Data102 Implements Roaring Penguin's CanIt Anti-Spam Solution

Data102 will be using Roaring Penguin’s CanIt anti-spam solution. The solution requires minimum administration, is easy to implement and serves as an optimum e-mail filter. Roaring Penguin is an e-mail filtering specialist.

As a reliable public provider of colocation services and bandwidth in Colorado, Data 102 serves the colocation needs of thousands of customers in the United States via its two SSAE16 compliant datacenters. Data102 is also equipped to maintain 99.99 percent uptime.

Data102 delivers managed service options to its data center customers. Customers include small and medium sized businesses as well as residential customers. Data102’s partner company Simpleworks is a full service MSP that offers 24/7 tech support to VoIP services. Simpleworks also uses CanIt-Domain-PRO.

Before using the Roaring Penguin solution, Data102 employed an internally fabricated platform to block spam. But with a fast growing business Data 102 required a better solution that has been developed especially for commercial use.

The Roaring Penguin’s CanIt-Domain-PRO antispam solution was implemented internally and externally at the same time at Data 102. The after-sale customer support offered by Roaring Penguin allows Data102 to expand the application of CanIt-Domain-PRO.

Data 102 will be going beyond the planned two-server installation and go for a six-server system along with a dedicated outbound E-mail scanner and redundant databases. The upgrade can be done live without any disruption in production, said officials.

CanIt has been successful in eliminating spam-related support tickets even when processing 130k to 160k e-mails per day. It is also expected that greater capacities can be processed without any spam by using the Roaring Penguin CanIt anti-spam solution.

Roaring Penguin offers intelligent, cost-effective solutions to Web Hosts, ISPs, enterprises, and campuses. The company’s other mail-filtering and networking products include MIMEDefang e-mail inspection software and CanIt enterprise anti-spam solutions.

Recently Roaring Penguin Software Inc. announced the release CanIt 9.0.1 with new features like Boolean logic. This feature has been added to Compound Rules and Archiving Rules to allow administrators to take action in complex situations. For instance, this allows administrators to design a rule that prevents archiving of messages that have very little archival value.
