Alternative Technology and MXLogic Partner to Provide Email Protection and Security to Channel Partners
MX Logic's Email Defense Service Expands Master Distributor's Revenue Opportunities for Security VARs
DENVER-Oct. 21, 2003 – Alternative Technology, Inc., a leading distributor of thin client/server-based computing and security solutions, and MX Logic, a provider of advanced email protection and security solutions including spam and virus filtering, today announced a partnership where Alternative Technology will distribute MX Logic's solutions and resell them to their network of value-added resellers (VARs).
"With spam and other email threats increasing at such a dramatic rate, our VARs require a reliable and cost-effective email protection solution for their end user customers. We found that MX Logic's solutions provide outstanding protection and offer the perfect complement to our security product portfolio for those resellers looking to increase their sales while providing a value-added service to their customers," said Bill Botti, president and COO of Alternative Technology. "MX Logic's Email Defense Service offers great margin and concrete productivity gains with useful tools that any organization can use."
MX Logic's Email Defense Service provides around-the-clock email protection, automatically intercepting, analyzing and blocking malicious and unsolicited messages at the network perimeter-before messages can enter or leave the internal corporate network. This frees up IT resources, increases employee productivity, decreases network and storage costs, and reduces corporate liability and threats to the enterprise.
Built from the ground up to provide reliable email security and defense, MX Logic's Email Defense solution filters up to 98.5 percent of spam and maintains an industry-leading low false positive rate (legitimate email marked as spam). MX Logic's Stacked Classification FrameworkSM, its patent-pending, multi-layered spam detection system, aggregates the five most effective spam-fighting filters and techniques in the industry, blocking up to 98.5 percent of spam and enabling an industry-leading low false positive rate (legitimate email marked as spam).
"Collaborating with Alternative Technology will increase the availability of our email protection and security solutions to their partners-particularly their security resellers," said Kevin Fallon, president of MX Logic. "Alternative Technology's established VAR base, along with its proven track record, makes the company a sound and compelling choice for a distribution partnership. Through our solutions, they can increase their revenue, while their end customers can receive complete email protection and security."
MX Logic solutions are now available through Alternative Technology. For a detailed understanding of the services, VARs are asked to call their Alternative Technology account representative at 800-544-7674 (USA), or toll-free at: 866-240-9991 (Canada).
