With desktop virtualization rapidly becoming a means to empowering the next generation workforce, Dell Services today announced a strategic agreement with Liquidware Labs to enable simplified and accelerated customer migrations to virtualized desktops within customer environments both onsite and in the cloud.

In this alliance, Liquidware Labs will provide virtual desktop assessment software as well as migration and monitoring tools to enable Dell Services to transition tens of thousands of customer desktops into virtual desktop environments.

Dell Services will use Liquidware Labs Stratusphere and ProfileUnity software to assess existing customer desktops, migrate user data and documents to virtual desktop environments, centrally configure the new desktops and provide service-level assurance through detailed user experience reports. This gives integrators and administrators an “on-ramp” and ongoing user management of new desktop platforms.

The software also will enable Dell Services to speed adoption and help lower the cost of rolling out new desktop technologies such as VMware View, Citrix XenDesktop and Microsoft Windows 7.

Dell Services guides customers through the complete lifecycle of virtual desktop services including: consulting, implementation, transformation and operations. With its deep industry expertise, Dell Services helps customers make the most beneficial use of cloud and virtual technologies, enabling customers to achieve the level of virtualization that best meets their needs.

By offering cloud, virtual and dedicated environments designed to meet security and regulatory compliance requirements, Dell Services enables customers to focus on achieving business success. In a virtualized desktop environment, an end user’s data and applications are delivered from a centralized server, giving customers outstanding flexibility to centralize and control desktop management while enjoying the experience of a full PC. This service can ease administration, help improve both productivity and security controls and help customers lower costs.

Catbird, and HyTrust have announced integration of the HyTrust Appliance with Catbird’s vSecurity.

HyTrust provides control and compliance for host machines by analyzing, authorizing and creating an audit trail for all virtualization administration operations and enforcing correct host configuration; while Catbird proactively secures the virtual network and guest operating systems by analyzing and responding to network events and attack, and enforcing correct VM configuration.

Together, the integrated solution delivers end-to-end security protection and control for all aspects of the virtualized data center—especially critical for organizations in the public sector and regulated commercial industries.

The combined solution provides centralized access control; network monitoring; granular object-based policy management; hypervisor security configuration; zones of trust and firewalling; IPS/IDS and log aggregation in a comprehensive package that enables total visibility and control for virtual machines and hypervisors.

Incorporating HyTrust data into Catbird’s framework provides broad IT documentation and reporting features on the compliance posture of the virtualized data center. Accessible from a single dashboard interface, the aggregated information provides access to more controls than any other solution on the market. This seamless visibility simplifies auditing and reporting processes for regulators and security directors charged with monitoring compliance changes in the migration from physical to virtualized networks.
