SpamTitan Technologies, the makers of powerful yet easy-to-manage spam and web filtering software, today announced the release of a new Cloud-based option of its highly-regarded SpamTitan anti-spam and anti-virus virtual appliance.  SpamTitan On-Demand is the first to give businesses instant access to their own private virtual appliance in the cloud.

SpamTitan appliance On-Demand gives companies all the benefits of SpamTitan without the cost of deploying local resources or virtualisation software. SpamTitan appliance On-Demand provides the benefits of cloud computing and virtualisation including scaleability and redundancy.  Small- to medium-sized businesses receive high availability, performance and reliability in an affordable package that is optimised for their business needs.

Unlike competing solutions that rely on a hybrid or shared tenancy model, SpamTitan On-Demand gives SMBs who perceive shared tenancy solutions as less secure all the flexible benefits of Cloud but with guaranteed privacy over their email security. Using their own single tenancy Cloud-based appliance SMBs can configure SpamTitan On-Demand to their exact requirements and be ready to block spam in minutes. By simply clicking a link, users can access a hosted SpamTitan virtual appliance that allows them to instantly explore, configure and use their own SpamTitan application.

”The uptake of cloud computing is set to increase in 2011 with cost savings and flexibility being the key motivators,” said SpamTitan Technologies CEO Ronan Kavanagh. “Today’s announcement marks the next generation deployment phase for SpamTitan offering even more flexibility to our customers as well as increased efficiency, affordability and ease of use.”

"We have always been innovative in our offerings this takes that innovation to the next level,” he added.
