STORM (RT) - Real Time Response to Email Load

Description

Opus One's STORM product works with Innosoft's PMDF, Sun's SIMS, and iPlanet's iMS software to provide a real-time email storm and bomb avoidance facility. The goal of STORM is to slow the flow of "bad" mail through the email backbone while letting "good" mail flow into the backbone at the fastest rate possible.

STORM detects and reacts to storms and bombs by "pushing back" on the sending email system. This puts the burden of dealing with the bomb on the sending email system manager, rather than on the RT system manager.

STORM can be combined with the Opus One Filter Channel for maximum protection and flexibility.
