E-mail solution for corporates enables fast-moving business

According to a survey by Meta Group, 80% of businesspeople prefer e-mail communication. So hang up the phone, stop scheduling meetings, and implement Tiscali`s NetIntegrator, an industrial-strength e-mail, Internet security and connection sharing solution developed specifically for the needs of today`s fast-moving businesses.

NetIntegrator offers a reliable, highly scalable mail platform without the costly licence fees of other messaging platforms, and performs all e-mail, network security and administration functions required for a reliable Internet-based communications solution.

The product features a reliable mail platform that supports multiple mail domains, as well as Internet connection sharing, which means that multiple computers are allowed to simultaneously access the Internet with one single connection allowing your entire LAN or WAN access to the Internet. The benefits are that it protects your network behind a robust firewall and it selectively enable users to access Internet services and resources.

NetIntergrator includes a powerful Web proxy which accelerates Web browsing by caching frequently viewed pages. The proxy includes a content filtering engine that allows clients to control employee Web browsing, increasing productivity and limiting legal liability.

In terms of security, NetIntegrator features firewall software, which offers high security and granular access to and from your network. It also offers a complete e-mail virus protection system, which includes both spam and content filtering. In addition, router access lists and static routes can be configured on the onboard router to isolate network segments for both Internet and interdepartmental security.

The product also offers a full range of network monitoring and management facilities, including a 24-hour helpdesk, fault monitoring services, network problem identification, performance monitoring and analysis.

NetIntegrator is mainly targeted at small to medium-sized businesses that are fast growing out of multiple dial-up connections, and companies that are considering implementing a mail server or have found the cost and maintenance factor of running their own mail server too intensive. It can be connected using ISDN, ADSL, leased-lines and can even be integrated into a VPN.

Says Larry Paslovsky, General Manager of Business Services at Tiscali: "Studies have determined that e-mail best suits a changing business climate characterised by geographically distributed workgroups, extreme mobility, the need for rapid information dissemination, and a desire for reusable business records. I believe that NetIntegrator offers the solution to all these challenges, in the most cost-effective way."
