Endpoint Security: Become Aware of Virtual Desktop Infrastructures!
sponsored by Trend Micro
ABSTRACT:
Virtual desktops infrastructures, VDI, present IT with the unique opportunity to fundamentally improve the way desktops are purchased, deployed, managed, and secured. Organisations are attracted to VDI’s promise to reduce operating costs, provide users with wide choices of devices, improve application performance, and enhance corporate security against malware and loss of sensitive data. The benefits are compelling, with survey data showing approximately 70 percent of CIOs reporting VDI projects planned for 2010.
However, enterprises find while scaling from POC projects to full deployment that desktop security software that is not optimised for VDI causes storage and network contention that significantly degrades virtual machine densities. This white paper by the Ogren Group recommended guidelines in selecting endpoint security to help organisations preserve the benefits of VDI.
