Hosted Services

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to use a managed service provider (MSP) or hardware/software solution. A MSP, such as AppRiver’s SecureTide™ service, is uniquely designed to protect companies from spam, fraud and viruses without hassle or high cost, making it ideal for companies with overextended IT resources. It also eliminates the need for additional hardware or software and does not require any changes to your network. In addition, MSPs free bandwidth and reduce traffic on network infrastructure by stopping unwanted mail at the Internet level. The following table provides additional information about the differences in MSPs and hardware/software appliances.
