Postini is the global leader in on-demand solutions that deliver on the promise of Communication Security and Compliance. With Postini, your company is protected against increasingly malicious internet-based attacks. Your compliance is ensured for government, industry, and internal mandates; and you can re-establish increased productivity for your users.

More than 35,000 businesses worldwide depend on Postini. We process over 1 billion messages per day, giving us an incredible pool of intelligence on what is happening on the internet, who the “bad guys” are, and what they are doing, today. This enables us to stay ahead of their latest tactics and to proactively protect our customers from even the most advanced attacks.

Just a little bit of background about Postini for everyone.

So what’s the deal with just another acquisition? Google is making bounds and leaps to create and synergize a global communication platform online. This will be huge. I mean really huge.

Google will be the first company to create this advanced of a system. Email, documents, voice over IP, advertising, web analytics, publishing.

What’s next for Google? We will probably see a web conferencing acquisition in the next few months. That’s the last component that I see Google is missing.
