Secure instant messaging appliance

The World’s First Dedicated IM Server Appliance

• Use of Instant Messaging in businesses is rocketing
• Users are adopting IM because it fulfils communication needs, which can not be met by other media
• 98% of all corporate IM users are utilising free public services such as AOL Instant Messaging (AIM), MSN Instant Messaging and ICQ

BUT public IM services are a major security hazard

• Public IM offers a route through the firewall, providing a channel back in direct to the desktop. It then advertises this hole to the outside world by displaying the user’s presence
• Usage of public IM can not be monitored
• Many network managers are now trying to ban the use of these services because of these glaring security weaknesses

The ApplianSys IMBOX solves this problem

• Users get access to a fully featured instant messaging service, utilising proven, stable Jabber technology
• The service operates on a private network with maximised security
• Network managers win on both counts
• Your users get access to a valuable business tool
• You get control in-house, with peace of mind on the security front

Better still, IMBOX delivers IM in appliance format
