NetXactics, the Southern African distributor for Sophos Anti Virus, a world leader in corporate anti-virus protection, today announced that the University of the Western Cape had chosen its flagship product, Sophos Anti-Virus, to defend the University`s servers and workstations from the over 74,000 computer viruses, Trojans and worms that exist at present.
The University of the Western Cape chose Sophos Anti-Virus after an extensive evaluation of the many anti-virus solutions available in the market, since it was found to best meet its needs.
"With our 5000 users and dual Microsoft and Novell server platforms, we needed a product that operated and updated seamlessly across all our platforms", commented Anver Natha, Network Services Manager, at the UWC."
"The product is simple to implement on multiple platforms, no unnecessary bells and whistles that make other products an administrative energy waster," continued Ian Stamp, UWC`s System Engineer. "The support both product and technical is of a high level, different class to any other virus product that I have used."
"We are delighted the University of the Western Cape has joined the long list of companies, organisations and educational establishments to have selected Sophos Anti-Virus to protect their systems from malware attack," added Brett Myroff, CEO of NetXactics. "The students of today will be the managers and decision-makers of tomorrow, so it is especially important to us that they are familiar with the world-beating solutions available from Sophos."
Sophos Anti-Virus has a strong record of protecting against the latest viruses and is regularly verified for its detection capabilities by independent testing bodies such as those from the ICSA, West Coast Labs and AV-Test.Org.
