Irides introduces two new mail features

In a year in which Irides has launched new product lines and retooled its existing products, Irides announced this week a new e-mail messaging and spam filtering solution available to businesses and individuals on a per user basis.

The Irides Exchange Service includes all of the popular features of Microsoft Exchange. Users’ mail is filtered through patented perimeter technology by Postini, an industry leader in spam solutions. The Irides Exchange Service is protected by multiple layers of security precautions and intrusion detection, and requires SSL-encrypted client connections. Data is stored on RAID arrays and is backed up daily with a network backup service.

Front-line virus protection from Postini allows users to create white lists and block lists, set sensitivity levels, view quarantined spam, and manage their preferences with convenient web interfaces. The Exchange Service allows users to benefit from functionality including shared calendars, task lists, and file storage on 1 GB plans.
“Our customers have continued to express the need for more tools to secure and screen their email, and a need for the tools and features of Exchange without wanting to administer their own Exchange Server,” Irides COO Dan Kunitz said in a statement. “Irides’ strength continues to be managed hosting solutions like this and we are excited to introduce a reliable, affordable, and secure Exchange solution combined with a comprehensive plan to secure and screen emails for spam and viruses.”

Irides is a leader in managed web hosting and has implemented many spam solutions for thousands of clients. Located in the Northern Virginia Technology Corridor, Irides boasts a Class A Data Center and unparalleled 24/7 technical support.
