Symantec Corp. and Message Systems announced a joint initiative, Service Provider Next Gen, under their strategic partnership.
The objective of the Service Provider Next Gen Initiative is to combine best of breed products and services from the two companies to provide a superior suite of message security, management and other business solutions for telcos, ISPs, hosting companies and other service providers. Through integrated technology, service and support, Symantec and Message Systems are planning to offer service providers a better way to achieve their business objectives.
As part of this announcement, Symantec and Message Systems are also releasing their first solution under the Service Provider Next Gen initiative – combining BrightmailÔ and MomentumÔ at the edge of the network. Brightmail in combination with Momentum offers an integrated solution that combines the Symantec Brightmail Message Filter and Symantec Brightmail Traffic Shaper products with Message Systems’ Momentum platform.
In addition to offering this powerful product combination today, the two companies will bundle other products and services under the Service Provider Next Gen initiative to address the broader business needs of service providers in 2010.
