Protect, Support & Boost your Microsoft Exchange Server with Sendio

Email is, without question, the lifeblood of business communication and the foundational way people work and collaborate. Microsoft Exchange Server is the cornerstone application used by more businesses than any other collaboration system. Every IT Administrator’s primary task is to keep the Exchange Server focused on and undistracted from its mission-critical role of managing inbound and outbound e-mail—quickly and securely. As a network centerpiece, Exchange must be protected from outside exposure and threats, and unburdened from task-distracting add-on applications.

The Sendio product line was specifically designed to protect, support, and boost Exchange servers by buffering it from direct out-of-network communication and shielding scarce processing resources so the Exchange server is as productive as possible.

Sendio Protects Exchange from Direct Exposure & Threats	Sendio Keeps Exchange Distraction-Free & Focused
Protecting the network is as important as having locks on the front door of your company’s headquarters. The network is the data entry-point to the entire organization – financial, legal, trade secrets, etc. Protecting this gateway is the IT Administrator’s top priority. Firewalls play a major role, but cannot do the work alone. Deploying Sendio first in the line of defense (behind the corporate firewall) buffers Exchange from outside server communication, and takes full responsibility for anti-spam/anti-virus processing and bandwidth. Sendio mitigates exposure to hackers and spammers, and protects the Exchange server by handling all inbound and outbound email communication and the assaults that accompany them.	Exchange is a robust tool demanding significant processing power. Sendio appliances work autonomously to do the heavy email security lifting that permits Exchange to focus on its core competencies. Sendio relieves Exchange from the distraction of spam and junk email—tasks which waste staff and processing resources, and, worse still, are a hindrance to legitimate email delivery. With Sendio, the resources that Exchange once diverted to these tasks are now redirected to more dominant and core assignments. In fact, the majority of Sendio’s users realize much higher performance gains from their Exchange infrastructure because Sendio can reduce the bandwidth required by inbound email by up to 90%.
Sendio Amplifies Early Exchange Versions & Economizes	Sendio Decreases Redundant “Volley” Traffic with Mailbagging Support
Costly network expenditures, prohibitive for smaller firms and burdensome to larger organizations, have led many companies to preserve Exchange 2000, 5.5 or earlier installations. Because earlier Exchange versions do not incorporate any form of sender DNS checking or recipient checking, Sendio performs these vital screening checks in tandem with Sendio’s proprietary SilverListing and Sender Address Verification technologies, working together to confirm the legitimacy of senders. Sendio’s performance-amplifying support dramatically reduces the volume of email burdening the Exchange infrastructure and mitigates the need for pricey server upgrades and replacements.	Sendio’s temporary email storage, or “mailbagging”, protects Exchange when messages need to be held for delivery (such as when the Exchange server is off-line for maintenance). Sendio’s mailbagging function also does away with the generation of “non-deliverable” status messages to be generated, or the resending of emails — both distractions that contribute to annoying email volley. Sendio boosts the Exchange server's maintainability by accurately storing and delivering messages seamlessly when the server is back on-line.
Sendio Manages the Front Line	Sendio Optimizes Exchange Resources
Protecting email recipients against spam with forged headers is the work of Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) technologies—tools that allow legitimate organizations to publish information and/or sign outbound emails so that recipients can positively identify the accuracy of email domains. Sendio unburdens Exchange from this responsibility and provides complete message signing on outbound messaging and validation for inbound messages. In addition, Sendio can assume the taxing role of defending against viruses and other threats when an inbound proxy is nonexistent, and even when anti-virus software is in place. Valuable Exchange processing capacity isn’t preoccupied with handling the work that Sendio was designed for and does best.	Sendio’s smart host services protect Exchange from communicating directly over SMTP with outside servers—always risky—and provides a “perfect” delivery path within the internal network. Sendio relieves Exchange servers from the burden of spending scarce processing resources resending messages and assumes the job of routing outbound messages with ease and security.
