Email has undoubtedly become a key tool for communications among companies worldwide. However, with frequent virus attacks and the alarming rate that spam has been filling up inboxes, email is quickly becoming a less efficient means of communicating. In fact, the Radicati Group, a market research firm in Palo Alto, California, predicts that by 2007, there will be 50 billion spam messages each day, costing companies almost $200 billion per year. This is simply astounding and unacceptable. It's time to take control of spam.
The Barracuda architecture optimizes the processing of each email, which yields
the performance required to process millions of messages per day. Unlike software
solutions, the Barracuda Spam Firewall reduces the load placed on the email
server by off-loading both spam and virus filtering.
Easy to Use and Maintain
With no software to install and no modifications required to existing email
systems, installation is extremely easy, typically taking only five minutes.
Once installed, the system administrator uses an intuitive web interface for
monitoring and maintenance. The Barracuda Spam Firewall requires minimal maintenance
because its innovative design incorporates reliability into every aspect of
the product. Energize updates are automatically retrieved by the Barracuda Spam
Firewall, enabling maximum spam and
virus protection while eliminating administrative overhead. These updates are
provided by Barracuda Central, an advanced technology operations center where
engineers continuously monitor the Internet for trends in spam and virus attacks.
Affordable
The Barracuda Spam Firewall is affordable for businesses of all sizes small
or large. It has no per user license fees, making it the most affordable enterprise-class
spam and virus protection solution available.
