New Certification Enables Customers to Confidently Add Market-Leading
Security to Converged Infrastructure
Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO:
4704; TSE:
4704), a global leader in security software and solutions, today
announced Trend Micro™ Deep Security is now certified as a VCE™
Validation Ready™ solution through the VCE
Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. The TAP program is
designed for independent software vendors, hardware manufacturers,
virtual appliance vendors and other technology providers seeking to
simplify and accelerate their solutions for deployment with VCE Vblock®
Systems.
“We are excited to strengthen our partnership with VCE through the VCE
Validation Ready program as we continue our history of providing
best-of-breed protection from Deep
Security, a comprehensive security platform, to protect the leading
converged and hyper-converged systems in the world,” said Partha Panda,
vice president, global channels and strategic alliances, Trend Micro.
“With Deep Security, VCE Vblock System customers can focus on their
business rather than worrying about their IT Infrastructure with the
peace of mind that they are protected by the market leader in server
security.”1
VCE Vblock
Systems provide rapid deployments and dramatically lower IT costs by
offering pre-integrated, pre-tested and pre-validated IT infrastructures
that combine best-in-class compute, network, storage, data protection
and virtualization technologies from Cisco, EMC and VMware, delivered as
a single product with unified support. The VCE Validation Ready
certification validates Deep Security to work optimally for all the key
use cases and reassures customers that the converged solution provides
key compliance capabilities that can assist with HIPAA, PCI, and other
compliance frameworks.
Building on a history of being the first certified Vblock Ready™ content
security solution in 2012, Deep Security provides market-leading
security for physical, virtual and cloud servers from a single
comprehensive platform, featuring centralized administration and
reporting capabilities. This tightly integrated security solution
includes both system and network security controls to address the
protection of virtual workloads. Leveraging the Trend Micro™ Smart
Protection Network, Deep Security helps to defend against
vulnerabilities such as Shellshock and Heartbleed, ensuring that
organizations can focus on running their business instead of constantly
dealing with emergency patching for new vulnerabilities.
Optimized for virtual and cloud environments, Deep Security enables
customers to scale securely without compromising on performance and
agility. The platform can also help customers meet compliance and audit
requirements, as outlined in a recently
published whitepaper by independent auditor CoalFire. Through years
of joint innovation with industry-leading organizations, Deep Security
has developed comprehensive security that supports and fully integrates
with key virtualization offerings, including VMware vSphere, NSX, and
Horizon, Citrix XenDesktop, and key enterprise applications such as SAP
and Oracle.
“We are pleased to welcome Trend Micro into the VCE Validation Ready
program,” said DJ Long, senior director, Technology Alliances and
Business Development, VCE. “As a VCE Validation Ready solution, Trend
Micro Deep Security can be integrated with Vblock Systems, delivering
transformative data center solutions and key compliance capabilities for
mutual customers that enable the agility, simplicity and economics of
converged infrastructure with Trend Micro’s expertise in cloud, data
center and virtualization security.”
VCE works with Superna™
to conduct and administer the VCE Validation Ready and Vblock Ready™
certifications for the VCE TAP program members. These certifications
enable mutual channel partners and customers to accelerate adoption of
Vblock Systems while leveraging Deep Security to protect their
workloads. Furthermore, joint partners, customers and prospects can test
their own configurations and applications, protected by Deep Security,
using a remote POC that leverages the remotely accessible VCE Validation
Ready test bed at Superna.
