Hybrid email hosting versus Kerio Connect

In this economy companies are looking for ways to get “more bang for the buck”. That is to say, leverage as much as they can, for every dollar spent. This is especially true of companies that have chosen a Hybrid Email hosting account for their domain.

The benefits, of using an email hosting service, are no cost of ownership for the hardware, software and ongoing maintenance needed to implement and maintain an on-premises email server. Conversely, the cost of using an email hosting account is fixed and paid in monthly, quarterly, semi annual or annual increments. You pay for the service and the provider does everything else, from ensuring resiliency and redundancy, to keeping systems and software up to date, to filtering out any spam and virus.

Kerio Connect 7.1 is now available – SO WHAT’S NEW?

A pretty major improvement on mobile connectivity options – Kerio Connector for BlackBerry is installed on the same server as BES. This provides over-the-air syncing of mail, contacts, calendars, and tasks between Kerio Connect and the native clients on Blackberry devices.

Sophos which is a new, high-performance anti-virus and anti-malware scan engine, is the offered A/V in Connect 7.1.

Microsoft Outlook 2010 is now also supported.

These are just a few of the key updates we’ve made to Kerio Connect.

Kerio Control, the ESXi-est firewall on the planet

One of the unique things about Kerio Control is that since it is a software firewall, it can be deployed in a virtual environment, which is something I can't do with appliance based firewalls. But the coolest part is now that it is available in OVF format, it is now easier than ever to import into my existing Vmware environment. It isn’t necessary to download anything, just copy the URL and paste it into the vSphere client.

Introducing Kerio Control 7

On June 1, 2010, Kerio Technologies introduced Kerio Control 7, the latest evolution of Kerio’s gateway security product line. Kerio Control 7 ships with a new IDS/IPS service and is the most flexible version of the product ever – allowing customers to choose between running their UTM as a Windows server product, as a hardened Linux software appliance, or as a VMware virtual appliance.

Kerio unveils new anti-virus partner, Sophos

Technology partnerships are key to delivering high quality, competitive products and services, and this is especially true in the information security industry. Expertise in a given area is developed over years at great expense, and it often makes more sense to acquire proven technology rather than try to build it. Such is the case with anti-virus, a critical component of Unified Threat Management solutions.

Kerio StaR: Does the Internet seem slow today?

If you're a network administrator, probably you've heard this question at some point in your career, if not every other day. With so much multimedia and content available on the web today, it's really easy for a user to tie up your network. Recently on our network here in San Jose we had to lay down some rules, the hard way.
