Security firm Trend Micro teams up with Sago Networks to provide businesses with an expanded range of security solutions.
Security software provider Trend Micro and IT service and
solution provider Sago Networks announced a partnership to provide Sago
Networks and its customers a range of Trend Micro Enterprise Security products
and managed service offerings.
Sago Networks offers a portfolio of managed services, IT
solutions, data center hosting facilities, and custom solutions. The company
builds in security to its three data centers and networks, as well as offering
a broad range of end-to-end security solution choices. Sago's CIO of managed
services, Jonathan Cox, said when Sago moved from open source to an
industry-standard Microsoft platform, it found Trend Micro to be the right
security technology provider in protecting in-house assets and in helping to
deliver world-class solutions to Sago customers.

"Our choice of security vendor was based on
functionality, market share, ease of management, and ultimately ROI," said
Cox. "We have a broad range of security needs and we need protection on
multiple platforms including Linux, Windows, Macintosh, and mobile devices. We
chose Trend Micro because they stood out from the rest in terms of offering a
breadth of hosted solutions. They help us offer robust, well-rounded solutions
that can meet all levels of the industry we serve."
Sago chose three of Trend Micro's Enterprise Security
solutions, including OfficeScan Client/Server Edition for PC and file server
protection, ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange for corporate e-mail server
protection and InterScan Messaging Hosted Security for anti-spam and e-mail
protection. Sago has also licensed the rights to resell the complete Trend
Micro solution portfolio, including home and home office solutions, small and
medium business (SMB) solutions, and enterprise solutions.
Trend Micro's Enterprise Security solution is an integrated
offering of content security products, services and solutions powered by the
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. The company's Enterprise Security
solutions rely on cloud-client architecture to help businesses protect their
network from malicious threats. To shorten the time to protection and reduce
the complexity of on-site solutions, Trend Micro clients can query Web, e-mail
and file reputation databases that are correlated in the cloud.
"Trend Micro not only offers the right products at the
right price points, but has enabled us to tailor product structures and bundled
solutions that suit our reseller business model," said Cox. "As a
partner, they give us the same flexibility for managed services that our
customers have come to expect from us in the telecommunications business.
Today, we can offer flexible licensing models that let our customers 'true up'
and 'true down' on a quarterly basis. Trend Micro solutions fit our service
pricing models and help keep our operating costs under control with solutions
that enable very efficient, centralized management and administration."
