MX-200
The MX-200 is a set-top or mini-1U format system, comes with a single
disk drive and two fast ethernet interfaces, and will comfortably
support the requirements of small/medium sized organizations. With
built-in POP3 server and full support for user mailboxes, the MX-200
can also provide a cost-effective alternative to MS Exchange, Lotus
Notes etc.
|
|
MX-400
The MX-400 is a full 1U rackmount system. It provides increased
performance and throughput over the MX-200, plus:
RAID 1 support (two mirrored disks)
for redundancy.
2 x Fast Ethernet interfaces for
extra flexibility in deployment.
1 x Gigabit Ethernet interface
for high performance networks.
|
|
MX-800
The MX-800 is a full 2U system designed for high traffic installations.
With a 2 GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, it can support thousands
of users and millions of messages a day. A higher degree of fault-tolerance
is provided by:
RAID 0 +1 (based on two pairs
of mirrored disks).
Hot-swappable power supply.
2 x Fast Ethernet interfaces and
2 x Gigabit interfaces.

Management
MXtreme is managed through a simple web based interface and may
be accessed remotely and locally. Sessions may be encrypted for
extra security. MXtreme is simple to administer and maintain and
needs no specialist knowledge or training. A full range of tools
is available to monitor the system and troubleshoot mail delivery
issues. Comprehensive logs record all mail activity. |

Secure
Web Mail
MXtreme's Secure Web Mail provides a unique mechanism for supporting
access to internal mail servers for remote users. Encryption and
strong authentication provide secure session controls and users
can readily access their mailboxes using OWA, iNotes or BorderPost,
MXtreme's own web mail client.
Strong authentication can be implemented using RSA SecurID and CryptoCard,
with Radius, LDAP and other tokens being incrementally supported.
Radius support allows for MXtreme to access Win2k Active Directory
and NT Domain controllers to authenticate users.
MXtreme addresses the security issues currently preventing the easy
deployment of web mail, by providing:
Strong authentication
Encrypted sessions
Advanced session control to prevent
information leakage on unguarded workstations.

Spam
Protection
MXtreme implements a three-tier SPAM barrier: configurable filters
based on source systems, use of RBL lists to reject known SPAM,
smart pattern matching to reject based on suspicious message envelope
characteristics. MXtreme substantially reduces SPAM, while providing
local control to ensure real mail is allowed. See the SPAM Whitepaper
for more information. |
|
|
|
Performance
MXtreme is designed to support the highest throughputs. With its
integrated hardened OS and optimized mail servers, MXtreme minimizes
the latency usually associated with intense security processing.
The MX-400 model includes RAID for protection against disk failure.
The MX-800 has RAID 0 + 1 for disk protection and striping, which
improves disk access times, a significant benefit when processing
mail queues. |

Message
Integrity
Like malformed data packets used to subvert networks, malformed
messages allow viruses to avoid detection, crash systems and lock
up mail servers. Researchers have identified over 350 ways to create
malformed messages, and many more are being created every day. MXtreme
ensures that only correctly formatted messages are allowed in to
your systems.
Message integrity checking protects your mail servers, mail clients
and improves the effectiveness of existing virus scanning implementations.
See the Malformed Messages Whitepaper for more information. |

Content
Filtering
MXtreme implements attachment controls, and content filtering based
on pattern and text matching. Content controls prevent:
Breaches of confidentiality
Legal liability from offensive
content
Wasting company resources for
personal use.
|
|
|
|
Deployment
MXtreme is generally configured to accept all mail for a domain
or sub-domain, to store and process mail according to the specified
policies, and then deliver the mail to one or more internal mail
servers for collection by users. MXtreme is ideally suited to deployment
on a DMZ or internally behind an existing firewall.
|
|
|
|
Encryption
Using SSL/TLS, all mail delivered to and from MXtreme can be encrypted.
This includes connections to remote systems, local internal MS Exchange
systems, or even internal mail clients.This allows messages to be
delivered with complete confidentiality both locally and remotely.
You can establish email VPNs with remote offices and business partners
with the minimum of impact.
|
|
|
|
Mail
Delivery
MXtreme supports sophisticated mail delivery, and can accept, process
and deliver mail for multiple domains and internal mail servers.
Mail mappings and address masquerading helps hide internal mail
server addresses.
|
|
|
|
Secure
Foundation
MXtreme runs on the S-Core operating system, which it shares with
the BorderWare Firewall Server - the most highly certified firewall
in the world with Common Criteria EAL4 (and EAL5 vulnerability analysis).
S-Core has been in the field for years and is proven in the most
sensitive environments.
MXtreme thus specifically resists operating system attacks, protecting
your mail servers from direct SMTP and HTTP connections and effectively
firewalling not just these traffic types, but all other attacks
which may exploit them.
MXtreme avoids the problems and challenges of installing, configuring,
hardening and maintaining a general purpose operating system. |

|
Virus
Scanning
Provided as a cost-option, virus scanning can be enabled using the
Trend Micro or the Kaspersky Lab's virus scanning engine. Automatic
hourly updates ensure the latest viruses are caught. MXtreme's high
performance virus scanning can provide a vital layer of protection
for you whole organization. |
|
|
|
Mailboxes
MXtreme can host user mailboxes and thus act as full-function mail
server for small offices. With full support for POP3 and SMTP, MXtreme
provides a cost-effective alternative to other mail servers, at
the same time as delivering a secure package that can be remotely
managed. |
|
|
|
Security
Connection
Unique to BorderWare, the Security Connection provides an automated
update service. Simply enable the Security Connection, and you are
automatically notified of any new patches and updates.
This is a significant benefit where security is concerned. BorderWare
constantly monitors for new vulnerabilities and issues new modules
to defend against them. The Security Connection ensures that you
have them as soon as they are available. |
