"With the Bouncer 6.0 release, CoreTrace is also changing the way it delivers its technology. For previous releases, the company had a physical hardware appliance powered by an embedded Windows operating system. Starting with Bouncer 6.0, the company is moving to a software appliance model powered by Ubuntu Linux.
"Clarkson noted that CoreTrace does not have a formal business partnership with Canonical, the lead commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, though he noted that they have had discussions. The reason why the company is moving to the software appliance model is to help enable more deployment use cases for both physical and virtual enterprise networks."
