To get back to my last posting': I hope that Astaro's good quality will not suffer by this sell-out. I've not much like Sophos products in the past including the enterprise antivirus which we manually migrated to another vendor's solution. Also the PureMessage AV product for Exchange wasnt very good when I tested it in 2006. I'd like to know what you guys think of this? A while back when Symantec bought Veritas their top product BackupExec became a buggy mess. They took till Version 2010 until they could deliver an almost bug free Version now 5 years later, at least for all *my* installations. How good is the reputation of sophos in other IT departments? Astaro has had a good rep at least here.

Please be assured that we took very deep look at Sophos and the future of the company. Astaro will continue to execute the planed roadmap with the addition of beeing able to use the great technology sophos possesses. I also think that comparing something you tested 5 years ago might be a bit unfair, as things change and improve quickly.
