Hewlett-Packard got ready for New York by boasting of its success in the Linux marketplace, and announcing products that will take spots in the Palo Alto, Calif. company's LinuxWorld booth.
HP pulled in more than $2.5 billion for its fiscal year 2003 from sales of Linux-based products, the printing and computing giant said Thursday, an increase of 40 percent over 2002.
To keep up the momentum, HP unveiled new disk-less workstations that tie with Linux servers running Linux Terminal Server Project, and certified several laptop and desktop models for use with SuSE's Linux distribution.
The new thin clients, dubbed the HP Compaq t5300 and t5500, are priced at $299 and $649, respectively, and are powered by Transmeta processors. The existing PCs that can now be purchased with SuSE Linux include the Compaq nc6000, nc8000, and nw8000 portables, and the Compaq D530 and D330 desktops.
Security vendor F-Secure joined the fray on Thursday by rolling out its SSH Server version 5.3 for Windows, and will strut the software in New York next week. Featuring support for Windows Services for Unix 3.5, which the Redmond, Wash.-based developer also launched Thursday, secures enterprise network traffic over Windows servers. Already compliant with the national security FIPS-140-1 standard, the server is in the process of obtaining certification with FIPS-140-2. Other new features in the updated security server include simpler file transfers, and support of RADIUS to allow better integration with other authentication services.
