Virtual Appliance Benefits

Sendio Virtual Edition is ideal for companies that have adopted or are moving to a VMware environment. All of the benefits of virtualization can be realized with Sendio’s virtual appliance including:

• Quick setup — a virtual appliance deploys in just minutes by simply loading into your VMware environment, including VMware Server or VMware Infrastructure.
• Cost savings related to infrastructure simplification: Reduced hardware, power, cooling, and space requirements.
• Reliability, backup and disaster recovery: Snapshots of an entire environment can be easily taken and restored at any time leveraging VMware’s infrastructure management tools.
• Deployment and scalability: New virtual servers can be rapidly deployed on existing hardware.
• Change management: New versions and configuration changes can be tested in a zero-risk environment using a snapshot of the production environment.

• No annoying false positives. Messages are never held or quarantined due to elaborate message content filters.

How Sendio email protection works

• Inbound email for your domain is cut over to Sendio via a DNS MX record change.
• Outbound email is routed via a Smarthost or relay setting in your mail server through Sendio and out to the Internet.
• A user’s email community self-manages via simple automatic invitations to new inbound senders who can easily join your community.
• Users and Administrators can also manually import email community members (customers, suppliers, etc.) to Sendio from CRM systems and other contact databases.
• Automated senders of phishing, malware, and spam will never get added to a user’s email community.
• When a user sends an outbound message through Sendio those recipient email addresses are automatically added to the user’s email community.
• Anti-spoofing technology (DKIM, SPF) provides extra protection against malicious senders to your domain.
• Sendio always keeps an up to date snapshot of valid email addresses for your organization via an LDAP sync to your onsite LDAP directory.
