November 5th, 2009Hosted junk-mail-removal and/or email lets you focus on what is important.
When the volume of spam mail increases - spam mails that take a great amount of a business’ financial resources and consumes bandwidth - outsourced hosted mail server would free them frim this issue and help them refocus on core business.
You need the Internet for your daily activities both privately and professionally, but when a major part of it contains unwanted e-mails and malware, is suddenly is a factor that creates stress and frustration for the entire organisation from IT administrators to end users.
The world wide web continues to spread out and becomes available to more and more people - young and old - spam follows this spread out trend resulting in increasing time and finansial resouces spend on filtering junk mail from legitimate mails. Uderestimating the cost of removing junk e-mails is very common - people tend to believe that removing a spam e-mail just takes a couple of seconds. However, suddenly unwanted e-mails appear in huge numbers on a daily basis consuming valuable time and user’s concentration.
Unwanted e-mails do not just play the role of being annoying, they have a major side effect on the performance of an entire organisation ocuupying network and abusing bandwidth. Every single spam message increases bandwidth cost - worst case spam consumes more than 49% of your entire network.
A slow and ineffective network hits all businesses - from the large companies the have their own dedicated team taking care of IT securiry to small businesses, that has a smaller budget for online protection. Furthermore, governments at all levels - local and regional - have tried to implement legislation aimed at spammers, unfortunately this has not helped fight spam sufficiently as spammers are able to continue their criminal activities using the latest and most advanced technologies.
Spam e-mailers have formed their own underground community equipped with networks of hosted computers and innovative attack methods. A number of studies have shown that spam are draining financial resources and posting security threats to organizations by exposing their networks to malware, spyware and other malicious codes.
Such security threats stress the need to implement advanced unwanted detecting on hosted mail servers to decrease the cost of operating and protecting the internal network from collapse. Businesses can better guard themselves against online threats by hiring services of outsourced hosted servers.
Outsourcing to a hosted service offers several pros e.g. the freed time that companies regain and the fact that you no longer need to handle any technical software, hardware, integration and maintenance issues. Professional personnel monitor their systems day and night and makes sure every single unwanted mail is blocked and quarantined passing only legitimate e-mails to the the end users’ inbox.
The responsibility removing all spam before it reaches the end users is now placed at the outsourced hosted mail server, and understanding the entire process is now much easier for less technical users.
