Consulting and Support
Introduction to Microsoft System Center 2012 R2
Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 is a suite of enterprise-class management and reporting tools for streamlining the administration of IT infrastructure ranging from smartphones to virtualized server clusters, application software, and data. Dubbed by Microsoft "the Cloud OS," System Center 2012 R2 is a comprehensive collection of utilities that combine to create a unified, consistent platform for monitoring and controlling IT assets that can span local and remote datacenters, private and public clouds, as well as applications and services hosted on Microsoft Azure. (Learn about Progent's Microsoft Azure planning and cloud integration consulting services.)

Progent's ProSight Email Guard solution uses the technology of leading data security vendors to deliver web-based control and world-class security for all your email traffic. The hybrid structure of ProSight Email Guard integrates cloud-based filtering with an on-premises security gateway appliance to provide complete defense against spam, viruses, Denial of Service Attacks, Directory Harvest Attacks, and other email-borne malware. The cloud filter serves as a preliminary barricade and blocks the vast majority of unwanted email from reaching your security perimeter. This reduces your exposure to inbound attacks and saves network bandwidth and storage space. Email Guard's on-premises gateway appliance provides a deeper level of inspection for inbound email. For outbound email, the local security gateway provides AV and anti-spam filtering, protection against data leaks, and encryption. The onsite gateway can also help Exchange Server to track and protect internal email that stays within your corporate firewall.
