L7 Enterprise Server

Akonix L7 Enterprise Server is the base server software for the L7 Enterprise suite of Unified Policy Management software.

Now in its 7th generation since being introduced by Akonix in 2002, L7 Enterprise Server leverages technology and developments so unique that Akonix has filed over 15 patent applications on the base server alone.

With the release of L7 Enterprise Version 7, Akonix introduces a comprehensive new suite of software tools designed to manage and enforce policy across all modes of real-time communications. With L7 Enterprise Server and its associated modules, companies can manage the use of public and enterprise instant messaging, online conferencing, VOIP, and electronic faxing. Policies for security, compliance, archiving, appropriate use, and data leakage prevention are set, enforced, monitored, and reported from a single, unified policy management platform.

Akonix L7 Enterprise delivers:

Unique patent-pending technology to deliver comprehensive support for all of today's leading real-time communications applications. Its architecture leverages dynamically-updated, plug-in modules, each of which detects and manages a specific protocol. Today's suite of product modules delivers support for the leading public and enterprise IM platforms, Microsoft OCS online conferencing, Microsoft OCS VOIP, and RightFax fax server from Captaris.

Instant Messaging has become the foundation for real-time communications in the workplace, as the leading vendors have integrated new one-click capabilities for online conferencing, telephony (VOIP), email, and other communications directly into their enterprise-class IM clients. Leveraging its longtime leadership position in IM security and compliance, Akonix has extended L7 Enterprise to easily set and enforce policy across all of these presence-enabled modes of communication and collaboration.

The industry's only dynamically-updated blocking policies deliver unprecedented levels of security to protect against IM-borne spyware, worms, viruses and other malware. Akonix L7 Enterprise ships with the latest filters for existing viruses and downloads and installs new policies as threats emerge. Spam over IM is also blocked through downloadable policies and further reduced through screen name blacklists.

Akonix recommends deploying L7 Enterprise on Akonix A-Series appliances. The A-Series appliances are factory configured with our custom developed operating system, AkOS™, for maximum performance, security, and reliability. Click here for more information on A-Series appliances.
