Web Hosting Leader Blocks Business Customers' Spam with ServerIron 4G
Some Web hosting companies have a local office, a regional presence, or a national network. But very few have the expanding global footprint of Verio. As a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications, the world's largest telecommunications company, Verio is one of the technology industry's pioneers that helped shape the Internet.

Today, Verio represents global stability, international strength, an IP network across four continents, and a growing suite of online services to business customers in more than 170 countries.

Challenge
Servers running the spam filtering software could not keep up with the increasing volume of spam.

Solution
ServerIron 450 running TrafficWorks 10.0 reduces spam traffic by integrating with blacklist providers like Spamhaus. SPAM can be blocked, permitted, or redirected based upon millions of good, bad, or unknown IP reputation policies.

Business Results

• Reduced the number of Internet connections on the spam filtering servers by 30 percent
• Decreased total cost of ownership
• Improved manageability
