Synacor
Technology service provider Synacor, Inc. saw the potential to achieve cost and time savings and to accelerate its service to customers by shifting its hosted-email solution onto Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). However, the move would not have been possible without effective security.
A proof of concept (POC) revealed FortiGate-VM as the right firewall to protect the end-user email accounts of Synacor’s clients. This cloud-based threat protection is as rigorous as that provided by the physical firewalls in the firm’s five data centers. Yet, now the firm can set up a new client much faster. Network engineers are spending 30% less time deploying hosted-email security services, and protecting client emails costs half as much as similar firewall and intrusion prevention would cost in a data center environment.
