Reliability

Email service is a critical component of your service to your customers. It is not uncommon for an ISP’s email volume to double or triple in a matter of a few months due to growth in spam traffic – with peak email volume jumping even more dramatically.

This unpredictable and often dramatic growth of junk mail can have substantial impact on your network bandwidth, email infrastructure, and support requirements. Whereas mail service primarily involves I/O and disk usage, the accurate detection & prevention of email threats is processor-intensive and memory-intensive. The computing power required to effectively detect and manage these email threats, software-based or appliance-based security solutions many time's are not sufficiently scalable and have a significant risk of failure over time.

A highly-scalable, top-tier infrastructure

As a managed service, this service relieves ISP's from the limitations of an internally based solution. Further, it is architected to meet the rigorous load requirements of the most demanding ISP and enterprise customer environment. The software, hardware, and network architecture include the following features:

• Multiple Redundant Datacenters
• Fully redundant systems at each datacenter, running in parallel
• Fully Hardened operating systems
• Highly optimized, compiled software components
• Fully automatic, real-time message processing
• 24x7 automated systems and full-path monitoring from multiple locations

The result is a highly reliable defense against email threats, with no single point of failure and with the scalability to accommodate the growth or spikes in message volume that are increasingly common for ISPs.
