Trans-Innovation
Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned Malaysian company providing Information
Communications Technology solutions to SMIs locally, today
formalised its partnership with US-based Barracuda Networks,
Inc., the leading provider of enterprise-class spam firewall
solutions.
This
partnership with US-based Barracuda Networks is the first
distribution deal the company has made in South East Asia.
With the partnership, Trans-Innovation Sdn Bhd will be the
first distributor of the Barracuda Spam Firewall Family of
solutions in Malaysia.
Trans-Innovation
Business Development Director, Mr. Santhana Vasan said Trans-Innovation’s
partnership with Barracuda Networks is a strategic move that
will bring a powerful spam and virus solution to Malaysian
businesses.
"Barracuda
Networks expertise in fighting spam and viruses will be invaluable
to Trans-Innovation’s current and future customers,”
said Vasan.
“The Barracuda Spam Firewall is a powerful solution
that will help restore email to be an effective communications
tool for businesses locally and regionally. We are pleased
to add the Barracuda Spam Firewall to our arsenal of ICT solutions
for our customers."
The
Barracuda Spam Firewall is available in four models and supports
from 1,000 to 25,000 active users with no per user licensing
fees.
The
Barracuda Spam Firewall can be installed in front of the email
server in typically less than five minutes and is automatically
updated hourly to block new forms of spam and viruses. Its
architecture leverages open source spam and virus solutions
in conjunction with ten defence layers: denial of service
and security protection, IP block list, rate control, virus
check with archive decompression, proprietary virus check,
user specified rules, spam fingerprint check, intention analysis,
spam rule-based scoring, and Bayesian analysis.
The
architecture minimises the processing of each email, which
yields the performance required to process millions of messages
per day. Unlike software solutions, the Barracuda Spam Firewall
reduces the load placed on the email server by off-loading
both spam and virus filtering. Barracuda Networks also offers
the Energize Update subscription service to automatically
update the Barracuda Spam Firewall with the latest spam rules
and virus definitions.
“Partnering
with Trans-Innovation reaffirms Barracuda Networks commitment
to providing an effective and affordable spam and virus solution
to businesses worldwide,” said Mr. Dean Drako, president
and CEO of Barracuda Networks.
He
added, “We look forward to working with Trans-Innovation
to bring the Barracuda Spam Firewall to market in Malaysia."
Trans-Innovation
Sdn. Bhd., headquartered in Plaza Mont Kiara is a major player
