igxglobal selected Altor based on the company’s comprehensive solution and established dominance in virtual security innovation. Named the “Most Innovative Company at RSA Conference 2010,” Altor provides layers of security for virtualized environments, including continuous monitoring, stateful firewalling, intrusion detection, VM introspection, compliance assessment and automated virtual machine (VM) security.
This powerful feature set delivers the highest levels of security and cloud resource isolation possible in a high – performance VMware VMsafe-certified package.
“igxglobal has distinguished itself by providing the solutions and expertise their clients need in order to streamline operations and fortify their security initiatives,” said Media Landry, Vice President of Sales and Partner Relations for igxglobal North America.
“Altor gives us the technology that enables our customers to securely virtualize their environments. igxglobal provides the skills and services that helps our customers get the most out of their investments.”
The number of organizations that have virtualized their data centers and implemented private clouds are experiencing double-digit growth – therefore more critical workloads are taking the form of virtual machines.
Altor ensures that each VM and VM group remains isolated from its neighbors with a continuously applied security policy that ensures proper access and compliance state.
“From our experience with customers, they want to virtualize sooner rather than later, however security concerns are the main roadblock to the efficiency gains and cost savings offered by virtualization platforms,” said Neil Stratz, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Altor.
“With Altor v4.0, igxglobal offers its customers the most in depth view of their virtualized environment and the highest protection. igxglobal’s expertise in implementing and optimizing virtualized data centers is what our customers are looking for in a provider of comprehensive and secure cloud-computing solutions.”
