Align your information infrastructure—from storage and backup, to management, security, and disaster recovery—to accelerate the value of VMware.

Maximize VMware with EMC

A private cloud is a dynamic, flexible, IT infrastructure providing IT services on

demand. It further has the ability to leverage external cloud service provider

resources as an extension of your cloud resources. What’s more, you define

your information’s service levels—whether in the internal cloud or in the exter-

nal cloud—while maintaining control and security of your computing assets.

In short, your organization “owns” the applications and data regardless of the

location or ownership of the physical infrastructure.

More important, since your mix of resources can change moment to moment,

dynamic workload allocation resources are enabled when they are needed and

where they are needed. Infrastructure can now be offered as a service enabling

greater efficiency, control, and more choices than ever before.

The first step in your journey to the private cloud vision is clearly to virtualize

as much as possible, as fast as possible. EMC and VMware® work closely

together to ensure you have the solutions and services necessary to accelerate

your data center virtualization projects and your journey to the private cloud.

EMC IT: Total virtualization in 2010

With a large multi-national IT operation to run, EMC faces many of the same IT issues as our customers. To solve these challenges, we use VMware virtualization technology together with our own information infrastructure.

For example, power-hungry servers and application growth were straining our IT infrastructure and our core data center was nearing capacity. We needed a $30M upgrade to add more power and cooling capacity. To avoid these major capital costs, significant storage consolidation and server virtualization projects have been initiated to extend the data center’s useful life.

To date, we’ve benefited by:

• Reducing data center space, power, and cooling by $8M (over five years)

• Avoiding $2M in infrastructure costs

• Decreasing CO2 by 59,821,624 lbs

• Delaying a $30M data center upgrade by four years

• Cutting tape expenses from $1M/yr to $25K/yr

• Eliminating half the number of storage systems while tripling capacity

Secure your virtual environment with solutions from RSA and VMwareIn virtual environments, information is particularly fluid and easily shared. While this has facilitated

greater operational flexibility and efficiencies and enabled companies to greatly improve responsive-

ness to business needs, it has also raised concerns about data security—especially in sensitive areas

such as the desktop or in messaging environments.

To help you maximize the advantages of virtualization anywhere in your data center without compro-

mising security or compliance, RSA®, The Security Division of EMC is building serveral security solu-

tions for VMware virtualization. Based on an information-centric approach to security, these solutions

will help you significantly reduce your security risks from desktop to server and beyond.

Collaboration between RSA and VMware has resulted in the ongoing integration of RSA’s industry-

leading security solutions such as RSA enVision®, RSA Authentication Manager (SecurID®), and RSA

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) with VMware technologies to support authentication, data loss preven-

tion, and compliance across virtualized environments.

EMC Consulting’s RSA Professional Services also offers the Security Assessment for Virtualized Envi-

ronments, a comprehensive consulting engagement designed to provide the expertise and best prac-

tices to protect identities, data, and systems across your entire virtualized infrastructure.

Joint development of solutions to support future advanced security functions for VMware vSphere 4

environments are underway, and delve deeper into data loss prevention, security information and

event management, and strong authentication.

How does RSA help?RSA enVision is RSA’s 3-in-1 Security Information and Event Management platform. RSA enVision

collects and analyzes log data from across the physical and virtual environment, including VMware

ESX, VMware vCenter, and VMware View Manager. RSA enVision reduces the cost of virtualization by

lowering the risk of security breach or downtime and reducing the manual effort needed to monitor

a virtual environment. RSA enVision helps organizations:

• Increase security. RSA enVision can alert when activities that are out of compliance with policy

occur, like the cloning or moving of sensitive virtual machines to unauthorized locations. RSA

enVision can also provide visibility into the activity of users from the application layer right down

to the virtualization layer.

• Streamline compliance. RSA enVision can monitor and report on all activities across the IT stack,

including the creation, cloning, and moving of virtual machines, as well as activities at the guest OS

or application layer. RSA enVision comes with pre-canned reports that map to common regulations

like PCI, as well as common control frameworks like ISO-17799 and COBIT.

• Improve network operations. Because RSA enVision captures all activity data in the IT environment,

it can be an invaluable tool in alerting to failures in the IT environment—like unexpected VM resets,

or VMs consuming too much of a resource, or troubleshooting of a root cause.

RSA Data Loss Prevention (DLP) monitors and controls the usage of sensitive data on virtual desktops

to enforce security policy.

RSA SecurID’s two-factor authentication validates the identity of users and administrators before

allowing them access to virtual desktops and VMware administrative interfaces.

Trust RSA and VMware to address your security and compliance issues

• Recognize the security implications of imple-menting virtual technologies and assess the security posture of a virtualization deploy-ment through consulting.

• Extend enterprise security controls to virtualized desktops, data centers, and applications.

• Secure virtualization technologies and the management of virtual environments with industry-leading security solutions.

• Capitalize on the unique characteristics of virtualization technologies, and implement more effective and efficient security beyond what is currently possible in a physical environment.

• Take advantage of secure cloud computing and fully realize the compelling benefits associated with a secure infrastructure-as- a-service model.
