Are you attending VMworld 2017 in Las Vegas, NV? If so, I invite you to add Bitdefender to your MUST SEE list of vendors.
With so many vendors exhibiting at VMworld, how do you know which booths
to visit
and who to get on your busy schedule? One of the companies on VMblog's
list this year is Bitdefender. VMblog recently spoke with Bitdefender at Citrix Synergy 2017. VMware users are going to want to see and learn more about GravityZone Datacenter Security while at VMworld.
Read this exclusive pre-show interview with Bitdefender to learn what they have planned for the
upcoming VMworld 2017 event.
VMblog: Is there anything unique about this
year's VMworld booth setup? Do you have a theme?
Bitdefender: The theme for this
year's event is Maximize Infrastructure Agility and Performance with Security
Built for the Software-Defined Datacenter. We want to be sure we illustrate to
attendees that as datacenter technology evolves, there is a need for security
solutions that ensure enterprises extract maximum value from SDDC deployments.
VMblog: Can you give readers a few reasons why your
product or service is considered unique?
Bitdefender: Bitdefender
GravityZone Datacenter Security is engineered from the ground up for
software-defined datacenter. It delivers award-winning layered next-generation
defenses while promoting datacenter agility, performance and operational
efficiency. GravityZone is the only security solution on the market certified
as VMware® Ready for both Windows® and Linux clients.
VMblog: Why should a VMworld attendee add you to their MUST-SEE
list?
Bitdefender: Infrastructure and operations
leaders should not have to choose between security and datacenter
performance. We can show enterprises a better way that both datacenter and
security teams will appreciate.
VMblog: Can you give VMblog
readers a sneak peek as to what you will be showing off at your booth this
year? What should attendees expect to see and hear at your booth?
Bitdefender: We will be
demonstrating security automation with VMware NSX and hold live presentations
in our booth enabling attendees to learn about security innovation for the
datacenter rooted in best practices for securing VMware infrastructure while
promoting its efficiency and agility. Attendees are invited to stop by the
booth to have their name entered to win a Lego® Star Wars Snow Speeder.
VMblog: How does your company and product fit within the
VMware ecosystem?
Bitdefender: GravityZone is a
VMware Ready solution that runs on ESXi hypervisor, integrates with vShield
Endpoint and NSX for agentless deployments, and can be managed directly from
the vSphere console.
VMblog: What do you think we need to do
collectively as an ecosystem to strengthen the industry?
Bitdefender: Bitdefender's
mission is to Innovate while making technology simple to manage and easy to
adopt. If all of us in the ecosystem work toward this goal, it will would be
further strengthened and supportive of organizations' needs.
VMblog: Does your company have any speaking sessions
during the show? If so, can you give us the who, what, when and where?
Bitdefender: We are conducting a
joint presentation with our customer, Saint Francis Healthcare System, to share
best practices for securing SDDC workloads while promoting the efficiency of
security operations. Our session will take place at the VMworld Solutions
Exchange Theater on Wednesday, August 30 at 10:20 am.
