MailFrontier Gateway Appliance on Linux Delivers Maximum Enterprise Security
MailFrontier Delivers More Choice With Platform and Deployment Options

PALO ALTO, Calif. - August 9, 2005 – MailFrontier™, the leader in email security, today announced the next generation of its award-winning MailFrontier Gateway™ Appliance. Based on the IBM xSeries platform, MailFrontier Gateway Appliance is now available on hardened versions of Red Hat Linux and Microsoft Windows. Operating in both environments seamlessly differentiates MailFrontier Gateway Appliance from other email security appliance vendors, such as CipherTrust and IronPort, by enabling customers to deploy in a manner fitting their network environment.

"We're continuing to strengthen our leadership position in the email security market by offering enterprise customers flexible options for stopping spam, viruses, phishing and other emerging email threats with the MailFrontier hardened Linux- or Windows-based appliance,” said Gleb Budman, MailFrontier's vice president, products. “MailFrontier offers the industry's most comprehensive and easy-to-use email security available. We continue to innovate and give more choice to our customers in order to meet today's unique challenges whether it be regulatory compliance or increasingly complex email threats."

With a single Linux or Windows appliance – deployed in five easy steps in less than an hour and managed remotely through an easy-to-use web interface – MailFrontier Gateway Appliance provides complete inbound and outbound email protection. For customers with large, multi-platform environments, MailFrontier continues to lead the email security market as the only vendor offering the ability to ‘mix and match' deployments. For example, a Linux appliance could be deployed at the network perimeter to handle filtering and security and a Windows appliance could be deployed as a control center inside the corporate network to match common internal systems. MailFrontier Gateway Appliance also can be seamlessly load-balanced and clustered for high availability, redundant deployments.

"In today's network environment, enterprises are often running multiple platforms and vendors must offer a broad range of deployment options that are quick to integrate," said Jim Holt, president of Wolcott Group, a premier reseller of MailFrontier Gateway. "When it comes to email security, the choice of a hardened Windows or Linux operating system is ideal for organizations across vertical markets that must immediately secure their perimeter and block spam, virus, phishing and other blended email threats."
