Welcome to Qlite or Q-Lite Spam FireWall.

This product came to you by total coincidence. Quebix Solutions create this product merely to stop spam from reaching it’s clients in late 2007. Since, the spam filter has evolved to catch over 98.5% of spam. With a creditable background used for many clients in London, Q-Lite has replace the recommendation for slow hardware 1U units which cost more than the unit itself to maintain and support.

Q-Lite is a totally online system. To keep your cost down, we have employed 10 load balanced servers within a cluster, to keep you safe from spam.

What is Q-Lite?

Q-lite is a Spam FireWall or Spam Filter. It’s also an Anti-Virus server which protects you from any viruses that may otherwise would have reached your server. Q-Lite, is the not the most well known Anti-Spam or Anti-Virus system, but for what it does it more value for less money.

Why is it Advertised so Cheap?

This question has been put to us many time over the pass year by many of our clients and the simple answer is:

  1. Why would you pay for hardware that will cost you over £1.5K just for one unit
  2. Why would you pay for hosting to ensure your spam unit
  3. Why would you pay for support for such a high start up  price

Consolidation here is the key. Many other of our competitors have problems with MySql queries and disk I/O or HDD activity with 2 -4 GB amounts of ram per unit. This gives them many inconsiderable overheads in terms of the load on the one unit itself. Let us not forget the prices they charge and additionally the maintenance cost.

At Q-Lite we have increased Disk I/O speed using nothing but HP DL380 G5 servers with a minimum of 32GB of RAM per box. Our servers are maintained every Sunday of the month to ensure quality services. Our core network of services are distributed meaning no one server is doing more than one specified role. This gives our customers a better experience with out delays and gremlins.

Q-Lite charges a small fee because we believe we should not be like the spammers themselves by charging more than what is needed. Our costs are subsided by our other core businesses that Quebix Solutions operates thus giving you execellent value for money.

Our Infrastucture

Our Spam systems are all on HP DL380 G5 servers with a fork of the RHEL 5 distribution with our own custom modification to ensure stability and reliability. There are 10 servers in our spam cluster.

  • 2 Spam FireWalls
  • 2 Backup MX servers
  • 2 MySql Servers
  • 2 Web Servers
  • 2 Storage Servers with over 200TBs of storage

We often get asked why are we so honest about our approach to our distributed services. The answer to that is, we have evaluated Barracuda, SpamTitan, SpamWall and many more but they all seem to be extremely slow. In the world we are living in today trying to do a job which should take less time but takes a minute to complete is costing you money.
