ComGuard launches two new products from GFI Software in the region

Dec. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- ComGuard, a Dubai based leading value added distributor for IT security products and solutions in the Middle East and North Africa region today announced the launch of GFI WebMonitor and GFI MailArchiver from GFI Software in the Middle East region.

GFI WebMonitor is a robust web monitoring, web filtering and web security tool that helps to boost employee productivity by giving administrators the ability to monitor and control employee Internet access in real-time. This ensures that employee web browsing activity is aligned with business needs and that any files downloaded are free of viruses and other malware. The new version adds several enhancements, including one enabling administrators to define policies based on time spent browsing specific types of sites (e.g. - limit to one hour per week on news/sports per user) or bandwidth consumed (limiting each user to 100Mb of YouTube downloads per week).

It also features enhanced proxy caching for improved performance and reduced bandwidth consumption, HTTPS scanning for enhanced filtering and control, improved interactive access and blocked activity monitoring reports – including drill-down capabilities.

Mohammad Mobasseri, Sr. Vice President, ComGuard FZ LLC, said “GFI WebMonitor and GFI MailArchiver are the best in class products to be available in the region. With ever increasing number of emails there is a strong demand for GFI MailArchiver, while on other hand GFI WebMonitor provides excellent solution for web monitoring and security which is imperative to the business these days.”

GFI MailArchiver is the single solution source for email management problems on Exchange Server. With more than 10,000 customers, it helps administrators maintain an archive of all corporate email correspondence, significantly reduce the demands on the Exchange server, manage and reduce the company’s dependence on PST files and also meet a growing number of regulations on compliance, eDiscovery and other legislation.

“MailArchiver solves the storage problem that is exacerbated by Exchange 2010, and makes email backup and restore a snap – as simple as dragging and dropping an email in Outlook. With organizations upgrading from Exchange 2003 / 2007 to Exchange 2010 they will enjoy the new features of Exchange but they will miss Single Instance Storage which means that their storage costs will increase considerably. With MailArchiver 2010, users will put SIS back into Exchange thus reducing the need for expensive storage and also solving their PST management problems at the same time,” said Brian Azzopardi, product manager, GFI Software.

MailArchiver is easy to install, requires little administrative effort, and ships at highly competitive pricing. The new version of GFI MailArchiver offers several new capabilities that promote ease of use and take the burden off of administrators, including a web interface that transforms email backup and restore into a self-service activity.

Commenting on the launch of GFI WebMonitor and GFI MailArchiver, John Spoor, Channel Manager for Middle East and Africa, GFI Software, said “These two award winning products enables businesses to work more efficiently and increase productivity. And, on other hand both these new products offer a excellent platform for IT resellers to tap into the fast growing market of web monitoring and email archiving in the region.”
