Messaging represents a contradiction of sorts for most organizations: it is the most critical communications tool for most users, yet it is so critical it has become like plumbing or electricity – it must always be available, yet it represents only a cost of doing business, not a competitive value or differentiator. To maximize the benefit that can be gained from messaging, as well as to allow an organization to use its resources in the most efficient manner possible, messaging systems must made virtually 100% reliable and be operated at the lowest possible cost.
However, the growing array of messaging threats that organizations face is making messaging management more difficult. Viruses, worms, denial-of-service attacks, spam, the need to satisfy a growing set of government regulations, legal actions that increasingly call for legal discovery of messaging system content and the odd tornado or two make messaging management increasingly difficult.
Metatron Enterprise Messaging Solution(EMS) provides important services, including user administration, mail transfer agents, virus protection, spam filtering, mail filtering, Web-based mail, and mailing list maintenance.
Following are its primary features:
Collaboration suite Horde: Besides SMTP servers (Postfix), our solution provides additional collaboration facilities like calendar sharing, task (to-do list), notes and instant messaging (Jabber).
Anti Virus and Anti-Spam
Anti-Virus(ClamAV) significantly reduces the IT burden by capturing viruses before they enter the corporate network. Using multiple strategies to protect against this malicious code, ClamAV is the front line of defense to keep enterprises virus free and assure a clean message stream. In addition to guarding against viruses harbored by inbound email, ClamAV also protects businesses in their outbound email communications. A company’s reputation is critical, and being the source of a damaging virus that infects the systems of customers, partners and suppliers can do irreparable harm to that reputation.
Anti-Spam(Spamassasin) is a software with multiple layers of technology to protect businesses from receiving unsolicited email. Left unchecked, the scourge of spam can overwhelm businesses, destroying the productivity and benefits of this vital business communication tool. The sheer volume coupled with spammer creativity leaves businesses with no option but to turn to technology to combat this ever-present threat.
Policy Enforcement
As part of our integrated approach to message security, customers use our Policy Enforcement service to automatically monitor outbound and inbound email, stopping sensitive and inappropriate messages from leaving and entering the corporate network. This service allows Administrators to define custom policy rules that flag messages for one or more of the following attributes:
* Words and phrases in the subject and body
* Message size
* Attachment types
* Number of recipients
* Sender and recipient addresses
* IP address or domain name
Policy Enforcement can also be an important and effective weapon against viruses by filtering specific kinds of attachments and email based on known virus characteristics. For example, by allowing select access to executable content by small user populations, a company can eliminate risk for 98 percent of its users.
Secure Email
We provide strong, automated encryption with a cost-effective infrastructure. Policy-based Encryption encrypts messages at the gateway based on policy rules for compliance and business requirements. Communication via TLS-enabled network further ensures messages stay secure.
Consolidation and redundancy: Based on your requirements we set up our solution on high-availability clusters, backed by load balancers.
Search and archival facility:
Message Archive helps enterprises not only preserve the productivity and benefits of electronic communication, but it also complies with the regulatory and legal demands placed upon businesses and their communication systems. The service intercepts and makes copies of inbound, outbound, and internal email, as well as IM and other communications and stores those message copies in a secure, tamperproof archive. Comprehensive message indexing allows users to search stored messages by header, subject line, and body contents, including attachments. If a business’ primary mail environment is down, Message Archive continues to copy messages to the archive and queues the original message for delivery once the primary email environment is restored.
Feature-rich (Web 2.0-enabled) webmail user interface.Requires minimal training and allows access to the message store for end users from any location.
Flexibility to meet custom requirements: We offer flexibility to tweak the setup to meet your future requirements.
Scalability: Our setups could be easily scaled up to users in the order of five-digit figures.
