Integralis to target large enterprises with anti-virus and
anti-spam protection from Sophos.
Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses against spam and
viruses, has announced that Integralis, one of the world's leading
security systems integrators, has qualified as its first Enterprise
Certified Partner, part of Sophos's UK Partner Programme that
caters for large corporate enterprises. As well as selecting
Sophos Anti-Virus as its preferred
anti-virus solution, Integralis will be the first Sophos Enterprise
Partner to offer and support PureMessage for Unix, an integrated anti-spam
and anti-virus solution designed to suit the needs of global
organisations.
Integralis, which provides complete IT security solutions for
large corporations, has qualified to implement, configure and
provide support for Sophos's entire product range, including
PureMessage for Unix, in the UK, as well as in France, Switzerland
and Germany. PureMessage for Unix provides protection against spam
and viruses at both the e-mail gateway and at the desktop level and
has been developed for companies with multiple server environments.
Integralis, which has been offering Sophos Anti-Virus since 1997,
has upgraded this product to preferred solution status, following a
number of successful implementations.
Integralis's technical team graduated from Sophos's Enterprise
Certified Partner Programme, which provides extensive training in
the role of selling, implementing and delivering support to meet
Sophos's service level agreements (SLAs). The programme provides
members with a number of benefits, including enterprise sales
leads, significant marketing support and dedicated key account
management.
"To complement our portfolio of robust security solutions for
large corporate users, Integralis has been seeking an integrated
anti-virus and anti-spam product that is easy to both scale and
configure. The management tools in Sophos PureMessage for Unix
perfectly fit these requirements," said Graham Jones, director,
Northern Europe at Integralis. "In a trial of several vendors'
products, PureMessage proved the most effective at detecting spam.
This, coupled with Sophos's award winning virus protection, means
we are confident our customers will benefit from the best possible
security solutions."
"It's great that Integralis has achieved Sophos Enterprise
Certified Partner status. Its excellent record of providing
superior service to blue chip companies make it the ideal partner
for Sophos and this relationship will be a key factor in our future
growth plans," said Oliver Carter, UK sales manager at Sophos.
"Integralis's reputation in providing a strong level of support for
its customers is a good fit with Sophos, ensuring that our products
will be supported to a high level."
PureMessage for Unix is specifically designed to meet the
requirements of large organisations, combining Sophos's
industry-leading virus and spam protection, which filters millions
of messages per day. This unprecedented scalability, plus its
multiple-language message processing, makes PureMessage ideally
suited for organisations with multiple-server deployments.
