BlueTie Announces Partnership With Cloudmark Inc.
Partnership will ensure the protection of 1.6Million BlueTie User Mailboxes
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (March 9, 2010) -- BlueTie, a leader in email and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) collaboration, recently announced their partnership with the global leader in carrier-grade messaging security; Cloudmark, Inc. Cloudmark will protect BlueTie's 1.6 million users from spam, phishing and viruses through the use of Cloudmark Gateway, a high-performance edge mail transfer agent (MTA). BlueTie's hosted email customers will receive the industry's fastest, most flexible and most accurate messaging anti-abuse solution.
BlueTie differentiates their business offering by providing email and collaboration in the cloud, which eliminates the need for clients to purchase their own expensive server equipment. Recently, BlueTie identified a need for a more accurate threat detection solution for their email users. Cloudmark provides efficient protection by minimizing the risk of spam, phishing and viruses reaching BlueTie users mailboxes.
"It is important for our customers to know their private or business email and collaboration information is protected," said David Koretz, BlueTie Founder and CEO. "The business world today is incredibly fast-paced, having email delays or high volumes of spam are not options for our clients. Cloudmark has not only helped us to guarantee client satisfaction, the Cloudmark solution has also reduced our hardware and operational cost."
Cloudmark stops abusive email traffic such as spam at the perimeter of the BlueTie environment, dramatically reducing the impact on BlueTie"s messaging infrastructure. "Leading hosted business email providers like BlueTie recognize secure, efficient messaging as a key differentiator in the marketplace and a necessity for the customers who rely on them as an integral component of their operations," said Jamie de Guerre, CTO at Cloudmark.
The partnership with Cloudmark allows BlueTie to deliver improved quality of service to their clients.
