Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 Delivers Unrivaled Security with Fastest Performance

March 2nd, 2011 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Security Solutions, Server Virtualization, Small Business Virtualization, Virtual Infrastructure

Symantec announces new versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (currently in beta), providing businesses of all sizes with advanced protection while improving system performance. Complete with advanced features to secure virtual infrastructures and powered by Insight, Symantec’s award-winning community and cloud-based reputation technology, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 is designed to detect and block sophisticated new threats earlier and more accurately than any other security product.

Security threats have become more sophisticated and more widespread, creating a challenge for traditional signature-based security solutions. Last year, attackers unleashed more than 286 million distinct malicious programs, an average of more than nine new threats every second of every day. This explosion in malware scope and complexity is due in large part to the proliferation of easy-to-use attack toolkits—such as Zeus—which lower the barrier of entry in cybercrime. These toolkits enable hackers to continuously generate new mutated malware variants, each targeting a different victim, making traditional discovery and fingerprinting of these threats nearly impossible. According to Symantec’s Attack Toolkits and Malicious Websites Report, at least 61 percent of threat activity can be attributed to attack toolkits. As these toolkits grow in popularity, the trend towards millions of narrowly distributed, high impact threats will continue. Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 leverages Insight to provide unmatched protection against this new threat landscape.

Key Benefits

  • Unrivaled Security: Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 blocks new and unknown threats missed by traditional signature, heuristic, behavioral and HIPS-based security solutions. All of the product’s security engines are now reputation-enabled, leveraging Insight’s online reputation database to identify and block malware attacks. Symantec’s Insight has analyzed the anonymous software adoption patterns from more than 175 million customer computers to automatically derive highly accurate security ratings for more than 2.5 billion unique software files—Insight has ratings for virtually every software file, good or bad in existence. In addition, SONAR 3, the world’s first hybrid behavioral-reputation engine, blocks zero-day and highly targeted threats based on their joint behavior-reputation profile. As part of a commissioned test, the leading security testing organization, AV-Test.org, recently compared a number of major endpoint security products on their effectiveness in blocking new threats as well as cleaning up pre-existing infections. Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 (beta) received the top score against all tested competitors in both categories.
  • Fastest Performance: Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 leverages cloud-based community intelligence to reduce the overhead of virus scanning by as much as 70 percent by using Symantec Insight to automatically identify and whitelist trusted high-reputation files, resulting in fewer, faster and smarter scans. The new, Insight-driven compatible scan engine is also designed to do most of its work while computers are idle. In the latest roundup of PassMark Software’s performance test of enterprise and small business security solutions, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 reported the fastest scan speed and was found to be twice as fast as the average security solution. Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 also used the least memory,57 percent less memory usage than the average security solution.
  • Built for Virtual Environments: Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 offers comprehensive defense against all types of attacks and is optimized for performance on virtual systems. Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 can whitelist baseline images, maintain a local Insight cache, randomize scans and updates, and automatically identify and manage virtual clients. This is above and beyond the performance improvements gained with Insight. Together these innovations dramatically reduce the load on virtual hosts, alleviating ‘AV Storms’/concurrent scans from bogging down system resources and allowing for faster, more responsive systems, which can in turn support greater density of virtual instances. Symantec is working closely with VMware to take full advantage of virtualization awareness and introspection capabilities based on VMware vShield™ technology and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 is the first step along the optimization path for virtual environments.
  • Small Business Edition: Leveraging Insight and Sonar 3, Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition offers enterprise-class threat detection technologies and performance improvements with simple to use features such as an installation wizard, pre-configured policy settings and automated notifications and reports for small business customers. Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition meets small business needs with the fastest, most effective anti-malware capabilities in the industry. Small businesses will have peace of mind that their data is safe from cybercriminals, so that they can stay focused on growing their businesses.

Beta Registration and Availability

Presently, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 is in an invitation-only beta and is expected to be available for public beta in April 2011. The new versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 are scheduled to be generally available later this year and can be purchased through Symantec’s worldwide network of value-added authorized resellers, distributors and systems integrators or directly.

Citrix Extends Client Virtualization

August 30th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Citrix, Citrix Solutions, Small Business Virtualization, Virtual Desktop Management, Virtual Workstation, Virtualization

Virtualization software maker Citrix Systems last week unveiled the word’s first bare-metal client hypervisor, announced a new version of its server virtualization platform and welcomed news from several partners.

Citrix used its annual Synergy show, held this year in San Francisco, to let partners and customers know that it is aiming to extend its ecosystem.

The new XenClient product is a “super fast, 64-bit, bad-to-the bone hypervisor — a true Type 1 hypervisor that bonds to the laptop and delivers a bare metal experience to the apps, OS and things that run on top of it,” said Citrix CEO Mark Templeton, speaking in his keynote address. The company made an “express kit” trial version available for download and promised general availability later this year.

“Desktop virtualization is going mainstream,” Templeton said. “It’s becoming more and more of the fabric of enterprise computing.” Computer makers Dell and Hewlett-Packard disclosed plans at the show to roll out new laptops designed to support the new XenClient hypervisor. The bare-metal client hypervisor is essentially the same technology used on servers, but designed for a client machine.

Although it’s possible to use a server hypervisor on a client machine, it’s not made for that hardware, hence it lacks support for USB devices, graphics accelerators and other features essential to the client. Templeton declared that XenClient would “change the game” by adding a local hypervisor to the laptop, allowing a single-client box to run multiple VMs.

The advantages of running multiple VMs on a single corporate laptop are myriad: A user can, for example, keep personal computing files and apps on a corporate laptop securely isolated in a separate VM. IT can provide a temporary employee or contractor with VM loaded with corporate apps.

And client-side hypervisors make provisioning to mobile client machines much simpler. “People forget that last [point],” said Ovum senior analyst Tim Stammers. “But if you talk to IT departments, they’ll tell you making images for machines is a real pain. The local hypervisor solves that problem.”

Both Citrix and rival virtualization company VMware promised in 2008 to deliver a client-side hypervisor in 2009. “The fact that they were both late shows that this is very hard stuff,” Stammers said.

Native Bare Metal Hypervisor

XenClient is a Type 1 hypervisor, a native hypervisor that runs on bare metal. Existing Type 2 hypervisors, which have been around for a long time and allow users to do things like run Windows on a Mac (such as Player and Parallels), aren’t as secure as the native versions, Stammers said. Type 2s run on an operating system that can be hacked.

The XenClient was developed in collaboration with chip maker Intel, and optimized for Intel Core 2 desktops and laptops with its vPro technology. The hypervisor serves as “a foundation for centrally managed OS/user environments to be streamed, cached and executed locally on desktop/laptop devices, including off-network mobility,” the two companies said in a statement.

According to sources close to the company, VMware is concentrating on refining its Type 2 virtualization technology, rather than pursing a bare-metal client strategy. VMware had not returned calls for comment at press time. But Stammers believes that VMware will probably come out with a native client hypervisor later this year.

Conference attendee Larry Cohen, a systems administrator for a Silicon Valley manufacturer he preferred not to name, was impressed by the XenClient technology, but said he wished the company would focus more on XenCenter, the company’s XenServer management console. In particular, he’d like to see a better event viewer and logging capabilities. “It would make troubleshooting issues on the physical hardware a lot easier,” Cohen said.

Server Upgrade

Citrix also launched XenServer 5.6 at the show. The latest version of its server virtualization platform mainly fills in some gaps in the previous version, Stammer said. Memory management was one of the key enhancements, he said, but also pointed to new features in the Enterprise and Platinum editions, including automatic work-load balancing, power management and storage integration with StorageLink, Citrix’s platform for providing linking server virtualization to storage resources.

“This market has become a constant race to add tools,” Stammer said. “I often say that server virtualization gives you great flexibility, but flexibility can tie you in knots. So we do need these tools, and different shops need different tools.”

XenServer 5.6 comes in four editions: Free, Advanced, Enterprise and Platinum. Each edition provides additional features.

The free version of XenServer has become an “entryway for new virtualization customers” for Citrix, said IDC analayst Al Gillen. IDC is seeing a growing number of infrastructure vendors using the “free-plus-premium”offering strategy (sometimes called “freemium”) to build market share, Gillen said. 

Stammer applauded both Citrix releases, but said that the future of XenServer is uncertain. Increasingly, this market looks like it’s going to come down to Microsoft’s Hyper-V and VMware ESX, he said. He points to statements by Citrix executives, who as recently as 18 months ago, said that in the future most of Citrix’s business will come from the sale of tools used to manage Hyper-V.

HP Readies XenClient Notebooks

HP made a splash at the show with demos of the industry’s first Citrix-ready XenClient platforms. “Using a local hypervisor, the ability to bring the virtual machine down and run it locally, allows you to be productive whether you’re connected or not,” said Jeff Groudan, director of thin client solutions for HP’s person systems group. “So you have the mobility, but also a lot of the management capabilities inherent of VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure), such as being able to manage the image centrally.”

HP also gave a nod to Adobe’s recently beleaguered Flash technology with an enhancement of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6. RDP 6 is one of the most common VDI protocols used by VMware View and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services environments, but it doesn’t Flash natively. The RDP Enhancements for Flash is a component that runs on the thin client machine and allows the server to redirect the Flash content down to the client, which also decompresses the file.

“One of the challenges of client virtualization, whether it’s Citrix or someone else’s VDI environment, is they don’t handle Flash very elegantly,” Groudan said. “The experience may not be very good, or it may overly load down the server when they do the decompression for the thin client. The RDP Enhancements fix that problem.

“It was clear to us that complexity of client virtualization has been an inhibitor of growth in this area, Groudan added. “So we have a laser focus on simplifying the process, but also on optimizing the end-user experience.”

HP also unveiled VDI reference architectures for XenDesktop and XenServer at the Synergy event. Joseph George, client virtualization business lead for HP’s infrastructure software and blades division, said the reference architectures are the fruit of his company’s ongoing strategy of “converged infrastructure.” HP believes that that strategy can accelerate the delivery of client virtualization.

“We’ve got the best portfolio out there when it comes to converged infrastructure and client virtualization,” he said. “And the expertise we have in our ranks has allowed us to put together these new reference architectures.”

The new HP and Citrix VDI reference architectures provide the functionality of a stand-alone desktop, George said, while enabling unified management of both physical and virtual infrastructures from the same centralized console.

The HP/Citrix VDI solution supports more than 1,000 users of XenDesktop 4.0, XenServer 5.5 or Provisioning Server 5.1, George said. It leverages HP BladeSystem’s c-Class or HP ProLiant servers with HP Flex-10 technology, HP storage and networking and a choice of HP t5740 or HP t5325 thin client machines.

The big gadget news at the event came from Dell CEO and founder Michael Dell, who surprised conference attendees by officially unveiling his company’s new mini-tablet PC during his keynote. It was actually more of a teaser than an unveiling of the device a MID (mobile Internet device) dubbed The Streak, which Dell casually pulled from his pocket while onstage.

“The device we use to access our information shouldn’t matter anymore,” Dell said. “Whether it’s a phone, or a notebook, a netbook or a desktop PC, your client image can follow you everywhere.” Dell then took the wraps off The Streak, which was loaded with the Android OS and Citrix’s virtual desktop software. Dell said The Streak would be available first in Europe in June, with a U.S. launched planned for later this summer. The carrier will be AT&T.

Symantec – Data Protection Solutions

May 26th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Data Protection, Security Solutions, Small Business Virtualization, Storage Solutions

Summary

While small and midsize businesses don’t typically generate the same amount of data that larger enterprises do, they still need the same kind of protection to ensure the timely recovery of essential business data

A recent survey has found that while small and midsize businesses are grappling with explosive data growth, the backup processes they have in place often put that data at risk.
The survey, by Rubicon Consulting, found that 92% of companies have deployed some form of data backup technology, yet 50% of them have lost data. Of the companies that lost data, approximately one-third lost sales, 20% lost customers, and one-quarter claimed the data loss caused severe disruptions to the company.
The survey also found that concerns about potential data loss run high among SMBs. Respondents rated backup as their second-highest computing priority, after defense against viruses and other malware, and ahead of issues like reducing costs and deploying new computers. And yet nearly one-third of SMBs surveyed do nothing to back up their PCs.
This article looks at some of the top backup challenges SMBs face today and the steps they need to take to ensure that their backup practices keep pace with their data growth.

Top backup challenges

While small and midsize businesses don’t typically generate the same amount of data that larger enterprises do, they still need the same kind of protection to ensure the timely recovery of essential business data. Given their smaller budgets and lack of technical expertise compared with larger enterprises, SMBs require solutions that are both cost-effective and easy to use. A recent study by the TANEJA Group emphasized that point when it identified the top challenges SMBs face today with regard to data protection:

  • Implementing comprehensive protection with minimal impact on business operations. It is estimated that data volumes are increasing by as much as 50% per year. At the same time, the demand for higher system availability is shrinking backup windows. Together, these trends are placing greater pressure on small and midsize businesses to improve backup efficiencies and deliver prompt Microsoft Windows data and system recovery. Gone are the days when critical systems could be shut down to perform backup operations.
  • Meeting increasingly stringent backup and recovery requirements. The requirements to recover lost or corrupt data to a specific point in time and reduce the overall time to restore data are becoming more stringent and are now often measured in hours instead of days. Increasingly, tape-based backup infrastructures are unable to meet these requirements.
  • Dealing with limited backup administration resources. This is a key issue particularly with smaller companies that may not have dedicated IT staff. But even larger SMBs rarely have a dedicated backup admin. According to the TANEJA Group study, “a large percentage of critical data is generated by distributed clients, and an inability to protect this data can leave SMBs open to data loss that can have a significant impact on the business.”
  • Deploying disaster recovery strategies cost-effectively. As the Rubicon Consulting survey made clear, data protection practices aren’t where they should be for most SMBs. Too often SMBs lack the resources, administrative expertise, and off-site storage required to provide true disaster recovery capabilities. Plus, as a disturbing number of news stories has made clear, the legacy practice of backing up to tape can be fraught with risk.
  • Leveraging new technologies non-disruptively. Because SMB have significant investments in their infrastructures and processes, they are unlikely to deploy new technologies unless this can be done without disrupting day-to-day business operations.
  • Maintaining a secure backup and recovery environment. The TANEJA Group is unequivocal on this topic: “SMBs need to think about this issue in two areas: providing adequate security including encryption and virus protection, plus centralized management of an entire data protection infrastructure, ensuring backup data both in-flight and at rest is protected and efficiently managed.”

Meeting backup challenges

SMB environments may not need the scale provided by enterprise backup and recovery solutions, but they do need much of the functionality. That means policy-based backups, automated operations, and centralized management should be key design tenets to help lightly staffed SMBs effectively manage system and data protection operations. Integrated disaster recovery capabilities, meanwhile, make it easier to rapidly restore complete systems. And newer technologies such as disk-based backup, snapshot backups, data deduplication, continuous data protection, and cloud-based backup options can help SMBs address shrinking backup windows, increasingly stringent RPOs/RTOs (recovery point objectives/recovery time objectives), and recovery reliability concerns.

Backup Exec for Windows Small Business Server is Symantec’s data protection solution for Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Standard and Premium Editions. Easy to install and manage, Backup Exec for Windows Small Business Server includes many valuable features with the core license:

  • Provides continuous disk-based data protection and automated disaster recovery for Microsoft Windows Small Business Server
  • Optimizes both tape and disk storage environments
  • Provides complete data protection of physical and virtual server environments
  • Supports fast and efficient backups and granular restores, allowing administrators to restore individual Microsoft Exchange email messages, Microsoft SharePoint documents, and Microsoft Active Directory user preferences in seconds
  • Offers continuous data protection for desktops and laptops, providing point-in-time recovery
  • Allows users to easily restore their own files, saving IT administration resources
  • Ensures that all data is backed up even while files are open.

Symantec Online Storage for Backup Exec

Symantec Online Storage extends the key capabilities of Backup Exec, adding the ability to store copies of backups in secure, redundant data centers managed by Symantec. Online Storage gives businesses a secure, cost-effective option for storing backup data off-site without the inconvenience and cost of tape vaulting services or other forms of off-site tape storage.

To use Symantec Online Storage, administrators simply connect to the Symantec Protection Network portal through the Backup Exec console, create an account, and select a service plan that meets their off-site storage requirements. The cost of the service is based on total storage consumed, with pricing by storage tiers. Businesses can upgrade storage tiers as their needs grow. The cost of the service can be controlled by limiting the amount of data stored in Symantec’s data centers.

Conclusion

For small and midsize businesses, where money and staff time are at a premium, there is always something more pressing to do than manage backups. But as data volumes increase, so too does the risk of irrevocable harm to a company’s bottom line if that data isn’t protected. SMBs should look for solutions from a trusted provider that offer simplified management and the ability to scale as their business grows.
