Why are leading Global 1000 businesses turning to Sendmail to virtualize their SMTP messaging backbone?
A virtualized messaging backbone infrastructure greatly reduces costs and increases flexibility by:
- Reducing energy consumption by up to 60 percent
- Increasing server utilization rates
- Removing redundancy and consolidating servers
- Reducing the time it takes to provision new email server configurations
Case In Point:
A large customer from the federal government with complex SMTP messaging needs had two challenges. First, it needed to reduce its data center's overall power consumption. Second, because the data center had limited space, it needed to reduce the total number of servers to free up rack space.
The Solution:
Sendmail provided a combination of hard appliances (Sentrion MP) and virtual appliances (Sentrion MPV) that enabled the agency to reduce power consumption, rack space and heat dissipation (which affects power consumption) by nearly 60 percent and the total number of servers by 20 percent.
The agency is also using Sentrion MPV to test new server configurations, product features and new releases before putting them into production, thereby insuring that their system is always at or near the desired state of the available technology.
How the ROI was Achieved:
- Significant reduction in power costs
- Reduction in costs for physical servers
- Less server licenses
- Less support
- Less maintenance
- Less administrative overhead
- Improved anti-spam catch rates with Sendmail Enterprise Anti-Spam and IP Reputation applications
- Reduced overall number of servers required to fight spam and other malware
- Significantly reduced storage requirements for spam quarantine
Five of the world's leading financial services firms are using Sentrion in their SMTP messaging infrastructure. Also see how Miele, a leading manufacturer of household appliances, modernized their SMTP backbone with Sentrion Appliances.
