Anti-Spam Solutions
Stop unwanted email at the edge of the network
The amount of spam on the Internet is doubling roughly every 6 to 9 months with an estimated 85% of all emails worldwide being spam. Anti-spam solutions can help you eliminate spam and other malicious email. These solutions mitigate the impact of spam on your network, storage, and email systems, reducing the need for additional mail servers, anti-spam systems, network bandwidth, and even storage--since compliance policies dictate that all incoming mail must be archived, regardless of its nature.
F5 takes the only approach that addresses all of these negative impacts: blocking spam on the edge of your network, before it impacts your systems. Our solutions can be configured using sophisticated message distribution policies, based on sender reputation, to keep your network from filling with unwanted email.
Why do I need an anti-spam solution?
Business benefits of using F5 for anti-spam include:
- An integrated anti-spam and application delivery solution.
Our integrated approach further reduces the load on any type of second-tier anti-spam inspection, providing more diversity for filtering and reducing the number of devices required. - Reduced Costs.
Our solutions help reduce bandwidth expenditures, use fewer server resources, decrease business continuity risks, and cut overall infrastructure costs. - A fast and cost-effective approach using real-time reputation data.
Our reputation-based management system goes far beyond traditional blacklists and just blocking known spam-senders. We give you the ability to set up sophisticated policies based on sender reputation, which allow you to intelligently filter or divide messages among multiple message-scanning infrastructure tiers. - A potential 70% reduction in unwanted email.
F5 can help you eliminate up to 70% of spam at the edge of the network, significantly increasing the scaling capacity of existing anti-spam solutions.
