Google on the attack; Microsoft to get sacked?

You must have heard how good Gmail’s filtering is by now, right? Personally, I’ve not had a spam message enter my Gmail inbox in some time, now Google is casting for more customers than just its freebie Gmail lovers. Leveraging their Postini purchase, Google wants to bring their ace filtering to big business. Blocking spam, archiving and encrpyting email is just one more way Google is getting into the pockets of big business.

Google’s broken down their offering into 3 services:

Google Message Filtering™

* Postini’s industry-leading service for filtering incoming spam and malware
* for companies looking to handle the growth of spam, virus and other email threats, and want to shift the burden off of on-premises resources
* $3 per user per year

Google Message Security™

* includes Google Message Filtering, plus enhanced virus detection, outbound processing, and content policy management
* for companies worried about growing external security threats and internal risks, such as email data leaks or content compliance violations
* $12 per user per year

Google Message Discovery™

* includes Google Message Security, plus one year of message data archiving, retention, and discovery
* for companies seeking to reduce security exposure, and improve legal discovery readiness and message compliance
* $25 per user per year for one year of archived data (additional years of data retention available separately)

These service are available immediately and can be activated within hours. Googles got more than 500,000 companies using its applications and reportedly adds 2,000 customers each day.
