SpamTitan, a leading producer of email security solutions, today announces its exciting new cloud computing initiative with VMware to deliver on-demand email security virtual appliances in the cloud. This makes good business sense as Anti-Spam filtering has fast become a commodity application, and commodity applications are logical expenses to outsource versus managing within ones own IT infrastructure. Businesses small and large are embracing cloud computing for inbound email filtering such as handling Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus cleansing of high volumes of incoming mail.
It ensures customers have the opportunity to use email security and anti-spam solutions in the cloud, not in the SaaS model but as their own dedicated on demand application — benefiting from the redundancy, scalability and failover associated with virtualization and cloud computing.” SpamTitan’s unique approach in utilizing next-generation virtualization software eliminates the need for unwieldy hardware, giving customers unparalleled flexibility, versatility and capability but at an affordable price. Integrating best of breed technologies, SpamTitan provides an easy to install, easy to manage and highly secure email gateway. SpamTitan, a division of CopperFasten, is a global company with headquarters in Galway, Ireland. For further information visit, www.spamtitan.com.

Users can simply click a link to automatically generate a SpamTitan virtual appliance in the cloud as well as having log on access to explore their own SpamTitan application.
The number of respondents who deployed hosted security services grew by nine percentage points since last year. Over the next 12 months hosted anti-spam services, such as those offered by Kaspersky, Trend Micro and more recently Microsoft, are also expected to show their greatest growth. At the same time, today’s economic climate favors cost-effective solutions. IT expects to spend significantly less in 2009 than in 2008 on messaging. Nearly half (47 percent) of respondents expected IT spending to be lower in 2009 versus 18 percent who made similar projections last year.
Comprehensive security solutions will be particularly hot over the next 12 months. Although the vast majority of enterprises today deal with separate vendors for their various best-of-breed solutions (71 percent), the number of respondents preferring a consolidated comprehensive centrally managed messaging security solution double while individual best of breed solutions dropped significantly (to 33 percent of respondents). While enterprise users continue to spend a large percentage of their workday involved with messaging activities, the Internet remains a dangerous place for users.
