Bob, no announcement has been made regarding end-of-life of Network Sensor for the Solaris platform. In general, when ISS discontinues selling a particular product or platform, technical support, bug fixes, and content subscriptions continue for years after. The reason for this long end-of-sale period is to mitigate costs to customers and reduce the urgency with which customers must migrate.
===================== Jordan Blake - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Product Manager Network Protection Solutions Internet Security Systems - The Power to Protect ===================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shih, Robert Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 6:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ISSForum] EOSL (End of Sale Life) of network sensor running on Solaris ! Hi all, I have been informed by ISS that they are going to EOSL of network sensor on Solaris from 1st quarter of 2004! After that, the only supported platforms will be Windows, Linux(red hat only) and of course their appliance Proventia (at $10,000 for entry level Proventia Series A) Currently, all our network sensors run on Solaris which are found to be stable and doing their job fine. Migration from the nearly brand new Solaris platforms to any of the new platforms (W2K, Linux, Proventia) will undoubtedly incur huge investment that cannot be justified. It will be interesting to hear what you (ISS users) think about this. Regards. Bob PLEASE READ: The information contained in this email is confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
