Cutting-Edge RazorGate 100 & RazorGate 300 Appliances

Provide Industrial-Strength Security Protection at the

Network Edge to Stop Spam, Viruses, Hacker Attacks & More

Building on its reputation as a customer-proven provider of airtight email security solutions, Mirapoint today announced the RazorGate(TM) appliances -- a new suite of email security solutions optimized to stop spam, viruses, hacker attacks, and other security threats that jeopardize today's mission-critical message networks. Deployed at the edge of a customer's network, the purpose-built RazorGate 100 and RazorGate 300 appliances are ideal email security solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses or for highly distributed organizations, and are designed to work with any existing email server. Oriented for sale through Mirapoint's reseller partners, the RazorGate solutions are faster to deploy, provide more complete protection, and offer lower total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared with competitive security products; including non-integrated "piece-meal" alternatives sourced from multiple vendors or inflexible filtering services provided by a hosting provider with limited customization and poor return on investment (ROI).

Mirapoint's RazorGate appliances offer the industry's best and most complete email security protection available in convenient, easy-to-deploy form factors. Both RazorGate appliances employ Mirapoint's industry-recognized Full-Spectrum(TM) technology, which boasts the industry's "best accuracy for spam catch-rates with zero false positives" based on independent analysis by a leading trade magazine. Powerful, industry-leading anti-virus technology is also available pre-integrated with all RazorGate appliances, as well as additional security capabilities for advanced content filtering, policy enforcement, intrusion detection, and SMTP connection management.

To meet the strong market demand for email security solutions, Mirapoint has partnered with over 50 worldwide resellers, including Paragon Systems, Secure Content Solutions, Newman Group, Intrinsic Networks, EZ Web Communications, Care Factor, KERNEL Networks, Drachenfels GmbH, and Inuit. Mirapoint will work with these and other channel partners to promote the RazorGate product family.
