Channel Manager

The momentum behind virtualization will continue to drive the evolution of cloud services. Failure to adequately address the news security risks and compliance considerations associated with virtualization will result in more stalled virtualization initiatives, more “material deficiencies” discovered during audits, and more compromised virtual environments. vCenter fails to adequately address the security and compliance requirements that have begun materializing as organizations virtualize Tier 1 and sensitive (ex DMZ, PCI, SOX, HIPPA) applications. The acceleration of virtual desktop initiatives and use of 3^rd party contractors further complicates matters due to the need to extend access rights but limit privileges of individuals administrating these environments.

HyTrust empowers organizations to fully leverage their investment in virtualization by delivering enterprise-class controls for access, accountability, and visibility.

The HyTrust Appliance has received the most prestigious recognition in the emerging market for virtualization management and security, including VMWorld 2009 Best of Show, VMWorld 2009 Gold Award, TechTarget 2009 Product of The Year, RSA Innovation Sandbox 2010 Finalist, SC Magazine 2010 Rookie Company of the Year, Network World Ten Startups To Watch in 2010 and InfoWorld Ten Tech Companies to Know in 2010.
