January 9, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Network management solution provider Ipswitch (ipswitch.com) announced on Monday that Rackspace Managed Hosting (rackspace.com) has selected Ipswitch's IMail Server Secure to expand its managed email server offering, which will now include anti-spam and anti-virus.
Rackspace began offering managed IMail services in 2004. The new features enable Rackspace customers to virtually eliminate spam and the mistaken marking of legitimate email messages as spam. Users can operate email in a safe and secure manner, preventing issues that can cripple a business with few dedicated IT resources.
"We needed to offer IMail to our customers in a way that was conducive to how we run our business," says Alberto Sandoval, product manager for Rackspace. "Ipswitch worked with us to design a business model where we can offer our customers dedicated email servers on a monthly basis, complete with all of the most important security features. Coupled with an easy-install and flexible license model, we have been able to deliver a feature-rich dedicated mail server that is attractively priced for our customers."
Rackspace Managed Hosting delivers enterprise-level managed services to businesses of all sizes, serving more than 10,000 customers across seven data centers worldwide.
