In October of 2010, merely 6 months ago, the first release of www.AllAboutFoIP.com was launched for the purpose of providing an un-biased and consolidated Fax over IP (FoIP) information resource, and for serving the growing industry as a whole.  Search engine rankings on a wide-variety of fax industry related terms continue to elevate and astound us.  We estimate that AllAboutFoIP.com already experiences roughly 36,000 pageviews per month, a majority from organic searches and referrals. In December, we launched our bi-monthly newsletter with a distribution list already approaching 10,000 recipients, with additional press releases providing worldwide exposure.

If you do a Google search on Cloud Faxing, most of the entries, including the sponsored links will reveal fax to email companies or an up and coming crop of hosted fax server solutions. These are all viable options and represent components of Cloud Faxing. etherFAX redefines the term Cloud Faxing by giving clients the best of both worlds with the addition of a multi-level encryption/security system known as a "defense-in-depth" conceived by the National Security Agency (NSA).
