Why Bytes and Symantec Hosted Services?

The managed service advantage

MessageLabs delivers this world leading level of service effectiveness by drawing on the scale of a managed service model and the intelligence drawn from the billions of messages and millions of threats processed through their network every day. This intelligence is fed in ‘real time’ to the proprietary and patented SkepticTM technology to form the most comprehensive and up to date knowledge base of Internet threats in the world.

A unique view of online threats around the world

With services across multiple communication channels – email, IM and web, MessageLabs has introduced an industry first ‘Converged Threat Analysis’, taking recent threat and reputation information from one protocol, such as email, and applying that knowledge to another protocol, such as web traffic, providing an unparalleled level of knowledge and protection for MessageLabs clients across the world.

Are you at a cross roads with email archiving? 

Symantec Hosted Services already takes care of email and web security for smart growing businesses. Now they have launched a NEW Hosted Email Archiving Service.

Email Archiving - a proven solution for your corporate and compliance requirements for all businesses running an Exchange Server.

Most IT Managers agree that email records are vital to their business, but many have yet to deploy an effective email archiving solution. Companies need to keep secure copies of their email for compliance or legal reasons, or simply to preserve the corporate IP stored in them. It can be a challenge to find a solution that meets these requirements and is also easy for users to find and retrieve their own email.

MessageLabs Hosted Email Archiving automatically stores every email to, from and within a business. As it is a hosted solution there is no need to buy, install or maintain on-site hardware or software. System complexity and upfront capital costs are replaced by predictable monthly fees and straight forward management.
