Dell Secures Hosted Email
Dell may have lost out to HP in the bidding war for 3Par, but it is still serious about developing its SaaS portfolio. In its most recent move, Dell has teamed up with security specialist, Symantec (news, site), to provide added security to its hosted email services.
As a result, Dell will use Symantec Hosted Services' cloud-based security services to bring new e-mail security features and better functionality to Dell's EMS customers and channel partners.
New features include hosted email anti-virus and anti-spam tools, hosted email image and content control as well as email boundary encryption.

CommVault Unifies Simpana 9
CommVault (news, site) has recently announced that it is extending the capabilities of its next-generation Simpana 9 software by unifying its Information Governance platform.
