SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 27 /- Proofpoint, Inc., the leading provider of unified email security and data loss prevention solutions, today announced the availability of its next-generation email security and data loss prevention appliances, including extremely high-performance models powered by multiple Intel Quad-Core processors. The new Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway(TM) appliances are designed to maximize the performance enhancements delivered by Proofpoint 5, the latest version of Proofpoint's unified email security and data loss prevention solutions.
Proofpoint 5 is the industry's first solution for defending against inbound spam and viruses, preventing leaks of confidential and private data, encrypting sensitive information and analyzing messaging infrastructures -- all on a single appliance. Delivering these capabilities on a single, unified platform enables customers to radically reduce costs and complexity while improving the overall effectiveness of their messaging security infrastructures.
"Today's enterprises, universities and government organizations are looking to solve a wide range of messaging challenges, from protecting against spam and viruses to guarding against loss of confidential and private information," said Andres Kohn, vice president of product management for Proofpoint.

Proofpoint appliances and software scale efficiently to support tens of millions of messages per day. They can easily be deployed in multiple-appliance, master/agent configurations to support complex or geographically distributed data centers-offering the security of 100% redundancy combined with the convenience of a single administrative interface.
