Virtual Appliance

Save money and reduce storage now,
with flexible growth when you need it.

There is no need to buy years worth of storage right now, when storage costs are dropping dramatically. With the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance, you can add storage when you need it with a virtually unlimited capacity. You no longer need to ask painful questions, such as the following:

	How many years worth of email to I need to keep?
	How quickly will my company grow?
	How big is the average message? Will it be the same in three years?
	How much total storage do I need?
	With several years of email, do I have enough processing power to search them?.

Our "virtual appliance" separates the InBoxer software from the hardware it is running on without losing performance. That means that you can add storage, processing power, and memory at any time. Multiple disk drives can appear to be one very large drive that keeps getting bigger as required. You can even adopt storage virtualization for the ultimate in flexibility. You can connect to a SAN or a WORM device.

The bottom line is that you can buy less storage now and easily add storage later. As storage prices are dropping dramatically, waiting a year to decide could mean big savings. You don't need to worry about guessing wrong about future needs.

If your company grows quickly, it is fast and easy to migrate from one hardware system to another with a faster processor or more memory. The old hardware can be redeployed.

The InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance gives you freedom and flexibility at lower cost. Yet, it includes all of the software features and capabilities found in our hardware appliance.

How Virtualization Works

If you have already virtualized your data center using VMware server or higher, the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance is ready to run. InBoxer will ship a DVD containing the software and will advise you as to the needed configuration.

If you do not intend to virtualize, you can still take advantage of the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance. Purchase a recent model Linux or Windows personal computer directly from your favorite vendor. Add as much storage as you desire. Run a copy of VMware server or Microsoft Virtual PC on the computer. Configure your system and install the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance. If your needs change.

Benefits

	Larger companies can benefit from virtualization’s lower of the cost of capital (eliminates multiple hardware devices, rack space, etc.) and reduced cost of operating the equipment (energy costs, support costs, etc.). As part of a VMware system, larger companies can adjust performance and take advantage of flexible storage solutions.
	Smaller companies can save money by purchasing a PC system from their favorite vendor. They can configure the system with exactly the amount of storage they would like. In addition, as the company grows, it is easy to expand or migrate a virtual system to a new system. Smaller companies can use the free VMware server or Microsoft Virtual PC..
	Educational institutions and other non-profits can significantly reduce their expenses by purchasing hardware using their discounts and group buying contracts.
	Resellers can build custom configurations using the InBoxer Anti-Risk Virtual Appliance software. They can select the the hardware platforms that they prefer and can take advantage of volume discounts from their hardware vendor. It also allows the Reseller to customize the exact configurations their customers need.
