TELECOMWORLDWIRE-26 June 2008-D-Link announces integration of Microsoft NAP technology in its xStack switches(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

D-Link, an end-to-end networking solutions provider, has announced the integration of Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) technology in its family of xStack switches.

Microsoft NAP is understood to be a policy enforcement technology built into the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, which allows customers to better protect network assets from unhealthy computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies.

According to the company, with the support of Microsoft NAP, D-Link xStack switches ensure that each host's access to the network is possible if they comply with IT security policies, as well as the update of anti-virus signatures and patches from the operating system. In this way, users can secure their network systems against possible infected computers and implement more effective security policies on computer networks.

No financial details were disclosed.
