IronPort C3560D Email Security Appliance

Overview:

The IronPort C360D email security appliance is the specialized IronPort C-Series product, optimized to meet the unique requirements of email transaction confirmations, investor updates, and marketing newsletters. With the latest in email sender authentication technology, the IronPort C360D ensures timely and efficient communications with customers while allowing enterprises to manage and protect their corporate identities on the Internet.

The IronPort C360D has been designed to lower the costs of managing high volume mail delivery. The user interfaces have been designed with high usability standards and refined based on administrator feedback. Powerful enterprise monitoring integration and custom alerting truly makes the systems “set-and-forget” allowing administrators to focus on priorities other than mail delivery.

IronPort built its email security appliance line from the ground up to deliver on the performance requirements of today. A single IronPort C360D can replace up to ten traditional servers running software like sendmail, postfix, or qmail. In addition, massive connection concurrency allows fast mail to bypass slow mail and ensure prompt mail delivery.

Features:

The IronPort C360D is purpose-built to meet the outbound communication needs of enterprises by providing a powerful multi-layered approach with unique features and integrated technology.

Ensure Messages Get Delivered

Sender authentication technology support is one of the most unique features provided by the IronPort C360D. Phishing threats are causing ISPs to rapidly adopt new technologies to establish the true identity of email senders and protect their user base. Every IronPort C360D contains DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and DomainKeys verification and signing technology to digitally sign each outgoing message and establish your identity with receivers on the Internet.

Virtual Gateway technology intelligently segregates email traffic across different IP addresses to maintain consistent reputation across all outbound communications. This solution ensures that marketing mail gets one IP address, and transactions get another— protecting the reputation of both.

Delivery control allows you to fine tune the maximum number of connections and rate of message delivery to each domain, ensuring responsible interaction with receiving servers. Additionally, IronPort’s unique Global Unsubscribe feature ensures that specified users and domains will never receive messages from the IronPort C360D, enabling compliance with regulations like CAN-SPAM. Optional anti-virus scanning is also available.

Enterprise Management Tools

Centralized Management eliminates a single point of failure with superior “peer to peer” architecture and makes managing multi-box installations of IronPort email security appliances simple. The ability to manage configuration at multiple levels allows organizations to manage globally while complying with local policies.

Unique real-time reporting provides an intuitive Web UI and allows campaigns to be monitored in real time to resolve any delivery issues, delegate responsibility, and enable different departments to monitor delivery status from their own set of IPs.

Benefits:

Integrated Control The IronPort C360D shares the management and reporting tools of all IronPort C-Series appliances; so one IT team can manage and report on the entire corporate email system.

Unrivaled Throughput The IronPort C360D can deliver critical mail more than an order of magnitude faster than most traditional mail transport agents. The solution enables you to immediately reduce your operating costs by replacing racks of traditional servers with IronPort C360D appliances, which can deliver up to 800,000 messages per hour.

Bypass Slow Mail AsyncOS, IronPort’s proprietary operating system, supports up to 10,000 simultaneous connections and up to as many message queues. These per-domain destination queues ensure that slow connections will not hold up fast mail, and that upholding customer service SLAs will be simple.

High Availability The IronPort C360D utilizes redundant hardware components to achieve business critical availability. A RAID subsystem and hot-plug power supplies define hardware availability. Secure protocols for message delivery and administrator access ensure the security of your communications and network.

Reduced TCO The IronPort MTA platform enables massive reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by consolidating multiple technologies onto a single platform. The IronPort solution uses self-managing security services to provide the lowest maintenance solution in the industry with minimal configuration requirements.
