Optenet has launched its
web-filtering,
anti-spam,
anti-virus and
firewall protection enterprise product in the UK.
Omar Aguirre, COO of Optenet, said
integrating the functions into a single product could reduce a
company's costs by 70%.
He said it would save integration,
virtual software licensing, and
virtual server maintenance costs.
Optenet reduces the number of servers needed because central,
branch and end-user policies can be set on a single instance,
deployed and managed centrally.
Omar Aguirre said enterprise users want to reduce complexity and
hardware. They also want greater independence from service
providers, Aguirre added.
He said there is a strong trend towards a hybrid model of having
core security in-house and
outsourcing anti-spam services which can easily be switched to
new providers if necessary.
