EMC announces a new series of solutions, products and services designed to increase the potential of: new technology capabilities along with a consulting service, a guide for the application EMC® management and security controls for virtual desktop environments.
"VMware View ™ has revolutionized the concept of how companies can manage desktops and how they can be delivered as a managed service," said Jocelyn Goldfein, vice president and general manager, Desktop Business Unit, VMware "Together with EMC, we created a set of services and solutions for storage magazines, information security to help companies increase agility and speed while at the same time, the cost of ownership. "
The EMC storage infrastructure for Vmare View The combination of unified storage EMC and VMware View Composer products make it easy for customers to implement virtual desktops at a competitive price compared to traditional ones; Furthermore, it increases operational efficiency, reduces costs, provides high reliability and flexibility that increases the overall value of their business. Efficiency and cost reduction are the principles at the basis of products and EMC technologies, such as the deduplicazioni of data and flash disks for companies. The completion of EMC solutions with VMware View creates an optimized infrastructure with high levels of reliability and disaster recovery capabilities. Exploiting the 'over IP' PC you get an even more solid and durable desktop to the end user.
For companies and government organizations that wish to take advantage of the expertise of VMware View ™ - enhanced with part EMC - a consulting service is provided which optimizes the timing of the project, guarantees results and integrates the best technologies. A concrete example was provided at VMworld 2009, a project of a client for the protection of intellectual property which integrated VMware View Composer, VMware vCenter ™ Site Recovery Manager and EMC Replication, a turnkey solution for disaster recovery of client virtual.
"Desktop virtualization provides a quantum leap in the control, management and security compared to traditional models and in laptop environments. EMC and VMware are working together to efficiency, management, agility and safety to the customer, "said Chad Sakac, EMC Vice President, VMware Technology Alliance" With this alliance we want to support our customers in the transition and to easily expand their virtual desktops with lower level risk. "
The new solutions from RSA, the security division of EMC Securing endpoints - laptops and desktops for example - reducing risks, such as accidental data loss, theft or unauthorized access to sensitive information: this is the challenge of 'IT. Another important development EMC bid to combat these risks is the RSA Solution for VMware View, an integrated set of RSA and EMC, together with VMware View Ionix® which technologies increase the security and management of virtulizzati desktop. As part of the solution, RSA announced the availability of RSA SecurBook ™ for VMware View solution that provides detailed guidance for the implementation and management of security controls in hosted environments to virtual desktop level. More specifically it is providing guidance for the business integration of RSA® Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint, RSA enVision, RSA SecurID® and EMC Ionix Server Configuration Manager in VMware View environments."The RSA SecureBook is a conceptual guide designed for business users to understand the need for endpoint security in virtual desktop and to help bridge the gap between business and security professionals," said Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, author of the new white paper "Desktop Virtualization Management, and Security". "The guide helps business process for maximizing the business benefits and security of virtual desktop environments." By integrating RSA listed the key new features:
• Ensuring the confidentiality of the data: As part of the VMware View solution, RSA addresses the risk of sensitive data loss by integrating the RSA DLP Suite. Particularly with RSA DLP Endpoint, administrators can configure data detection policies in order to identify sensitive information and implement controls on all corporate workstations centrally.
• Monitor security events and demonstrate the adaptation to the legislation: the platform RSA enVision security information and event management (SIEM) offers the ability to track user activities and Administrator within VMware View. RSA envision is designed to monitor and report to the VMware vSphere ™ environments, improving decision-making skills in the security sector based on a more accurate and timely security intelligence.
• Creating trusted identities: RSA SecurID two-factor identification provides an additional level of security to ensure access to the relevant virtual session by the user authorized in addition to most of the content in virtual desktop environments. Specifically, RSA SecurID is designed to integrate with VMware View to enable users strong authentication to the VMware View portal and to protect administrative access to VMware ESX Service Console.
EMC Ionix Server Configuration Manager (SCM) has been documented RSA SecurBook to support change management and configuration of VMware View environments. EMC Ionix SCM offers organizations tools to automate the process of identifying configuration changes that violate policy, thus reducing the security risks. The software is designed to monitor virtual desktops, automatically send alerts and to resolve configuration problems when systems need to be regulated to ensure compliance or to guarantee a certain level of service. EMC Ionix SCM combines discovery activities, policy management, change / remediation, and reporting activities to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, ensure security, to have configurations in accordance with and up to date on the physical desktop and virtual and servers.
EMC consulting and Delivery Expertise Services Virtual Desktop Infrastructure from EMC Consulting help companies to reduce desktop management costs while improving the delivery of services. The EMC Consulting services support customers in planning an effective strategy for desktop virtualization and architecture, to develop business justifications for certain initiatives through 'proof of concept' and pilot projects in order to create enterprise architectures with solid administrative management, enhanced security and business continuity. Virtual desktop infrastructure provides greater business agility, improves user response times and allows the company access from any device - unlike traditional desktop technologies.
