CHICAGO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aladdin Knowledge Systems, Ltd. announced today that Coqui.net, Puerto Rico's largest ISP, chose the Aladdin eSafe proactive content security solution to protect its customers from the ongoing onslaught of spam, viruses and cyber attacks. Coqui.net services more than half of all Internet users in Puerto Rico.

Aladdin eSafe allows Coqui.net to improve their services and increase their efficiency by eliminating the vulnerability of its customers from constant cyber threats. The Aladdin eSafe Mail and Advanced Anti-Spam modules used by Coqui.net provide powerful protection with the ability to scale to their high speed Internet and thousands of concurrent connections.

With more than 50 percent of the Internet market throughout the Island relying on Coqui.net for consistent and safe Internet and email service, Coqui.net identified the necessity to acquire a robust antivirus solution that could manage the growing number of threats and offer the needed flexibility to handle possible cyber attacks launched against its networks and customers. Today, Coqui.net has the ideal security solution to fulfill customers' expectations and business needs.

"A long research and evaluation process taught us that it is important to differentiate between marketing 'speak' and actual real world performance," said Hector Ramos, IT manager at Coqui.net Corporation. "We needed something that proved to offer the fastest email inspection time. The Aladdin eSafe solution allowed us to remove expensive, unneeded hardware and position eSafe as the first stop for accepting our email traffic. From a technical perspective, this saved Coqui.net time and money, while also benefiting our customers through even more consistent, reliable security. The Aladdin eSafe team provided us with exactly what we needed and did so in a timely and impressive manner compared to numerous other competing solutions that failed to live up to the requirements of such a large network vital to the island."

"The need for super fast, safe and productive Internet traffic is a critical business requirement for leading ISP's such as Coqui.net, as well as other large companies," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies, Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "eSafe far exceeds the bandwidth and capacity capabilities offered through even our closest competitors. Matched with powerful anti-spam and virus protection, eSafe offers unparalleled protection and speed, features highly valued by customers such as Coqui.net."

"Coqui.net turned to their systems integrator, Netxar, to find solutions that fulfilled their needs," said Frank Santiago, CEO of Netxar. "We have worked with Aladdin over the past years and have had amazing results with various companies on the Island. We knew the solution needed to be scalable with full redundancy. As far as we were concerned, Aladdin eSafe was the only choice."
