! Microsoft Adds NAP for Linux and Mac

Hi,

"Microsoft's Network Access Protection platform is being extended to Linux and the Mac in heterogeneous network environments through third-party products.
The Redmond, Wash. software maker announced at its TechEd IT Forum, here on Nov. 13, that UNETsystem will release Linux and Macintosh versions of its Anyclick for NAP (Network Access Protection) product next year.

Avenda Systems will release the Avenda Linux Network Access Protection Agent, which extends NAP technology to network endpoints running Linux, while Celestix Networks has developed an appliance for delivering the NAP policy-enforcement platform. These new appliances will hit the market shortly after Windows Server 2008 is released in February 2008."
