Benefits

• Affordable The IronPort C100 is designed and built not only for power and ease of use, but also for affordability. This innovative technology provides a comprehensive solution to ensure the availability and security of your email infrastructure—implemented in a manner that makes it cost-effective for companies of all sizes.
   
• Reduced Administrative Burden The IronPort C100 uses the industry's most advanced technology to deal with inbound threats and anomalies in a fully automated manner. This allows highly skilled IT staff to focus on other problems and leave the email issues to IronPort.
   
• Increased End User Productivity By securing the network at the gateway level, the IronPort C100 acts as a "shock absorber," in front of the groupware server(s). This ensures that end users are not bogged down by spam, viruses and other threats. Unlike other solutions, IronPort security services do not rely on end users to "train" the system. Instead, high accuracy is maintained through continuous and automatic rule updates.
   
• Lower TCO The IronPort MTA platform enables massive reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by consolidating email operations and security into a single platform. Self-managing security services provide the lowest maintenance solution in the industry with minimal configuration requirements.
   
• Scalable Due to the unique design of the IronPort C100 core architecture, the solution is robust enough to support growing companies. The IronPort C100 scales as the size of your organization increases. Multiple IronPort C100 appliances can also be clustered for automatic scalability, redundancy and fault tolerance.
   
• Unprecedented Insight The IronPort C100 offers very sophisticated management, monitoring and reporting tools. Each appliance has a unique reporting system, providing both a real-time and historical look at mail flowing through your email infrastructure. IronPort provides system administrators with the necessary information to make critical security decisions.
   
• Improved Network Efficiency IronPort's Reputation Filtering System was the first in the industry and remains the most sophisticated. In its default settings, it will block over 80% of incoming mail at the connection level, saving bandwidth (the message is never accepted) and system resources. CPU intensive spam and virus filters are only used when needed, and rate limiting is a very effective defense against "hit and run" spam attacks or denial of service attacks.
