its next-generation network edge security product,
Forefront Threat Management Gateway. Forefront Threat
Management Gateway is the future version of Microsoft
ISA Server and will extend the capabilities of ISA
Server 2006 with new features and security technologies,

Here are the Forefront Threat Management
Gateway system requirements :
As you can see,
Forefront Threat Management Gateway can be only
installed on Windows Server 2008 64bit operating system,
and can not be installed on a 32bit OS. So if you are
planning to purchase new servers, its the right time to
invest in a 64bit hardware, specially that Windows Server
2008 is the last server operating system that will
support 32bit architecture.
