for Improving Cost, Management and Security Over Traditional Desktop Computing
Models

HOPKINTON, Mass., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC, the world leader in information
infrastructure solutions (NYSE: EMC), today announced a range of new products,
solutions and services designed to enhance the value of the VMware View(TM) 4
desktop virtualization solutions. These offerings provide organizations with
new technology capabilities, along with consulting services and actionable
guidance to apply EMC(®) management and security controls for hosted virtual
desktop environments.

Businesses across many industries and government entities are deploying hosted
virtual desktops using VMware View solutions to centralize management, improve
security, increase operational efficiencies, and address compliance.
Centralizing the management of employees' desktop and laptop environments
through virtualization and applying security controls such as strong
authentication, data loss prevention, security information and event
management along with management controls such as server configuration
management, helps ensure key company and government assets remain available,
shareable and secure.

"VMware View(TM) fundamentally transforms how desktops are managed within
enterprises by enabling them to be delivered as a managed service," said
Jocelyn Goldfein, vice president and general manager, Desktop Business Unit,
VMware. "Together with EMC, we are enabling a complete set of services along
with tested storage, security and management solutions that help enterprises
increase agility and accelerate time to value while reducing desktop
management costs."

EMC Storage Infrastructure for VMware View(TM)

The combination of EMC(®) unified storage solutions and VMware View Composer
products enables customers to deploy hosted virtual desktops at competitive
pricing to traditional desktops while adding operational efficiencies,
reducing storage costs, providing higher availability, and increasing
flexibility that delivers greater overall business value. Greater
efficiencies and cost savings are possible by leveraging additional EMC
product features and technologies such as data deduplication and Enterprise
Flash Disk drives.

Deploying VMware View on EMC's industry-leading unified storage systems
provides a fully optimized infrastructure with high levels of availability and
disaster recovery capabilities. Leveraging PC over IP also enables a robust
desktop experience for end users.

For businesses and government organizations seeking expertise in leveraging
VMware View(TM) based on EMC information infrastructure and customer
deployment best practices, EMC offers comprehensive consulting services that
accelerate projects, guarantee outcomes, and integrate VMware and EMC
technologies together. An example presented at VMworld 2009 based on a
customer project was the intellectual property to integrate VMware View
Composer, VMware vCenter(TM) Site Recovery Manager and EMC Replication
technologies -- for turnkey disaster recovery for virtualized clients.

"Desktop virtualization holds tremendous promise for improved controls,
management and security compared to traditional desktop and laptop
environments. Together, EMC and VMware are working to bring the full range of
these efficiency, management, agility and security benefits to customers,"
said Chad Sakac, EMC Vice President, VMware Technology Alliance. "Key examples
of this collaboration, including those announced today, will help customers
transition to or expand their virtual desktop environments smoothly and with
minimal risk."

New Solution from EMC's RSA Security Division

Securing endpoints such as laptops and desktops to reduce security risks such
as accidental data loss, theft or inappropriate access to sensitive
information and applications is one of the biggest challenges in IT today.
Another cornerstone of the new EMC offerings to combat these risks is the RSA®
Solution for VMware View, an integrated set of RSA and EMC(®) Ionix(®)
technologies which, in conjunction with VMware View, enhance management and
security of virtualized desktops. As part of the solution, RSA announced the
RSA SecurBook(TM) for VMware View solution, which provides detailed guidance
for deploying and administering key security controls in hosted virtual
desktop environments. Specifically, the RSA SecurBook solution details how
businesses may integrate RSA(®) Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint, RSA
enVision(®) technology, RSA(®) SecurID(®) authentication and EMC Ionix Server
Configuration Manager within a VMware View environment.

"RSA SecurBook for VMware View(TM) is designed to provide business users with
a conceptual guide to think about endpoint security in a hosted virtual
desktop environment and can also help bridge the gap between business and
security professionals," said Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst, Enterprise
Strategy Group, who authored a new white paper titled Desktop Virtualization
Management, and Security. "This type of guidance puts organizations in a
position to maximize the operational and security benefits from virtual
desktop investments."

Technology capabilities delivered as part of the RSA solution include:

-- Ensuring Data Confidentiality: As part of the solution for VMware
View,
RSA now addresses the risk of sensitive data leakage by delivering
integration with the RSA DLP Suite. Specifically, with RSA DLP
Endpoint, administrators can configure data detection policies to
discover sensitive information and enforce controls across all
workstations in the enterprise from a centralized location.
-- Monitoring Security Events and Demonstrating Compliance: The RSA
enVision security information and event management (SIEM) platform now
delivers the ability to monitor user and administrator actions within
VMware View. In addition, the RSA enVision platform is designed to
monitor and report on the VMware vSphere(TM) environment to enable
organizations to make better security decisions based on more accurate
and timely security intelligence.

-- Establishing Trusted Identities: RSA SecurID two-factor authentication
provides an added layer of security to ensure the right user can
access
the relevant virtual session and the most sensitive content within the
virtual desktop environment. Specifically, RSA SecurID is engineered
to
integrate with VMware View to enable customers to enforce strong
authentication to the VMware View portal and with the VMware ESX
Service
Console to protect administrative access.

In addition, EMC Ionix Server Configuration Manager (SCM) has been documented
in the RSA SecurBook solution to support managing changes and configurations
within the VMware View environment. EMC Ionix SCM offers organizations tools
to automate the process of identifying configuration changes that violate
policy to help reduce security risk. The software is designed to monitor
virtual desktops, send automatic alerts, and can remediate configuration
problems when systems need to be fine-tuned to ensure compliance or service
levels. EMC Ionix SCM combines discovery, policy management,
change/remediation, and reporting to increase operational efficiency, decrease
costs, and ensure secure, compliant and up-to-date configurations across
physical and virtualized desktop and server environments
