Cloud-based email security company SMX has signed a global agreement to integrate its anti-spam and anti-virus cloud-based offering with Symantec’s Brightmail software.
The SMX offering allows large international systems integration vendors and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to deliver cloud-based email security service that is installed on a customer’s own infrastructure.
SMX co-founder and CEO Jesse Ball said Times Group in India uses the service under its own brand, and runs in its own local data centre, but is managed remotely by SMX.
"The SMX solution was up and running literally in days, tightly integrating an advanced billing and provisioning system," Ball said.
Symantec SMB and Channels Asia Pacific and Japan VP David Dzienciol said the demand for partners to offer cloud-based services is growing at a rapid pace.
"The SMX partnership demonstrates how partners can leverage Symantec’s technology to deliver innovative new cloud-based services offered by international system integrators and ISPs," Dzienciol said.
