The real question I have is what defines an IPS product versus an IDS..
IDS 
is obvious, but IPS, it is a very tough definition

Intrusion DETECTION system

Intrusion PREVENTION system

Seems fairly fundamental to me...I think I know what you are trying to
say though, keep referring back to the word prevention :)
