The MiniStation comes integrated with Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Firewall, Back up System Journal, Web Mail, etc.; Can be configured as DNS Server, Web Server, FTP Server, File Server, NAT Server and DHCP Server.
Plustek, the leading image and communications solution provider, has announced the launch of MiniStation MFA500, a multi-purpose server specifically designed for the SMB and SOHO segments. This is a well-designed server solution to meet complete mail and messaging networking needs of SMB & SOHO markets in India. The MiniStation is a stable, secure, high speed and powerful messaging solution for the SMB users that offers advanced mail function and capabilities such as POP3, IMAP, Web mail, Antivirus and Anti-spam mail security and can also be configured DNS, and FTP/file server, system journal and firewall. It can also back up mail contents and avoid any loss of data.
According to Dr. Karen Ku, Vice President, Plustek Inc., “Small and medium sized enterprises need to create a network that they and their employees can depend on. With MFA500, all business activities can be controlled by our customers in-house at an extremely affordable price.”
It is a pretty common phenomenon for SMBs and SoHos to not have any dedicated server solution of their own. They generally use third part free email services or other third party servers for their official communication purposes, which doesn’t look professional. On top of this, the users get a lot of spam, virus and unsolicited mails. There are nearly 50-60 per cent of SMBs who use their PCs as servers and they end up spending huge amounts in buying stand alone security products. This also restricts them from collating data for the MIS purpose because of the non availability of the networked environment. Besides, these SMEs should know that their mail communications are stored somewhere in an unknown location with no guarantees of what will happen to their data if the server crashes or any other disaster strikes. Additionally, users must also take into account the privacy concerns about their mail communications as the free mail services are not too transparent about these issues and keep backups of even deleted mails without the explicit consent of the users.
“The SMBs might think that they are spending less in the third party resources, but at the end of the year, the expenses balloon into a substantially higher amount compared to owning a dedicated and integrated server of their own,” added Dr. Ku.
The SMBs can now use the new MiniStation MFA500 from Plustek as a dedicated mail server and configure multiple email IDs as per their requirements. Not only this enhances their brand image but also helps them to manage the email addresses and back up the communications without any privacy issues or having to rely on any third party.
“In fact, Plustek MiniStation MFA500 is the first product of its kind in the industry which really cares about SMBs’ pain points and offers affordable solution with sturdiness, security, and ease-of-use messaging application to assist them in tapping business opportunities through Internet,” concluded Dr. Ku.
