Improving Operational Efficiency virtualization data center is the key

Virtualization aims to make it operations more efficient, make it functions and enterprises more elastic, and use less resources to do more things. However, in the world of virtualization, security is often a type of resistance, which affects operational efficiency and increases unnecessary costs.

Virtualization Problems

There are many security solutions that cannot be used to solve the virtualization problem at all. Generally, a normal configuration may have dozens or even hundreds of virtual machines. However, they treat virtualized data centers as traditional IT environments, the agent is still installed on each machine, which may cause serious consequences.

Forcing traditional security solutions into a virtual data center also results in a shortage of human resources. This will not only affect work efficiency, but may also cause security issues. Because most enterprises have multiple security products to manage on the same Virtual Machine Management Program, they all have their own user interfaces. However, many products from the same manufacturer do not have a central management console. When deployed and continuously monitored for security, repetitive operations may occur. Obviously, this is an inefficient and high-cost solution.

Security of modern data centers

This is why Trend Micro has considered virtualization since its design of deepsecurity. Resource-intensive tasks must be handed over to Virtual Devices (Virtual appliance) or a single multi-functional agent to reduce the risk of security storms and improve the integration rate of virtual machines. Automated virtual patching protection can enable the gap in real time to ensure that all virtual machines receive the latest security updates, thus reducing operation overhead. A single management console can manage proxy-less and proxy-based security options across all environments at the same time, further simplifying data center management and reducing costs.

Further steps

We also have more ways to improve the efficiency of virtualized data centers. We need to ensure that the Operation Team has real-time visibility into the security status of the entire data center, including the physical, virtual, and cloud environments. The customer needs security control unrelated to all factors, that is, the entity, virtual, and cloud have a common command and control, as well as distributed force capabilities and general reports. Trend Micro can meet this architecture, allowing enterprises to operate efficiently, securely, and healthily.
