Thousands of Customers Protected From Phishing, Spam, and Other Message Driven Threats
Jul. 6, 2011 (Marketwire) --
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/06/11 -- EdgeWave Inc. (OTCBB: EWVE) (OTCQB: EWVE), a leader in Secure Content Management (SCM) solutions, today announced that Walnut Communications, a leading network and telecommunications provider, has selected EdgeWave's Email Security to protect customers from spam, phishing and viruses. By using EdgeWave Email Security, Walnut Communications will now provide its hosted email customers with one of the industry's most scalable, reliable and accurate messaging security solutions.
Based in Walnut, Iowa, Walnut Communications proudly serves thousands of residents and businesses with a variety of telecommunications services. Their previous email security provider had become unreliable, no longer sending quarantine reports and losing legitimate emails in their filter. In addition to being time and resource intensive for the staff at Walnut Communications, this created potential risk to their customers.
In addition, Walnut Communications' email server was handling all of the filtering and quarantine on one server. The excessive workload had overwhelmed the server to the point where it was barely functioning, which impacted performance and overall quality of service to Walnut Communications' customers. In an ongoing effort to provide customers with the optimum email experience, Walnut Communications sought a more reliable email security solution that could provide best-in-class technology, demonstrate measureable value, and increase performance by taking the load off of its email server. After evaluating the leading vendors, Walnut Communications selected EdgeWave Email Security to provide effective and efficient protection for their users.
"The EdgeWave Email Security solution works wonderfully, and because of it our email server can work as it is meant to," said Terry McCarthy, Electronics Tech at Walnut Communications. "Before EdgeWave Email Security, our server was being slammed by spam and could not keep up with filtering the deluge. Now the EdgeWave solution is quarantining the messages before they get to the server. That fact alone saved us from purchasing a new server. I was very surprised at how easy the service was to setup also. The entire process from power up of the appliance to finishing the rerouting of the email only took a few hours, and that included branding everything with our company logo. I especially love the fact that it is very 'hands off' for me. Since the initial turn up I have made no changes to it at all. Most importantly, EdgeWave helped us deliver our customers quality services at an affordable price.
