Tiscali Deploys Bizanga Intelligent Message Processor Platform Across Europe

SAN MATEO, California and CAGLIARI, Italy - Solution Provides Immediate Payback and Enhanced Capabilities

Bizanga, the global company behind the most scalable and full-featured email and message processing platform, today announced that Tiscali Italia S.p.A. (Italian Stock Market. Milan: TIS), the alternative telecommunication company, has deployed the Bizanga Intelligent Message Processor (IMP) platform to manage and secure its pan-European email and messaging platform.

One of the principal alternative telecommunications companies in Europe, Tiscali chose Bizanga’s IMP platform in conjunction with Symantec’s Brightmail Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus software. It intended to delayer its email infrastructure, consolidating and simplifying systems while expanding the capabilities.

“The Bizanga systems were implemented”, said Salvatore Pulvirenti, CIO of Tiscali “gaining an immediate payback from the installation by freeing up hardware resources as well as management overhead. We are impressed with the strong partnership between Bizanga and Symantec and the seamless integration both on the systems and the joint deployment.”

The Bizanga platform decreased Tiscali’s hardware footprint for edge systems by 90% while enhancing its filtering capabilities. At the same time, Tiscali introduced new features such as SPF (Sender Policy Framework) at the edge of its network.

With one of the broadest and most interconnected networks based on IP technology in the world. Tiscali furnishes its clients, privates and companies, with a wide array of services: dial-up and ADSL Internet access, voice, VoIP, media, value added services and other technologically advanced products.

“As a leading pan-European ISP with consolidated operations, Tiscali faces constantly evolving challenges to keep its networks running well”, said Serge Dugas, GM EMEA of Bizanga. “We are proud that our systems allowed Tiscali to cost-efficiently provide differentiated services to its customer base.”
