HP and VMware Team Up To Develop and Market the First Security Technology, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Solutions For the Virtual And Cloud Environments
HP represented by Mr. Sakchai Punyajaray (right), director, HP Networking, HP Enterprise Business and VMware represented by Dr. Chawapol Jariyawiroj (left), country manager, recently announced their collaboration in developing and marketing next-generation Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solutions designed and optimized for VMware vSphere?-based virtual and cloud environments.
Extending HP’s Converged Infrastructure strategy, the collaboration is designed to build on the success of the existing HP TippingPoint IPS solution for VMware vSphere deployments, extending current integrations to new levels.
The companies aim to advance customer protection by integrating HP TippingPoint IPS with VMware vShield? and VMware vCloud Director?. Integrating the products will help enable pervasive security in the cloud by delivering unified security management, and by automating the processes of scanning, identifying threats and blocking attacks. As a result, security policies will become easier to maintain while delivering greater protection for traditional, virtualized and cloud infrastructures.
The companies also announced they are jointly marketing a hardware and software solution that combines HP TippingPoint vController with VMware vShield App and Edge protection to simplify enterprise security. The HP TippingPoint IPS vController and VMware vShield solution is a comprehensive firewall and IPS security offering that protects across physical and virtual environments.
The combined solution enables customers to deploy security policies that automatically adapt to changes in virtual environments, such as introducing a new virtual machine. It offers continuous protection of both the physical and virtual landscape from a single, integrated offering.
Additionally, the solution incorporates increased intrusion protection intelligence from HP’s security research and development organization Digital Vaccine Labs (DVLabs), delivering filters that guard against the industry’s latest malicious attacks on an ongoing basis.
HP Converged Infrastructure is central to an Instant-On Enterprise. In a world of continuous connectivity, the Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology in everything it does to serve clients, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they need, instantly.
