    Is there any plans to Symantec Endpoint Proteciton support Itanium-based Systems in the future?

    Maybe MR6 or SEP12 ?

    I belive the last client Symantec had that supported IA64 was SAV 9. I don't suspect IA64 support coming back in symantec products. Thought they do now support EMT64.

    I am hearing that SEP will not have Itanium support in the future.

    For some reason there are no end-of-support-life dates for SAV 10.0 thru 10.2..

    How much longer will SAV be supported, given that SEP has been out for well over 2 years now?  Perhaps now is the time for Symantec to update the SAV end-of-support dates.

    SAV 10.2 is the current version supporting Intel Itanium.
