Business Wire
Tumbleweed(R) Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:TMWD), a leading
provider of email security, managed file transfer, and identity
validation appliance and software products, today unveiled its new
high-performance MailGate(R) 6500 email security appliance. This
advanced appliance can process over one million messages per hour,
and offers a comprehensive solution for policy-based email
security. The MailGate Appliance(TM) 6500 sets new standards for
performance, enterprise scalability, and ease-of-use, allowing
companies to lower costs by consolidating on fewer appliances and
security point-solutions. "Organizations are increasingly moving
towards consolidating on fewer products that provide more
comprehensive security," said Brian Burke, Research Manager for
IDC. "A challenge facing today's enterprise-class organizations is
finding an appliance that provides high performance, scalability
and reduces the cost of ownership. Vendors that can effectively
address the changing security needs of today's enterprise
organizations will be best positioned to lead the market." Many
organizations are shifting to all-in-one security appliances to
address their needs for lower costs, higher performance, easier
deployment, tighter security and greater scalability. The MailGate
Appliance 6500 features dual multi-core 2.4 Ghz Opteron processors
with internal redundancy, hot-swappable disk drives and power
supplies, and over 1.5 terabytes of storage capacity. This new
appliance includes Tumbleweed's unique front panel LCD and easy
configuration controls, which enable rapid network setup, display
status information, and allow appliance reset with no external
cabling or monitors. The Tumbleweed MailGate Appliance 6500
delivers additional integrated features that include: -- Virus
Outbreak Protection providing zero-hour defense against new virus
attacks -- Advanced anti-spam eliminating over 99% of unwanted mail
with virtually no false positives (0% false positives according to
the VeriTest Anti-Spam Benchmark Service, Fall 2005) -- Processing
power of more than 1 million messages per hour -- Bi-directional
content inspection with advanced and intuitive policy controls --
Enterprise-class scalability with clustering between data centers,
per-domain routing and replicated policy configuration -- Advanced
rules-based TLS encryption providing policy-based secure message
delivery -- Multi-language support for end-user spam management
controls "Our customers include many of the largest organizations
in the world. They have rigorous performance and security demands,
and we've focused on delivering solutions that scale to meet their
increasing needs," said James Guthrie, Executive Vice President of
Products for Tumbleweed. "The MailGate Appliance 6500 is the
culmination of our years of enterprise security experience blended
with a state-of-the-art platform that provides the highest possible
power, flexibility, and manageability." About the Tumbleweed
