German company .vantronix marketed software products until 2009.[6] [7]
Due to country laws, ProCurve released different versions of their wireless access points and MultiService Access points.
The MSM Access and Mobility Controllers support security, roaming and quality of service across MSM Access Points utilising 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless technology.[8]
Most access points are designed to work in controlled mode: a controller manages and provides authentication services for them.
ProCurve Manager (PCM) is a network management suite for products by ProCurve.
ProCurve Manager comes in two versions; a base version supplied both free of charge with all managed ProCurve Products and also for download, and a "Plus" version that incorporates more advanced functionality and also enables plugin support. There is a 60-day trial version including all modules. Both derive from the trial version and need to be activated via Internet.
The Plus version can also be implemented in HP OpenView Network Node Manager for Windows. The software ProCurve Manager is predominantly for ProCurve products.
The Threat Management Services Module is based on the ProCurve ONE Module, and is primarily a firewall with additional Intrusion-prevention system and VPN capabilities[11] [12]
ProCurve have a range of Transceivers, GBICs and 10GbE optics for use within ProCurve devices.
Transceivers[13] are used in the unmanaged 2100 & 2300 series, and the managed 2500 series of switches
