    hi,

    Codename "Stirling" is a management console for your existing security softwares. You can manage your all security softwares from one console. it provides central management of your all existing security softwares, reporting, real time monitoring, dynamic answering etc...

    and as you said FS for Exchange Server,FS for sharepoint, FS TMG 2010 are system requirements for Codename "Stirling"... before installing Stirling you must install these security applications on your system.

    and then with Stirling you will manage all of them from one management console and will deliver unified security management and reporting with comprehensive, coordinated protection across client, server applications, and network edge.

    *** With each additional scan engine used, more memory is needed per scanning process.

    Thanks Mumin,

    I was thinking that it already contains those products, my mistake :)

    Now I have 1 more questions.

    Question. If "Stirling" is a management console then what is the need of another product "Server Security Management Console". Is SSMC (server security management console) a subset of "Stirling" ?

    I read the datasheet.

    I also tried to find out the difference between "Stirling" and FFSSMC. But could not find any comparison between them (except FFSSMC can not be installed on 64 bit.  Requirement shows it's for Windows server 2003 )

    Once again thanks for your help.
