Mirapoint’s unique appliance model simplifies the task of building and maintaining a Secure Messaging Infrastructure™ that can meet the new messaging needs of the enterprise. Mirapoint’s appliances deliver bullet-proof security and superior performance with ‘five-nines’ reliability, while dramatically reducing the cost of enterprise messaging.

Solid Foundation for a Secure Messaging Infrastructure
The Mirapoint Message Server is a solid foundation for a secure messaging infrastructure, providing a standards-based platform that intelligently serves, secures and manages messages with multi-mode client access. Mirapoint appliances offer the industry’s best price-performance and the scalability to handle the most demanding messaging environments. The Message Server appliance includes advanced features such as group scheduling, calendaring and address book. For large, multi-tier deployments, the Message Server easily and seamlessly integrates with the RazorGate® appliance. The Message Server 5-series’ terabytes of storage equate to millions of saved messages and appointments. These new features in a smaller footprint enable enterprise organizations to keep pace with ever-expanding messaging requirements.

Valuable Forensics/Reporting Tool
Enterprises have struggled to harness the overwhelming amounts of data from several edge email security devices, forcing them to manually aggregate and analyze security data contained in multiple spreadsheets and logs. With Mirapoint’s Messaging Reporter™ (MMR), this manual process is centralized and automated, taking seconds instead of days to generate an overall report of what the edge security devices are doing – including edge firewall, and email security devices as well as mail servers – allowing administrators to mine data from any given period of time for up to ten years. MMR’s forensic capabilities trace messages quickly and effectively. MMR can identify, search for, and gather messages based on their characteristics - date, sender, recipient, or subject, in response to audit or discovery requests. It also traces the path and disposition of any message. The Messaging Reporter provides true visibility into email traffic and security trends, allowing administrators to more effectively plan and allocate resources.

“Security products have continued to evolve rapidly in the past few years and advanced technologies like Mirapoint’s Message Server and Messaging Reporter are now making it possible to take a pro-active approach to most security scenarios,” said Rake Narang, managing editor of Info Security Products Guide. “End-users or consumers of these products have to deal with real-live threats which may differ vastly from lab simulated environments. These users build a strong ‘Customer Trust’ for products that best meet their requirements and therefore also play a key role in the security evolution cycle.”
