“Zen Internet’s reputation for fast and reliable hosted services is critical to our business,” said David Barber, senior product manager, Hosting at Zen Internet. “We recognized the need to enhance our existing switch infrastructure in order to further improve the customer experience and our competitive edge. As an existing user of Juniper’s high-performance networking infrastructure, Zen Internet was confident that Juniper could deliver a best-in-class switch solution for our data centers. The combination of EX Series switches and JUNOS® Software provides an open and flexible platform with a reduced long term total cost of ownership.”

The Juniper Networks EX4200 line of Ethernet switches with Virtual Chassis technology combine the High Availability and carrier-class reliability of modular systems with the economics and flexibility of stackable platforms. Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities as part of the base software, the EX4200 line of switches satisfies a variety of high-performance applications, including branch, campus and data center access deployments as well as Gigabit Ethernet aggregation deployments. A single 24-port or 48-port switch can be deployed initially; as requirements grow, Virtual Chassis technology allows up to 10 EX4200 switches to be interconnected over a 128 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) backplane and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments. By supporting a large number of high-performance ports in a compact form factor, the EX4200 switches with Virtual Chassis technology enable enterprises to reduce the number of managed devices and collapse or eliminate switching layers in the network infrastructure, dramatically reducing capital and operational expenses.

Zen Internet is a long-standing Juniper Networks T Series core router customer, and because the EX4200 switches leverage the same JUNOS Software — a single source operating system integrating routing, switching, security and network services from Juniper — Zen will benefit from the operational simplicity and increased efficiency which results from using a consistent operating system in multiple portions of its network. According to commissioned independent research*, JUNOS Software can dramatically reduce operating costs and complexity by up to 41 percent.

“Zen Internet delivers fast, reliable and secure services without compromise, and requires a network infrastructure with the same qualities,” said Gert-Jan Schenk, senior vice president of operations, EMEA, Juniper Networks. “By innovating its data center infrastructure with Juniper’s EX Series switches, Zen Internet has created a service-enabling network infrastructure that can drive network monetization.”

According to the Sphinx website, it can handle email stores of up to 100 million documents on a single CPU, can index incoming content at the rate of 10MB per second and offers very, very fast query retrieval times. The scalability and speed of the product are evidenced by its adoption by leading service providers like Craigslist, an affiliate of Yahoo! Jeremy Zawodny, a software engineer at Craigslist, has written an excellent article about Sphinx in Linux Magazine, in which he states that Sphinx remove d the ‘invisible glass ceiling’ in MySQL’s full-text indexing performance.

The index engine is a key middleware component of any email archive application like MPP Archive. Index engines convert text and information into numerical patterns that can be quickly searched and retrieved by computers. Combined with Boolean logic, a well architected index engines is the key to fast email archiving, query and sophisticated search strategies.

“We chose Sphinx because it scaled and email archives can grow over time into huge repositories of data,” said Ovidiu Bivolaru, Chief MPP Engineer. “Customer feedback about the technology has been outstanding.”

MPP adds Sphinx to the long list of Open Source technology components that serve as building blocks or plug-ins in its technical architecture: Postfix created by the legendary Dr. Wietse Zweitze Venema of IBM Watson Research Lab in New York; MySQL, the brainchild of two Swedes and a Finn: David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael “Monty” Widenius; MySQL is a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems soon to be part of Oracle; Spamassassin created by Justin Mason, who lives in Ireland; ClamAV, a project headed by Tomasz Kojm of Poland and SURBL created by Jeff Chan.

MPP stands for ‘Message Processing Platform’. MPP is based on Email Stream Management (ESM) technology. ESM recognizes that email and its attachments is the most important data stream of every organization and individual. Worldwide, it is estimated by Radicati Group Inc., that there are 2.5 billon email accounts; 42% of the world’s population relies on email for information and collaboration. ESM is the technology that unlocks the potential of email by (1) protecting it from external threats like computer malware, viruses, spam, phishing, fraudsters and denial of service attacks, (2) associating it with core business systems and processing it using business logic; and (3) archiving it for retrieval in compliance with government regulations and legal discovery rules. ESM enables enterprises to bridge the schism between data embedded in email and data silo’ed in core business systems like CRM, CSM, BI, SCM, CM, ERP and DM.

About Mailspect
Mailspect, Inc. headquartered in New Rochelle, New York with operations in Romania, Russia and the Ukraine and a growing world network of distributors and resellers, is the developer of the revolutionary technology, Email Stream Management (ESM). ESM is the technical basis of the awarding winning Message Processing Platform or MPP. MPP offers clients a comprehensive and integrated suite of products that (1) protects the email stream from malware and Internet attacks, MPP Defense; (2) associates email and its attachments with core business systems and process the email stream based on business logic, MPP Email Stream Manager; and (3) archive the email stream in compliance with government regulations and legal discovery rules, MPP Archive. MPP currently is installed in client mail systems that process billions of emails per day.

SafeID authentication begins when a user’s name and email address are entered into the system during an intended purchase. From there, a series of five or six multiple choice questions are generated based on data from various sources and history of the potential purchaser. Depending on the integration, users will either take the test on the merchant’s site or receive it via email. Upon completion, the user’s score is made available to the merchant through their control panel, an API or by email which they can use to determine the customer’s authenticity.

SafeID can be integrated quickly and cost-effectively into almost any online business environment. The SafeID verification tool is ideal for integration on e-business applications, low and high volume sellers using online auctions and classified sites, as well as users enrolled in online dating and social networking sites.

The application’s code, available at www.SafeID.org, is easily copied and pasted into the web page similar to a PPC tracking pixel. The code can be integrated either before or after the order confirmation page.

“Criminals using fraudulent credit card accounts are purchasing large quantities of goods from online merchants that they never intend to pay for. SafeID’s verification tool intends to stop this type of activity before it starts and better protect both large and small commerce sites,” said Alon Cohen, general manager at Accucom. “With SafeID, online merchants have a simple, affordable service that supports legitimate transactions and criminals will avoid sites that potentially identify and isolate fraud.”
