Variability in spam traffic forces organizations to make an awkward choice: whether to maintain peak-load messaging security capacity – and incur the associated high costs – or to prepare for routine loads, a less costly approach but one that comes with the risk of under-capacity when spam levels spike.
Now, a new approach resolves this dilemma: virtual appliance-based messaging security solutions. With hardened, ready-to-deploy appliance images and per-seat licensing, organizations can meet a spam or virus crisis quickly, efficiently, and economically. Virtual appliance messaging security offers the simplicity of an appliance solution with the flexibility of virtualization software.
