The Benefits of Managed Services

Managed services are the ultimate way that you can go about growing and managing your business while another company worries about managing your technology.

What can be managed - just about everything!

Your network connectivity, network security, email (including security, spam, viruses), remote access, even your PCs, printers and other hardware devices.

Manage Now from CompuLinx provides an entire suite of fully managed services.

Technology reseller Insight has launched a new service to protect your email. Insight claims that its e-Mail Security Service, powered by MX LogicÆ, virtually eliminates 98 percent of spam, e-mail viruses, worms and more before they can reach your company's network.

Insight says that unlike anti-virus software, which is usually out of date by the time the user installs it, Insight?s e-Mail Security Service Powered by MX Logic is automatically updated to include protection against the latest threats. [Editor's note: But you can update your anti-virus program also. I don't know why Insight even compared their update feature to anti-virus programs as both can be updated.] It requires no additional hardware or software. The customer simply subscribes to the service, which Insight offers for a free 30-day trial period, and doesn?t need to worry about spam, viruses, worms and other harmful threats again. The 24/7 MX Logic Threat Center constantly monitors and responds to the latest threats, and new anti-spam and anti-virus techniques are instantly updated by the service provider. Insight and MX Logic provide ongoing support.
