Highlights
Key Benefits
Challenges
There were a variety of challenges surrounding this project that Digicor had to overcome while creating a solution for SMX. SMX Cloud Email Security is a mature 'in-a-box' email security and hosting solution optimized for business users. The challenge was to ensure, that the system was capable of tackling all the features provided by SMX, given below:
- Inbound and outbound scanning of both the message body and attachments
- Highly sophisticated content control and data loss prevention features
- Encrypted email archiving
- Lower TCO
- Enables encryption in-transit
- 99.999% clean email delivery
- 100% email server availability
How We Helped
Digicor provided SMX with highly customized compute nodes for high computing power, which was gained by having multiple (8 x 2U) Server nodes for to maintain high redundancy. On top of this they were provided 3 x 2U Storage nodes. This helped SMX to attain seamless failover and 100% availability, delivered from their data centres and ISPs running an active configuration. This solution suited their needs as it was highly cost effective, was well within their budget and easy to manage. Standard commodity hardware was used and runs great with their software environment.
