VMware today announced an expansion of its VMware Ready™ Program to include mail security solutions for Zimbra, furthering the company’s commitment to offer customers secure email solutions. Customers using VMware Ready products can now easily extend the Zimbra solution with a virtual appliance mail security solution from SpamTitan Technologies.
The VMware Ready Mail Security Program helps customers identify complementary email security solutions for the Zimbra platform to provide better functionality, more choice and reduced integration costs for partner mail security products. By pre-qualifying products that meet VMware criteria for compatibility, robustness and interoperability with the Zimbra platform, the VMware Ready Mail Security Program, enables customers to take advantage of a diverse ecosystem of pre-validated security solutions. This reduces both the risk and the complexity of implementing sophisticated mail and security systems, ultimately empowering the cloud-capable enterprise with a faster, easier and less disruptive solution.
According to Ronan Kavanagh, SpamTitan Technologies CEO, “As an email security vendor we are seeing a lot of interest in the Zimbra platform from VMware. We are delighted to be able to offer Zimbra customers all the benefits that SpamTitan has to offer including our unique approach in utilising next-generation virtualisation software which eliminates the need for unwieldy hardware, giving customers unparalleled flexibility, versatility and capability but at an affordable price.
