Get ahead in business with Red Hat Virtualization

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 04:21:11 GMT

*Red Hat introduces its virtualization portfolio with HP.*

Red Hat has built the base for its impressive virtualization portfolio, together with partners like HP, in the Open Virtual Alliance. This alliance promotes the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).
» Read more

The virtualization market has matured in recent years. Many industry leaders now focus on a multi-vendor approach to virtualization, looking to improve on cost per performance and virtualizing workloads not possible to virtualize before.

Most of the workloads running on top of existing virtualization solutions are Windows based. Many enterprises merely introduced virtualization off their Linux workloads. There is high leverage in now attacking Linux server consolidation.

KVM includes virtualization in the Linux Kernel, leveraging the broad certification of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System on top, for example: ISV-Software. For instance, SAP will automatically run both the virtualization on the Linux Kernel and the aforementioned Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS on bare metal—and also be certified on RHEV. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) is the management framework for KVM and ensures both security and scalability.

Red Hat's subscription-based business model allows for unprecedented flexibility and spares customers' license costs, offering fast-growing virtualization environments and efficient economics.

It has to protect against viruses, malware, phishing, directory harvest, denial of service, bounceback attacks, and zero-hour threats. And now, more than ever, it has to be diligent about spam filtering. Spammers need only one response in 1.25 million to keep the spam business profitable, giving them plenty of incentive to continue and giving you a critical reason to ensure you’ve got the best email filter in place. *Web Security* With McAfee web security offerings, available on premise or delivered as a service, mid-sized companies get enterprise-class protection that’s both manageable and affordable. Plus, these organizations get the benefit of a global threat community that’s always looking out for them — addressing web risks from every angle, blocking malicious web content, and thwarting unknown and hidden attacks, blended threats, and spyware. *McAfee Network Security Platform* Network Security Platform (NSP) is the industry’s most secure network intrusion prevention system (IPS). Backed by McAfee Labs, it protects customers on average 80 days ahead of the threat. It blocks attacks in real time, before they can cause damage, and protects every network-connected device. With NSP, you can automatically manage risk and enforce compliance — while improving operational efficiency and reducing IT efforts.

*Controlling and Monitoring Change* Change control processes are often reactive and require manual responses, an ineffective approach to combating today’s threats and handling the growing number of devices in the IT infrastructure. The Security Connected approach from McAfee ensures that every desktop, server, application, network device, and database is in the scope of a change control solution, giving you critical visibility into who is using your systems and what activities are taking place. *Enabling Consumerization of the Workforce* A flood of iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and employee-owned laptops is hitting the workplace, bringing better productivity but also new security risks. Learn how businesses can effectively and securely enable the use of consumer-owned devices in the enterprise by protecting how data is being manipulated and controlling network access across mobile devices, laptops, desktops, and virtual desktops. *Managing Security and Risk* Limit your exposure to security risks that reveal customer data and internal assets. This solution guide addresses the importance of implementing a strategic security and risk management program focused on prevention and protection — helping you reduce incidents and risks throughout your entire IT infrastructure. *Obtaining Benefit from PCI* McAfee helps enterprises take a formal, strategic approach to meeting PCI DSS requirements — an implementation that can yield other cost saving and operational benefits to the business. McAfee compliance solutions automatically assess compliance status, proactively respond to any issues or potential violations, and continuously monitor controls across the enterprise. *Protecting Information* Your company’s sensitive information, including intellectual property, financial records, and personal information about employees and customers, is an attractive target for cybercriminals. The Security Connected approach from McAfee helps you secure sensitive information on databases, file servers, smartphones, email servers, and USB drives — while keeping it accessible to multiple users and groups. *Protecting Information from Insider Threats* Don’t overlook the threats to your data and network from company insiders. To address these risks, McAfee provides a new level of visibility into your organization with security controls that work together across endpoints, networks, and data to improve incident detection, protection, and response capabilities.
