IMlogic and Enabling Technologies Debut Industry's First Secure IM Management Appliance for Microsoft Live Communications Server; ETX 5000 Provides a Comprehensive, Plug-and-Play Solution for Secure Enterprise IM Management & Collaboration
Business Wire, June 6, 2005
ORLANDO, Fla. -- IMlogic Inc., the global market leader for instant messaging (IM) management software, today teamed with Enabling Technologies Corporation to unveil the ETX 5000, the industry's first secure IM management appliance for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005. The ETX 5000 is the first solution to combine a complete real-time communications platform with "best-of-breed" IM management, security, regulatory compliance, combined with integrated real-time threat protection from the IMlogic Threat Center. The solution is being debuted at Microsoft's Tech Ed conference and is available for immediate distribution.
The ETX 5000 is designed to address the increasing need for organizations to capitalize on the business benefits of instant messaging while mitigating IT security and corporate governance risk. According to research published by The Radicati Group, greater than 85% of organizations report using instant messaging in some form or another. However, many enterprise IT organizations lack the appropriate management and security tools for instant messaging and therefore are vulnerable to IM viruses, worms, SPIM, and malware attacks. Combined with the potential costly penalties from not adhering to regulatory, legal or corporate policies, many of these same organizations also require robust archiving and comprehensive supervision of instant messaging traffic. The ETX 5000 is the first out-of-the-box solution to enable organizations to immediately leverage IM and presence for real-time communications without compromising network security or compliance policies.
"Tapping the powerful features of Live Communications Server 2005 introduces technical concepts such as configuring Active Directory, firewalls, databases, and federated IM communities...tasks that not all companies are prepared to easily and cost effectively handle on their own," said Quentin Kramer, director of operations at Enabling Technologies. "We can now offer companies a fast, easy and scalable appliance that they can simply plug-in and immediately gain all the benefits of real-time communications that are safe, secure, and compliant."
The new ETX 5000 fully integrates IMlogic IM Manager(TM) with Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, offering companies a simple, scalable device for managing internal IM traffic as well as communication across AOL, MSN, and Yahoo! Public IM communities. Key benefits include:
--Rapid Deployment of a Real-Time Communications Platform: Enables organizations to immediately deploy the Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 without integration and installation resources.
--Real-Time Threat Protection and Security: Protection from IM viruses, worms, malware, and SPIM, leveraging IMlogic IM Manager's automatic threat protection, anti-virus scanning, and real-time security policy enforcement.
--Immediate Compliance with Industry Regulations: Complete IM archiving, auditing, and supervisory capabilities to satisfy industry regulatory requirements for electronic messaging and records retention.
--Complete Management, Configuration, and Support Services: Delivered as a 1U rack-mounted appliance, the solution is pre-configured by Enabling Technologies and backed by world-class global support and services.
"Enterprises are rapidly looking to deploy the Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 with the best-of-breed management, security, and compliance offered by IMlogic IM Manager," said Jon Sakoda, CTO and Co-Founder, IMlogic, Inc. "The ETX 5000 removes all of the traditional deployment barriers to ensure that companies can embrace IM as a real-time communications platform."
The ETX 5000 is available immediately from Enabling Technologies with pricing based on configuration and service options.
