IronPort



We finally deploying IronPort and dumping our existing SMTP appliance. It was a horrible and painful experience during last 2 years to have SMTP appliance which is not Enterprise level. We found out we wasted our resources, $$$$ and made our network vulnerable to multiple treats by having wrong SMTP appliance.

The short story we are deploying IronPort, my first impression about IronPort is impressive. This appliance seems to be Rock.

Multiple SMTP domain support

  • Each appliance is capable of having multiple names and IP addresses
  • 10.000 Concurrent connections
  • AV updates every 15 minutes
  • Outbreak updates every 5 minutes
  • RDNS, A record, MX record, IP reputation, RBL list check on the SMTP handshake
  • The internal interface is great, most logical design

I will write in more details how IronPort works and how we will deploy it in true enterprise environment. We will have to go trough the migration, which seems very smooth.

Best,

Glad to hear IronPort is a rock star for you! Deploying a robust email security solution is crucial. Like choosing the right game, going enterprise-level makes a huge difference. People often underestimate email security until a crisis hits, similar to how slope unblocked seems simple at first, but requires real focus. Hope the migration goes smoothly! It's an investment in peace of mind.
