 20% of the bandwidth that is actually available, and it does this each time it goes and grabs another piece of the package from the DP so if the user who is the one that is caching the package for that subnet fires off a copy of a huge file it will immediately notice it and remeasure the available bandwidth and only use 20% of what is left over, so the user never even notices!  I told you it rocks!  There are some other really cool features too, but I don't want to steal all of Brian's thunder.  Check it out by attending the webcast and tell Brian I sent you.
