HP will release virus-throttling support--likely as part of an add-on pack--for ProLiant servers running Windows 2000 and 2003 in early 2005. At the same time, it will release a version for its ProCurve network switching equipment. The software is undergoing Windows compatibility testing now, Redmond said.
Redmond declined to say when a PC version of the software might be released. It's in testing at HP Labs but, unlike the server version, is not in use as part of HP computing operations. He also declined to say whether a Linux version of the software would be coming, but said he hoped one would be released. Nothing technological stands in the way of a Linux version; indeed, prototypes were first shown on Linux.
