The Virtual Machine Company has begun offering Check Point Software Technologies VPN-1 VE security as an option on its pre-configured Virtualization Appliances.
This is a new development that, the company believes, overcomes the last remaining barrier to widespread adoption of virtualization of enterprise-wide, tier-one computing.
The Virtual Machine Companys high performance virtualization appliances can now be pre-secured as well as being pre-configured and fully-supported.
Until now, virtualization security has tended to flounder in muddy waters between product delivery and security specialisms.
Security value added resellers (VARs) have been healthily skeptical of virtualization, avoiding mainstream involvement. Virtualization VARs, meanwhile, have been ambivalent about security, either not fully addressing it or inappropriately patching it into existing security infrastructure.
