(1888PressRelease) July 27, 2011 - The leading provider of message processing appliances and applications for enterprise messaging infrastructures, are jointly developing and bringing to market an integrated email and messaging cloud service for commercial enterprises and government organizations. The service leverages the strength of the Sendmail Sentrion Message Processing Platform, the Harris Trusted Enterprise Cloud™ and the Harris Cyber Integration Center™ (CIC).

In the journey to the cloud, enterprises are increasingly selecting email as one of the first applications due to its virtualized architecture, need for scalability, and per seat deployment model. However, enterprise email running on a public cloud may not be able to meet the enterprise requirements for availability, security, and performance. Harris and Sendmail have integrated enterprise-grade email and cloud infrastructure to produce a service designed for mission critical workflows.

"In today's online world, when your email stops working so does your business," said Rich Plane, head of Solution Development and Delivery, Harris Cyber Integrated Solutions. "While it makes sense to run email in the cloud, it is a mistake to run email in a cloud you can't trust. The combination of Sendmail with Harris' Trusted Enterprise Cloud and Cyber Integration Center delivers world-class email and messaging for commercial and government organizations."

Sendmail provides enterprise email and messaging systems that are currently being used by hundreds of thousands of enterprises around the world including seven of the world's largest financial services organizations, three of the largest U.S. government agencies, the world's largest telecom and technology providers, and top Fortune 1000 companies. The Sendmail Sentrion Messaging Processing Platform and Message Processing Engine deliver an exceptional combination of site-specific customization, scalability, policy-based routing, security, filtering, and systems management.

Harris Trusted Enterprise Cloud is the preeminent cloud hosting system available today combining patented trust enablement technology, industry leading hardware and software, world-class infrastructure, and operational excellence. The Harris Cyber Integration Center is an innovative cloud node that was designed from the ground up to offer technology and services that meet the highest industry and government standards for reliability and security. Key differentiators in these offerings are the Global Trust Repository and the Enterprise Trust Server, which provide continuous monitoring, assurance, and attestation that the software and configurations in the cloud environment are deployed and operating according to specification and have not been compromised.

"Security, computer-generated email systems, multiple encryption requirements, regulatory compliance, policy enforcement, deep content scanning, data loss prevention and high-volume outbound mail are but a few of the challenges enterprises face when moving email to the cloud," said Jim Seaman, vice president, Federal and Systems Integrators, Sendmail. "The joint Sendmail Harris messaging cloud system provides a platform and a toolkit for enterprises to overcome these challenges and deploy an email system they can trust."

Harris and Sendmail have finalized system configurations and on-boarding procedures for their cloud email service and are working with a number of large commercial organizations and federal agencies on deployments.
