Case Study: Synovis Life Technologies eliminates spam and saves time and money with Barracuda Networks

Synovis Life Technologies Eliminates Spam with Barracuda Networks

Synovis Life Technologies, a diversified medical device company with about 400 employees across four offices, was being overwhelmed by spam that crippled inboxes and cost roughly 150 hours of productivity per year. Their server-based anti-spam software couldn’t protect satellite offices and budget limits ruled out expensive upgrades, leaving IT fielding constant complaints from staff and executives.

They deployed the Barracuda Spam Firewall 300, which stopped about 95% of spam out of the box and—after tuning—blocked more than 99.8%, while also filtering viruses and reducing Exchange server traffic. The appliance proved scalable and affordable, provided useful reporting for capacity planning, and restored IT productivity by eliminating spam-related disruptions.
