Sybari Expands Antigen to SharePoint

Third-party ecosystem, Microsofts SharePoint Portal Server growth on Tuesday when the software company launched Sybari anti-virus and content filtering solution, the document stored in the Microsoft enterprise portal servers.

Sybari, which makes Antigen for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino antigen, but now shipping antigen Microsoft SharePoint.

For Sybari, decided to provide a product protected SharePoint Portal Server is a logical move in line with its core competitiveness of the group.

"We have been at work, as a company, since 1995, the combination of Lotus and exchanges and SharePoint truly meet the feature set of dominoes," said Tom buoniello, vice president of product management at Sybaris. "This is a low-threshold, we have been able to enter." Microsoft claim to have about 300 million users, its SharePoint Portal Server in 2001, 2001, as its release, buoniello said that the market is a big country, there are sufficient reasons to Sybari intervention. Anti-virus firm Trend Micro has recently launched a product of SharePoint.

Sybari in and Trend Micro seems to be latched to a mass market is expected to grow, according to the researchers at IDC. IDC company to a study published on Tuesday predicted that the enterprise information portal software market will grow from 550 million US dollars in 2001 to 31 billion dollars in 2006.

Of SharePoint has two parts, a document storage, the knowledge workers to collaborate and share work and search and indexing functions. Sybari is purely focused on the storage side of the document. According buoniello, anti-virus software is necessary, because the virus can document the land, storage, and opened each of their infection.

"Customers are looking for server-side protection, because customers sometimes disable anti-virus protection or not to continue, so far," he said.

Like Sybari foreign exchange products, SharePoint dependent antigen to other anti-virus firm, the real engine of discovery and definition of the virus. Antigen users can choose to default by the two engines, from the anti-virus engine is provided by Computer Associates, McAfee, Sophos, Norman Data Defense and Kaspersky after AVP.

Many customers will already have a business permit, as one anti-virus engine, buoniello bonds, that is to say, it is estimated that 80 per cent of the Sybari customers can have three anti-virus engines running at the same time.

Run multiple anti-virus engines means enterprises often be protected against more viruses. If a vendor is speed to market definition as a new kind of virus, is to protect customers, theoretical heartless.

According Sybari, and the scanning speed than the single-engine anti-virus software vendors, because it runs in memory of the file format, rather than writing and mailing out of the annex to disk and scanning them.

And antigen SharePoint is based on antigen exchanges, and one of the key difference between the notification. The Exchange scan products have an e-mail, user name of the infected attachment, there is no such obvious to notify users of SharePoint, they may receive a document, if not logged on to the Exchange server.

Sybari in solving problems in the three-step process. Can be notified by e-mail administrator, a paper in the shop is infected with SharePoint, users running SharePoint desktop can be notified through the network, and Sybari, can be infected out of the information, a description of the document field, So it showed that in a document adopted by the SharePoint directory.

SharePoint another potential problem, Sybari is an attempt to settle the filtering of unauthorized music files, such as MP3 or movie trailers. The AVI format to enable them from piling up at the store SharePoint. "People do not want to become the companys SharePoint jukebox," buoniello said.

Sybari costs 995 yuan, each server has a volume licensing programs for clients that starts at 18 yuan CAL.
