Bitdefender, a leading global cybersecurity technology company
protecting 500 million users worldwide, helps enterprises implementing
Software-Defined Datacenter (SDDC) technologies safeguard
infrastructures, while promoting its agility, efficiency and
performance. As the datacenter undergoes major transformation, moving
away from legacy siloed hardware-centric systems, there is a need for
security solutions that ensure enterprises extract maximum value from
SDDC deployments.
Bitdefender's security platform, GravityZone, is
designed to simplify security operations and minimize impact on
infrastructure resources, while delivering adaptive layered
next-generation defenses. The platform enables centralized security
manageability for physical, virtual on-premise and cloud machines,
maximizing virtualization density to reduce infrastructure costs and
minimizing latency to improve user experience.
"In today's rapidly
transforming landscape, infosec teams have to get more efficient to stay
effective," advises Eric Hanselman, Chief Analyst at 451 Research.
"Modern security solutions require tighter integration with
infrastructure and operational systems to keep up with scale and agility
demands. Bitdefender's datacenter security technology and long history
of partnerships puts it in an interesting position in what it can
offer."
Bitdefender is a VMware Technology Alliance Partner and
Bitdefender GravityZone, as a certified VMware Ready Networking and
Security solution, tightly integrates with the VMware suite, supporting
agentless deployments, security automation and streamlined manageability
through the vSphere® Web Client. With NSX support for both Windows and
Linux clients, GravityZone provides comprehensive security coverage for
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and servers regardless of the
operating system. In addition, GravityZone supports a seamless
transition from VMware vCNS to NSX.
"In an environment of incessant
cyber-attacks, an organization's ability to protect datacenter workloads
and prevent breaches is as important as maximizing the return on the
infrastructure investment. Enterprises invest in Software-Defined
Datacenter technologies to gain operational agility and efficiency,
while maximizing the performance and utilization of their datacenter
infrastructure," said Harish Agastya vice president, Enterprise
Solutions at Bitdefender.
He went on to say, "However, many
datacenter security solutions on the market today force businesses to
choose between security efficacy and datacenter performance. At
Bitdefender, we ensure customers achieve both with our award-winning
layered next-generation datacenter security that is built on an
efficient, agile and scalable architecture."
