In a move to expand its security and management product lines, Microsoft announced Wednesday the release of its Forefront Client Security and System Center Essentials 2007.

As previously reported, Forefront Client Security is designed to protect corporate PCs, laptops and servers from spyware, viruses and rootkits.

System Center Essentials, meanwhile, is designed for midsize businesses and aims to allow IT managers to view and manage company servers, clients, hardware, software and services from a single console.

Microsoft had previously said it would also release the System Center Virtual Machine Manager and System Center Service Manager for larger enterprise users.
