  • Accton Technology last week announced its ES4550 LAN switch. The box has 28 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four small form-factor, pluggable slots for interchangeable copper or fiber ports. It also supports two optional 10G Ethernet ports for high-speed uplinks to a data center or LAN backbone switch. The vendor says the switch-on-a-chip architecture of the ES4550, using silicon from Agere, also makes the box one-third the size of competitive stackable switches - and run cooler than other switches. The ES4550 is scheduled to ship in November priced at $2,000.
  • ActivCard has announced SecureLogin Single Sign-On Version 5.5, the first version of its SSO software since it acquired Australia-based competitor Protocom Development Systems last month. ActivCard says the SecureLogin SSO v.5 is a wholesale change to Protocom's underlying technology, with the ActivCard GUI. Existing ActivCard customers are offered a swap-out, while new customers will pay $79 per seat.
  • NetIQ last week announced it has added security policy templates that reflect the Federal Information Security Management Act guidelines to the NetIQ Security Compliance Suite, which is used for vulnerability management and security monitoring of servers. The FISMA guidelines are issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to direct federal agencies on how to manage risk within their IT environments. The NetIQ Security Compliance Suite costs $1,120 for server software.
