ATLANTA, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated email and Internet content security provider, Marshal, is launching a Service Provider Edition of its award-winning MailMarshal software. MailMarshal Service Provider Edition (SPE) provides managed service providers (MSPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) with a range of hosted email security services that can be tailored to their customers' specific requirements. Services offered include email filtering, policy control, archiving, reporting and the ability to grant differing levels of administration access rights to service providers' customers' own administrators.

MailMarshal SPE is a business-enablement solution for service providers targeting business customers and SOHO users. The software's intuitive, centralized management console makes it easy for MSP/ISP staff to manage policies, user accounts and messages spread across multiple servers located in geographically distributed locations. MailMarshal's Array Manager Architecture naturally lends itself to a hosted environment, because it is highly scalable and provides an extremely redundant architecture design for up to 99.999 percent of network availability.

MailMarshal SPE offers service providers the flexibility and granularity to tailor their email security services -- and grant different levels of administration access rights -- to match the particular requirements of each customer. For example:

* Policy control: inbound and outbound email policy control can be tailored to meet customer requirements, with service providers able to offer pre-set levels of policy control, or individually customizable policies, for each customer; * Archiving: email archives can be set up to be searchable by the service provider or the customer; * Reporting: Customers can be offered the ability to run their own reports in real-time or run at pre-set intervals. Reports can cover a range of criteria including the number of viruses blocked, the volume of spam that has been filtered and many more.

Ed Macnair, CEO of Marshal, comments: "With the launch of MailMarshal SPE, service providers can now offer their customers a hosted version of what is one of the world's top three email content security software products. The beauty of MailMarshal SPE is that it is based on a highly scalable and extremely redundant architecture -- both of which are critical to an efficient hosted service -- and can be tailored by service providers to meet the exact requirements of their customers, be they SOHO users or larger businesses."

Brett Salovy, General Manager of Security at service provider Internet Solution, adds: "MailMarshal SPE is a huge step in the right direction, in finally providing Service Providers with an easy to manage centralized interface for what has always predominantly been an Enterprise software solution. It also offers a number of great features that no other vendor can offer for the service provider market."

MailMarshal SPE represents an evolution rather than a revolution for Marshal. MailMarshal has been used as an ASP solution over the past eight years by a number of service providers, hosting hundreds of thousands of users between them. The new Service Provider Edition of MailMarshal builds on Marshal's existing experience in this area and gives MSPs/ISPs a specific solution enhanced for an ASP environment.

MailMarshal is a total email security solution for business networks and is used by over 18,000 companies around the world. It combines anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-phishing, anti-porn and content security into a highly scalable and easily manageable solution.

MailMarshal SPE is available immediately. Marshal offers a number of flexible subscription pricing arrangements for service providers, based on the total number of active users they are hosting.
