To all Sendmail customers who could not attend this year–we’re sorry that you missed this year’s annual International Messaging Infrastructure Summit held in Washington DC on election week. You missed out on some excellent discussions ranging from cloud email to managing machine-generated mail with the new Sentrion REAC product.
I wanted to recap some of the great material that was presented and to also encourage Sendmail customers to contact your local Sendmail Sales Manager or Systems Engineer to have them give you your own “guided tour” of the presentations. For Sendmail propsective customers, send us an email at info(AT)sendmail.com and request a tour of the presentations.
Sentrion Rogue Email Application Control (REAC)
All conference participants were automatically eligible to become part of the early adopter program for the new Sentrion REAC product that was announced and discussed in detail at the Summit:
“It’s become a matter of man vs. machine as enterprises begin contending with the growing security and compliance risks presented by the uncontrolled high volume of email messages being generated by applications inside enterprise walls,” said Sendmail President & CEO Glen D. Vondrick. “Left unchecked, these machine-generated emails can result in the complete shut-down of IT networks at any time, though the potential for mayhem is at its highest during email-to-cloud migrations.”
Sentrion REAC product manager, Christiaan van Woudenberg, spent a lot of time introducing the new Sentrion REAC product to the audience and also gave an in-depth demonstration on how the product works.
Contact your Sendmail Sales Manager today to learn more about Sentrion REAC and the early adopter program and read the full news release here.
Customer Spotlight Presentation – EMC
Cathal O’Mahony, Director of Global Messaging with EMC gave a fantastic case study presentation of their history of relying on Sendmail technology and expertise. EMC started with Sendmail back in 2007 and evolved from open source, Sendmail software, Sentrion hard appliances (MP), Sentrion virtual appliances (MPV) to now using a Sentrion-based private cloud solution.
Cathal was also presented this year’s Sentrion Innovation Award. Congratulations to Cathal and his entire messaging team at EMC!
Sendmail Presentation on Sentrion in the Cloud
Sendmail’s VP of Cloud Enablement and CTO, Greg Shapiro, spent some time telling the audience about some exciting upcoming Sentrion Cloud offerings.
This is another don’t miss presentation–contact your sales team to learn more.
Customer and Partner Presentations
We also had an excellent presentation from Sentrion customer Rakuten (the “Amazon.com” of Japan), as well as a presentation from Sendmail private cloud partner CSC.
Industry Presentation:
Michael Osterman, of Osterman Research, did an excellent presentation recapping an extensive survey they conducted on moving email to the cloud. A couple of key points from this presentation:
“Large and heavily regulated organizations will likely never adopt cloud email to the same extent as smaller and less regulated ones”
“Email-generating applications and systems serve as something of an “anchor” that restricts migration to the cloud
Customer Panel
We ended the regular session on the first day with a very lively panel discussion lead by Michael Osterman. The group then adjourned for the Partner Fair and a fun dinner at a nearby Cuban Restaurant and Rum Bar.
Thanks to our Partner Fair Sponsors: Commtouch, Cloudmark, CSC, Hitachi, Rpost, and Trustsphere.
Finally on Friday there were in-depth presentations on Sentrion REAC as well as an extensive presentation of the Sentrion product roadmap – Past, Present and Future.
I encourage you to contact your local sales team to bring the Sendmail International Messaging Infrastructure Summit directly to you. They have access to all the presentations and material and would be happy to walk through them with you.
We hope to see you at next year’s event.
