SpamTitan, maker of e-mail security solutions, has announced a new cloud computing initiative with VMware, a virtualization solutions provider. The partnership is providing on-demand e-mail security virtual appliances in the cloud.
†
Called App on Demand, the software helps customers hunt down a potential solution and experience the virtual cloud computing in action. It is available through through VMware’s Virtual Appliance Marketplace.
†
SpamTitan for VMware is a complete operating system and virtual e-mail security software suite designed to run on Vmware. It enables use on any server irrespective of the operating system.
†
Cloud computing for inbound e-mail filtering–such as handling anti-spam and anti-virus cleansing–has become increasing popular among many SMBs. It is for this reason, according to a SpamTitan press release, that it saw the value of marrying virtual appliances with advanced cloud computing technology.
†
App on Demand will ensure, says SpamTitan CEO Ronan Kavanagh, that “customers have the opportunity to use e-mail security and anti-spam solutions in the cloud–not in the SaaS model, but as their own dedicated on-demand application.”
†
The SpamTitan-VMware product benefits from the “redundancy, scalability and failover associated with virtualization and cloud computing,” says Kavanagh. He also cites costs savings and “increased IT control and service-level automation” as added benefits.
†
The drivers behind the uptake of cloud computing, Kavanagh says, “won’t change in 2009, especially with cost and environmental savings being the key motivators.”
†
Kavanagh calls cloud computing the “next-generation deployment phase for SpamTitan solutions.” He says it will enable SpamTitan to “offer even more flexibility, increased efficiency and lower costs.”
