McAfee has announced the launch of the new McAfee Data Center Security Suite for Server. The new solution allows organizations to discover and protect all workloads on both private and public cloud environments.

This “elastic security” ensures that all virtual devices are secured from the moment they’re deployed on-premise or in the cloud.

The new solution optimizes the flexibility, security, and manageability of virtual environments with the aid of McAfee’s Management for Optimized Virtual Environments (MOVE) AntiVirus.

“The McAfee MOVE AntiVirus solution has provided us with an excellent resolution for our complex IT infrastructure which contains dozens of assorted operating systems in use,” noted Rick Snyder, Endpoint Security Manager at Boston Scientific.

“Our organization handles sensitive data from customers, vendors, business partners and our own internal activities. Maximizing performance, while continuing protection across multiple internal entities, is a high priority for our IT department, as is providing reporting on its effectiveness,” Snyder added.

“McAfee MOVE has been integral in achieving these simultaneous goals by giving us the ability to offload all scanning of data into a gateway virtual appliance. This streamlined and efficient approach saves resources and maintains our security posture.”

The new security suite comes with the following benefits: it protects both physical and virtual machines in hybrid data centers, computational capacity can be securely expanded to the private and public cloud, and administrators gain complete visibility to all workloads.

McAfee Data Center Security Suite for Server’s capabilities are being demonstrated at VMworld between August 25-29.

“Enterprises must stay compliant and meet government regulations and that is a typical barrier for organizations who want to move workloads into the cloud,” commented Rishi Bhargava, vice president of data center security at McAfee.

“With McAfee's latest Data Center Server Security Suite and its elastic security, enterprises are now empowered to do just that. McAfee provides comprehensive security from servers to networking to storage.”
