New Data Centers Support Rapid Growth
of Mailshell's Cloud-based Reputation Filters
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2009 - Mailshell, the leading
provider of traffic reputation, anti-spam and anti-phishing
engines for OEMs, today announced the launch of 10 new
data centers on five continents. The expanded global
presence provides a 100x increase in throughput and
further decreases latency of LiveFeed, Mailshell's cloud-based
real-time traffic reputation service. Mailshell LiveFeed
identifies and quantifies reputation, and 'Powered by
Mailshell' filters block spam and phishing, for more
than 40 OEM partners and millions of end users worldwide.
The company now has data centers throughout the world
including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany,
the Russian Federation, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore,
Australia, India, Argentina and Panama. Mailshell's
engines for OEMs include intelligence for each client
to identify and query the fastest and most available
data center for its LiveFeed queries. With the new data
centers, Mailshell's overall capacity now exceeds more
than 100 billion LiveFeed requests per month. The company
publishes a global system status map for its data centers
on its public website.
"We're investing in greater capacity and availability
to accommodate LiveFeed's dramatic growth in Europe,
Asia and South America," said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell.
"Already in 2009, several OEM partners have increased
their global footprint or switched from other providers
to 'Powered by Mailshell' solutions."
Mailshell LiveFeed is a real-time 'in the cloud' data
service that quantifies traffic reputation via advanced
statistical models. Unlike other reputation services
that provide only a binary 'good' or 'bad' rating, LiveFeed
provides granular trust ratings with automated adjustment
over time as reputations change. By focusing reputation
on mathematical models, rather than simply an 'IP black
list' approach, LiveFeed provides more accurate, highly
scalable detection.
