Tripwire Joins VMware Technology Alliance Partner Program, Easing Management of Virtual Environments
PORTLAND, OR-- Tripwire® today announced that the company
has joined the VMware Technology Alliance Partner Program to further help
IT organizations ensure successful operation of their virtual environments.
Tripwire Enterprise 7 assures control of all configuration change across
VMware instances in order to provide continuous operational, regulatory and
security compliance.
According to Andi Mann, Research Director at Enterprise Management
Associates, "Virtualization certainly brings real benefits to business
users. But, it can cause issues as well for organizations that do not
implement policy-based management tools to administer this new environment.
As virtualization increases the risk associated with system failures and
'accidental' downtime, it is more important than ever to detect and control
configuration change within this dynamic datacenter."
Assure Continuous Compliance across Virtual Environments
Tripwire Enterprise provides support for VMware environments to enable
management of the virtual datacenter. Tripwire Enterprise does so by
helping establish and enforce effective change and configuration management
processes. Tripwire is the only company to deliver change audit and
configuration assessment in one solution to ensure that change and
configuration management policies and processes are not circumvented,
helping ensure a known and operationally compliant state within the data
center. Tripwire monitors the virtual environment for all changes across
the hypervisor and its agents. Without Tripwire, unplanned change could
easily find its way into the data center, corrupting the known state,
eventually resulting in configurations slowly moving from a known and
trusted state, to an ambiguous, undocumented and perhaps even fragile
condition.
VMware Technology Alliance Partner Program
As a member of the VMware TAP program, Tripwire will provide configuration
audit and control solutions to VMware enterprise customers looking for
greater control, visibility, accountability, and proof of compliance within
the virtualized datacenter. This combined solution enables IT to treat a
virtual server like any other server when it comes to configuration
control. Tripwire Enterprise monitors VMware virtual servers by immediately
detecting unauthorized change, allowing IT to quickly intervene to minimize
the risk associated with system changes.
Delivering on its promise to help IT address issues of data center
complexity, Tripwire is continuously extending its platform to embrace the
promise of technologies such as virtualization. Tripwire is focused on
helping IT effectively and efficiently ensure these new environments are in
a known, good and compliant state, protecting them against the consequences
of unplanned and unauthorized change. Tripwire plans to continue to
announce additional services, added functionality, and partnerships to
deliver on this strategy.
