Symantec Brightmail™ Appliance - Model 8160
Symantec Brightmail™ Traffic Shaper reduces spam volume by up to 80% by stopping spam before it reaches the network. It significantly increases bandwidth availability for legitimate email and reduces infrastructure and operation costs. Symantec offers the only appliance that shapes traffic at the TCP protocol level by prohibiting spammers from forcing mail into a protected network. This causes mail to back up on the spammers’ servers so that their infrastructure rather than yours incurs the burden of spam. It scales to meet the needs of growing businesses and can be coupled with any antispam solution, including Symantec Brightmail™ Gateway, or Brightmail Message Filter, to provide a comprehensive multi-layered approach to combat spam that is easy to deploy and manage. The solution is powered by Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network which protects over 800 million mailboxes.
