Symbiot today announced the general availability of its Intelligent Security Infrastructure Management Systems platform, which it says is the "next evolution in information security." Based on Apple's Xserve G5 platform, Symbiot's iSIMS (intelligent SIMS) platform is designed to interoperate with existing network infrastructure, such as VPNs, firewalls, intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems. It builds a framework of risk over time that can be used to model the threats associated with maintaining your network operations. A subscription to Symbiot's iSIMS includes hardware (Xserve G5), software, service and support for the term of the agreement.

its a security appliance, nobody ever said large corps are going to drop their current servers for this. From my understanding, it actually attacks the attackers. This is helpful for large companies that are targets of DOS attacks.

I dont even know if its running OS X Server on it. If it was, than thats pretty cool. Most windows admins that have seen X Server in action have been impressed at many of its features. Does that mean they are going to ditch all their servers in their datacenter? hell no, butit does help apple in their move to expand into the enterprise market.
