Pegasos Guardian

Kirjoittaja Viesti   Janne Maanantaina, 24. marraskuuta, 2003 - klo 16.50:    ") Target "geek" market -- _sell boards_, progressively improve MorphOS, attract other operating system communities and developers by supporting ports/developments to the Pegasos, refine the Business Plan, and widen the sphere of interest outside of the Amiga Community to the Linux and BSD markets where commercial opportunities exist. Example: the Pegasos Guardian (which goes on sale this week). Here is a portion of the Press Release: Genesi's first commercial product based on the Pegasos is designed to support the security infrastructure requirements of Fortune 1000 companies and large institutions. The Pegasos-Guardian handles the following security needs: 1. Border protection of networks. 2. Proactive protection of network assets. 3. Logging/Auditing of all suspicious network traffic. "IT Managers need to be able to tell exactly what happens on their networks, and why. The Guardian gives you a very high level of control, said Bill Buck, of Genesi. "Most of the office and network infrastructure in use are x86 based, and most of the machines that are at risk of compromise are x86 based as well. It is safer to run a different processor platform that is not susceptible to the common buffer overflow exploits that are the main entry point for crack attempts." Genesi developed the Guardian with partners ShopIP (www.shopip.com) and Diginexus (www.diginexus.com). The interface design and border-level protection is based on the acclaimed ShopIP Crunchbox. Proactive protection is based on the security scanning features of Nessus (www.nessus.org) and the internal invisible IDS scanning features were developed and contributed by Diginexus. Buck added, "This collaborative effort is an example of the partnerships we expect to develop in the months ahead and indicative of the many and varied potential uses for an open, powerful and efficient hardware platform." The Pegasos-Guardian will make its public debut with ShopIP and Diginexus at Infosecurity 2003, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NY. December 8-11, in Booth 126 and will be distributed by Pegasos Resellers and IBM Business Partners worldwide. ====etc.==== 2) Target mass markets in partnership with MUCH larger organizations. Genesi is an IBM Global Business Partner and is listed in the Global Business Partner Directory -- http://www.ibm.com/Search?v=11&lang=en&cc=us&q=Genesi -- the Pegasos, MorphOS, PegXLin, and OpenBSD for PegasosPPC all carry the "Ready for IBM Technology" logo. We will have more on this next week. In the meanwhile, MorphOS slides under the "radar screen." OS4 could too. 3) MorphOS moves into consumer electronics products and the mobile arena. Hope you see the direction better now and thanks for giving us the chance to answer your questions...;-) R&B" http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=...&start=1&65
