McAfee, a division of Network Associates, has announced that its award-winning McAfee GroupShield solution for Microsoft Exchange has received IBM ServerProven validation.

"Today`s e-business customers demand powerful tools that ensure Internet security and virus protection, and the IBM ServerProven program provides businesses with the hardware, software, middleware and applications like McAfee`s GroupShield Exchange that can be implemented and deployed with confidence," says Nancy Williams, Director, PartnerWorld for Developers, IBM eServer xSeries servers.

"IBM ServerProven validation of the McAfee GroupShield products gives our mutual customers added piece-of-mind that they are receiving a reliable, proven groupware anti-virus solution for their small business or large enterprise."

Says Christopher Bray, Network Associates country manager in SA: "The IBM ServerProven validation awarded to the McAfee GroupShield product for Exchange further affirms McAfee`s position in delivering world-class anti-virus solutions to enterprise customers worldwide. Our anti-virus solution protects customers with advanced heuristic scanning technology that can detect previously unknown virus threats and malicious code."

IBM ServerProven is a program for software developers who want to provide their customers with complete, reliable business solutions. ServerProven membership requires developers to test their software on IBM servers preloaded with non-IBM hardware devices, operating systems and middleware such as databases and systems management software and popular applications. Once the software is installed, tested and validated to perform smoothly, developers can market their solution as IBM ServerProven and can participate in ServerProven Plus offerings that focus on solution optimisation, maximum performance and high availability.

"ServerProven membership gives customers the confidence of getting a solution that`s easy to install, ready to run and built to perform optimally," says Bray.
