ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — IBM ( IBM) today introduced IBM Virtual Server Security for VMware® vSphere(TM), a software product designed to help organizations secure and protect their virtual server infrastructure. The software will help safeguard virtual server environments and allows businesses a more secure path for transitioning critical assets to virtual enterprise data centers.

The rate of adoption for virtualization is growing as companies consolidate their data centers. IBM has been working with clients to manage this strategic shift and simplify and optimize client infrastructures. While the migration to virtual environments offers many benefits, it also requires businesses to take unique measures to combat the next generation of security threats and compliance challenges. These measures are required because of reduced visibility and control that come with the addition of more information technology layers. Given this changing landscape, traditional security made for physical computing environments becomes inadequate as a sole solution.

This is an exciting development, anything IBM can do to further the security in the virtualization space has to be a good thing in terms of the virtualization platform, and the end user community alike. It’s great to see that Virtual Server Security secures all the different elements of the virtualization layer.  I’m off to read up more about their offering, it’s great to see, I wonder if it has any integration with their IBM Director tool, and to see any options for managing user access or rights assignment, in terms of granting reporting and access to the different business sponsors and user groups.
