| Overview : |
The benefits of virtualization far outweigh the challenges, and the rapid rate of adoption of platforms like VMware proves this to be true.
Still, challenges remain. Security patching of servers currently plagues the virtual world much as it does the physical, but presents a slightly unique set of problems. The solution to maintaining these virtual environments is to apply the same concept of virtualization to the security patch.
PatchPoint is Blue Lane's appliance-based solution for protection physical and virtual servers, capable of replicating the function of the software security patch on the network wire. PatchPoint creates a completely trusted domain in which virtual machines can be protected regardless of their state. |
