Commtouch Adds Hong Kong Data Center May 8, 2008
Messaging and web security solution provider Commtouch (commtouch.com) announced on Thursday that it has launched a new data center, or "detection center" as the company calls it in its recent press release, in Hong Kong.


This is Commtouch's fourth facility worldwide. The company has two data centers in the US and one in the UK.

Commtouch says its "globally distributed detection centers process over one billion messages per day to identify suspicious traffic in a patented process known as recurrent pattern detection technology." It says RPD works in real time to block spam and malware outbreaks and to classify zombie-generated traffic.

Yossi Maslaton, Commtouch's VP of network operations and customer services will directly oversee the data center's operation. Maslaton says this expansion into Hong Kong will improve service to all its partners, particularly its 22 Asian licensing partners and the Asian end-customers of its global partners.

"Commtouch's global data center infrastructure enables the provision of superior security solutions with a distributed 'in the cloud' delivery method," says Amir Lev, Commtouch's chief technology officer and president. "The strength of our detection-center architecture is that Commtouch licensing partners, and by extension their customers, have access to the most up-to-date threat prevention patterns, without having to store or maintain them locally. Each end-customer can leverage the vast processing power of the Commtouch infrastructure, extracting and caching just the relevant updates in real-time."

According to the press release, Commtouch's suite of security offerings, including anti-spam, virus detection, reputation and zombie intelligence services, work together in a feedback loop within the company's data centers to identify new spam, malware and zombie outbreaks as they are initiated.

Founded in 1991 and based in Netanya, Israel, Commtouch says it has "mitigated Internet threats for thousands of organizations and hundreds of millions of users in over 100 countries."

This week has seen more than the usual number of new data center announcements. Earlier today Technical Real Estate announced it has started construction a new 32,000 square foot facility in Sydney, Australia. And on Wednesday, SoftLayer opened a new data center in the Washington D.C. area.
