Interesting... Adding physical security solves a lot of HIPPA and
other entangling legal liabilities involving lost or stolen hardware.
The hardware is interesting and sufficient for a work station
or administrators desktop for a mail server in the basement.

The software issues are left to others to get right.
I happen to like their choice to start.

Missing is a fast physical network link.
Three or four links would make for a nice firewall.
We know that firewalls get hacked and defense
in depth helps.
