Boston - September 16, 2009 - IT security and
data protection vendor Sophos today announced that its
industry-recognized
anti-malware technology, Sophos Anti-Virus, will be offered free for
one year to HP Integrity server customers who select Sophos for
comprehensive protection against the latest viruses and other
malware threats. Unlike many vendors' anti-malware solutions,
Sophos supports all platforms that run on HP Integrity servers1 -
UNIX, Linux, Windows and OpenVMS - in one all-inclusive
license.
"We are pleased to offer Sophos Anti-Virus to HP customers to
help them proactively protect their Integrity servers against the
latest malware threats," said Mike McGuinness, senior vice
president, worldwide sales and field operations at Sophos. "With
support for the broadest range of platforms, including all HP
Integrity servers, customers who select Sophos Anti-Virus will
benefit from complete, easy-to-manage, cross-platform malware
protection from a single vendor solution."
"Customers need to protect their servers against today's
emerging threats while reducing the complexities of frequent
software updates," said Lorraine Bartlett, vice president of
marketing for Business Critical Systems at HP. "HP Integrity
servers running Sophos anti-virus
software help customers cost-effectively manage infrastructure
security, mitigate their risk and concentrate on driving business
growth."
Sophos's global network of threat analysis centers, SophosLabs™,
analyzes more than 40,000 new suspicious files everyday and
consistently creates and delivers threat protection updates around
the clock. Sophos uses unique technologies, such as
Behavioral Genotype® Protection, that expedite detection and
block unknown malware without waiting for specific detection to be
made available.
To qualify for this one year free Sophos Anti-Virus offer, HP
Integrity server resellers and their customers must register
here using a provided
promotional code and valid HP Integrity Server serial number.
Sophos Anti-Virus is backed by 24x7x365 technical support that
is available at no additional cost. HP Integrity server customers
who require or prefer enhanced support beyond the standard phone,
email and web support can upgrade to Premium support at a fixed
price.
