Never Lose Another Email Message

The mBlade Takes Email Security to the Next Level

Montreal, March 17th, 2009 – This year Vircom Inc., marks 15 years as a global leader of email security solutions and also announces the release one of the most powerful and scalable appliance in today’s market.
The mBlade is specially designed to support high traffic and complex network environments, making it an excellent fit for the Enterprise and Service Provider markets across all verticals.
Spam and malicious email continues to grow worldwide.  With today’s economic conditions causing more end-users to fall prey to financial fraud and with the increased sophistication of malware attacks, the risk for data loss and compromised security is at record levels.  As a result, email has become more costly to manage, particularly for complex, information-driven organizations.
Jean-Marc Robillard, Director of Product Management, addresses the most important concerns large enterprises face today.
“When we introduced the mBlade, it was to solve specific issues caused by email-borne threats. It seems that there were some needs not being met in the large enterprise and service provider space” said Robillard. “The mBlade not only addresses the growing concern of securing data and ensuring business continuity, but our content management technology is extremely flexible,
and can be customized based on business policy and legislative directives”
mBlade appliance maintains Vircom’s reputation for having the industry’s leading catch-rate and lowest false positive incidents, and provides categorized quarantine reports to organize potential threats so that you are guaranteed to never lose any email. 
The platform is optimized for message processing speeds almost double those of the competitors, all the while securing a leading ROHS rating for energy efficiency. “This just proves that you can provide performance and still be recognized for green IT standards and practices” continued Mr. Robillard.
Like all Vircom’s technology, integration with the Microsoft® remains a key differentiator, with storage, user profiles, and back-up/recovery all managed through a single interface. 
mBlade also offers a first-class set of solution options including installation, configuration, and premium consulting services for disaster recovery and business continuity.
Also excited about the expansion of our product line and offering is Patrick Thibault, Director of Customer Service at Vircom.
“We also feel that with our value-added services suite, including our unique PlatinumPlus proactive network monitoring, we provide a complete solution that supports the stringent requirements of larger, more complex organizations.”
