Vblock Systems are pre-integrated, pre-tested and pre-validated converged infrastructures for next-generation cloud environments that combine best-in-class compute, network, storage, data protection and virtualization technologies from Cisco, EMC and VMware, delivered and supported by VCE as a single product. Vblock Ready certification is designed to provide customers with the assurance that Xceedium’s Xsuite will interoperate with Vblock Systems.

VCE works with Superna to conduct Vblock System certifications for VCE TAP program members. This certification enables mutual channel partners and customers to accelerate adoption of Vblock Systems and leverage Xceedium Xsuite for privileged identity management.

"Privileged users, and their credentials, are proven to be at the core of most security breaches," noted Glenn Hazard, Xceedium CEO. "Xsuite protects the industry's widest range of systems – including the data center, virtualized infrastructure, and the cloud – from these risks, significantly enhancing security. We're pleased to expand that protection to the growing community of VCE Vblock System customers," he added.
