During one of the latest Global Services’ webinars, Avinash Vashistha, CEO and Chairman Tholons, noted: “Western Europe has done a significant amount of nearshoring to Eastern European countries which have become a part of European Union.” But what makes EE/CEE locations so attractive for Western clients? Why, unlike their American counterparts, European businesses prefer to keep their IT initiatives close to home? Why such popular offshore destinations like India and China are losing ground? According to Tholons and Global Services’ joint study, the first reason for Europe’s neashoring success lies in the conservative nature of Europeans who are comfortable to keep work close to home and do not have a settled tradition of sending work overseas

Welcome to part two in a series on securing email. In part one we introduced the challenge, and three influences; compliance, technology, and support. In this post, we’re going to look at two of the prevailing methods for securing email exchanges between servers… the way two businesses might wish to secure the email exchanges between them to prevent eavesdropping or interception on the Internet. We’ll look at SMTP/TLS and at routing SMTP over a VPN connection, and look at the pros and cons of each method. In server to server solutions, we are looking at securing email exchanges between the MTAs controlling email for two different companies.
