Reduce Junk Mail and Increase Performance

September 30th, 2009 Keystone IT

Since “junk” email (a.k.a. spam) volume now accounts for about 95% of all email in the USA, it’s important to have a powerful defense against these unwanted emails. Spam messages not only waste the time spent daily deleting them, but they can also contain system-damaging viruses.  These viruses then require increased support costs and cause unnecessary headaches.

To combat this problem, we have been researching and testing email filtering solutions. We recently chose MX Logic to be our email filtering partner. Through this partnership, we can now offer their industry leading solutions to our clients for their onsite email servers, and we use it for our hosted email service.

An important side benefit is that if you have your own email server, the MX Logic service stops spam from ever hitting your email server. This reduces the load on your server and increases the available bandwidth from your internet connection. In addition, it can eliminate workstation performance issues related to overloaded email client spam filters and workstation virus protection programs.

Give us a call to find out how we can start eliminating the spam and put your focus back on what is important for your business.

We are now a reseller for VMWare. This software allows us to use one computer to perform multiple “server” functions. This powerful software is the future of computing in businesses. Since one computer can do the server functions of many physical computers, you can save on electricity to run the machines as well as lower cooling costs. Backups and hardware upgrades become far simpler. This is the “Green” way to go! In addition, VMWare allows us to remotely manage the serving functions very easily and quickly. A great solution for most small businesses.
