Today, Sendmail officially opened the Sentrion App Store for business. The store is a one-stop shop for applications that plug into the Sentrion Message Processor (MP) line of appliances.
The Sentrion is unique in the marketplace because it is a technology platform for implementing your email backbone that supports many different applications. Like an iPhone™, you can extend the out-of-the-box functionality with plug-in applications. This distinguishes it from other email security appliances. In fact, it makes those appliances obsolete.
Where a company may invest in one solution to clean their inbound mail stream, another for preventing data leakage, another for in-line encryption and decryption, and yet another for high volume outbound bulk emailing. The Sentrion performs all those functions and more with plug-in applications.
The applications in the Sentrion App Store are organized into five categories:
- Compliance Policy — Apps to help enterprises stay in compliance with federal, state, and international laws and ensure employees comply with corporate email policies.
- Secure Content — Apps to help enterprises protect sensitive and confidential information by automatically securing data. These apps protect businesses without relying on end-users.
- Filtering — Apps that help enterprises stop 99.9+ percent of all unwanted email from reaching end-users and prevent 80 percent of it from ever touching the email infrastructure.
- Partner — Best-of-breed apps from Sendmail’s trusted partners “plug into” the Sentrion platform, helping enterprises handle messaging requirements ranging from compliance workflow to Instant Messaging.
- Community — Hundreds of user-developed and contributed apps are available through the standard Milter interface and can be certified on Sentrion.
With the technology platform approach to the email backbone. Many Sendmail customers have been able to realize tremendous cost savings and improved service and security of the email system.
