Collaboration supports growth of VMware NSX adoption with increased
interoperability with Trend Micro Deep Security
As organizations seek a comprehensive approach to transition seamlessly
and securely to the cloud, Trend
Micro International (TYO:
4704; TSE:
4704), a global leader in security software and solutions, today
announced a global agreement to expand its strategic alliance with
VMware. This partnership helps customers to accelerate and maximize
investment in VMware
NSX™, and realize advanced security, speed, agility and operational
efficiency with Trend
Micro™ Deep Security™.
“This is a natural and exciting evolution of our long-standing
relationship with VMware, which reinforces the use of Deep Security to
deliver comprehensive security for mutual customers,” said Partha Panda,
vice president of global channels and strategic alliances, Trend Micro.
“With this new agreement, Trend Micro is better positioned to address
the needs of organizations that are adopting a software-defined data
center and VMware NSX network virtualization while helping ensure the
success of our mutual customers and partners.”
This agreement builds on established interoperability and a history of
innovation, to better position and more easily deliver the combined
solution to customers through coordinated sales and market development
activities. This includes single item ordering both directly and through
channel partners. Customer issues will be resolved more quickly and
efficiently through an enhanced shared support escalation process.
As demonstrated through the success of mutual customers on a global
basis, customers leverage the combined power of VMware NSX and Deep
Security to build and secure hybrid cloud deployments with layered,
unit-level protection, unified policies and single-pane-of-glass
management. Additionally, the solution simplifies and automates workload
lifecycles, and further reduces the attack surface in VDI environments
through isolation and segmentation of traffic, while maximizing
consolidation ratios. Automated deployment and provisioning of Deep
Security components with VMware NSX allows organizations to address key
regulatory and compliance requirements, separate tenant policies and
data, and support elastic cloud scaling.
“Trend Micro has a long track-record of delivering security solutions
that have been designed to fully leverage and complement VMware
solutions,” said Chris King, vice president of product marketing,
networking and security business unit at VMware. “The interoperability
of Deep Security with VMware NSX, as well as our collaboration on
support and product efficiencies, support customers’ ability to more
quickly, fully and confidently realize the full benefits of the
software-defined data center.”
Global organizations are benefitting today from Trend Micro’s
collaboration with VMware:
“Our mission is to deliver true security outcomes for our customers,”
said Armor founder and CEO Chris Drake. “This objective is ingrained in
every Armor initiative and forms the foundation of our secure
multi-cloud environments. The VMware NSX and Trend Micro solutions offer
powerful core capabilities to support this. It’s only with collaborative
partners like Trend Micro that we’re able to actively defend data
workloads, critical applications and sensitive environments.”
At VMworld® 2015, Trend Micro will offer demos, as well as other
security offerings (Booth 1505). To provide real world insight and
customer experiences, subject matter experts will present a variety of
sessions:
