The new antivirus for Plesk servers is based on 4Grid Technology and uses the ClamAV antivirus engine.

Rack-Soft, a developer and integrator of server and data center software, today launched thier 4PSA Clean Server 4, an email and file system antivirus for Plesk servers, based on the 4Grid technology. The company states that its software introduces distributed scanning, delivery policies and antivirus control features. It also states that 4PSA Clean Server uses ClamAV antivirus engine.

The company says that 4PSA Clean Server 4 solves email antivirus scanning issues that Plesk administrators face. It further explains that the 4PSA Clean Server 4 introduces an approach to solve these issues by clustering the scanning processes. The product can be installed on one server like a traditional antivirus and when the number of servers increases, the hosting company can introduce specialized scanning nodes that handle email scanning for the entire infrastructure. Scanning requests are distributed automatically between scanning nodes and email delivery is not affected even when a hosting machine is flooded with emails.

"4PSA Clean Server 4 is our first public release of a product based on 4Grid framework. Together with our customers, we tested the new version in large environments with more than two hundred Plesk hosting servers. Our testing partners wereexcited to see that the product took the scanning load from the hostingservers, allowing these to better answer to requests and serve more customers. With 4PSA Clean Server, hosting businesses are no longer limited by email volume", said Bogdan Carstoiu, Rack-Soft's General Manager.
