Lakeside Software today announced that Lakeside Software SysTrack solutions have been awarded the Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) from the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command.

This accreditation ensures Lakeside Software SysTrack products meet strict U.S. Army and Department of Defense (DoD) standards for security, compatibility and sustainability. This enables government departments to provide automated, comprehensive pre-virtualization analysis, assessment, modeling, planning and end user experience management support for enterprises and data centers while remaining compliant with U.S. military IT standards.

The CoN is required for all enterprise software products in the Army Enterprise Infrastructure Network. The certification also applies to all National Guard, Army Reserve and DoD organizations that use the Army Enterprise Infrastructure Network.

"Government entities can realize the benefits of flexible, cost-effective virtualization assessment, planning and end user experience management to take advantage of virtualization for both VDI and server infrastructures," said Mike Spray, Director, Corporate Alliances, Lakeside Software. "The DoD certification recognizes Lakeside Software SysTrack solutions for their high scalability, manageability and security."

The SysTrack product suite addresses the full spectrum of planning and management needs involved in adoption of desktop virtualization. The process of virtualizing desktops is a complex undertaking that involves many disciplines. The market uptake of desktop virtualization is limited by the slow planning cycles typical of manual processes, slow adoption rate due to unquantified risk and overall “mystery” in achieving successful VDI projects.

Lakeside Software offers an integrated tool suite that provides VDI assessment, VDI capacity planning, virtualization modeling and predictive analysis, migration planning, storage throughput and space planning, power planning, firewall and latency analysis, user and application behavior analysis, pooled desktop / image planning and application virtualization compatibility analysis. Real-world desktop virtualization projects require multi-disciplinary analysis of a wide range of criteria to create comprehensive plans.

The SysTrack solutions deliver immediate insight into the enterprise with software features such as the SysTrack Site Visualizer that help clients identify how to maximize ROI in VDI and Server virtualization projects to align with dynamic business changes and cost reduction goals. The solution is part of the key building blocks for Lakeside Software virtualization offering, which enables clients and government agencies to capitalize on virtualization cost savings within their infrastructure.
