GFI MAX Designed with IT Support Companies, MSPs in Mind

By Rory Lidstone TMCnet Contributing Writer

GFI Software’s GFI MAX is dedicated to helping IT support companies and managed services providers (MSPs) increase their revenue from existing customers while attracting new ones by way of cost-effective, easy-to-use services. Indeed, the GFI MAX platform provides MSPs with remote monitoring and management, e-mail security, endpoint security and managed hosted backup software suitable for companies of any size. It has gotten much praise lately, and so it only seems appropriate to take a closer look at this esteemed cloud communications technology.

This is because GFI MAX puts its focus on flexibility with its products, allowing them to change alongside a company’s growth. And since all of its products are hosted, customers don’t need to worry about maintaining hardware or software.

Specific products aimed at IT support companies and MSPs include GFI MAX RemoteManagement, Managed Antivirus, GFI MAX MailProtection and GFI MAX MailArchive.

GFI MAX RemoteManagement, for example, allows for the managing and monitoring of servers, workstations and networks while at the same time enables the delivery of remote support. This offering actually includes the company’s Managed Antivirus and Managed Online Backup offerings, along with asset/inventory tracking and reporting, scripting, patch management for Microsoft (News - Alert) and non-Microsoft applications and much more.

Even more, GFI MAX RemoteManagement was voted the Best Managed Services solution in the 2011 Reseller Choice Awards, conducted by eChannelNews, in March 2012.

GFI MAX MailProtection, meanwhile, is compatible with any e-mail system, offering e-mail security and continuity by way of a cloud-based protection system with zero hour AV defense.

Lastly, GFI MAX MailArchive is a hosted e-mail archiving solution that is capable of easily archiving messages to geographically distributed datacenters for future search, reference and retrieval. This offering, which only just made its EMEA debut in August 2012, is platform neutral and can be used either as a standalone solution or integrated within GFI MAX MailProtection to create a single, easy-to-use solution for handling e-mail security, continuity and archiving.

Each of these GFI MAX solutions is available for free through a 30-day trial program, allowing IT support companies and MSPs to test them out before committing.
