Complementary technologies from these technology alliance partners promises to arm organisations with tools to virtualise with confidence.
CA Technologies and HyTrust, which provides solutions for policy management and access control for virtual infrastructure, has announced a collaboration to further improve security and compliance for customers leveraging virtualized systems and cloud infrastructures.
HyTrust Appliance complements CA Access Control by administering various aspects of a virtual infrastructure such as unified access control, policy enforcement and audit-quality logging.
HyTrust also supports the recently announced CA Automation Suite for Clouds by providing the security policy and compliance capabilities needed to improve security of the cloud infrastructure.
Large enterprises continue to explore the benefits of the cloud based on their experiences with virtualization, according to a December 2010 study conducted by Management Insight on behalf of CA Technologies.
This expansion moves them to a more complex infrastructure that demands more sophisticated and automated management and security.
