HP Strengthens Security Across Physical and Virtual Environments New solutions help ensure business continuity in a Converged Infrastructure

Dr. Beng Teck Liang (right), Managing Director and General Manager of HP Enterprise Business and Mr. Sakchai Punyajaray (left) Director, HP Networking, HP Enterprise Business of Hewlett-Packard (Thailand) Ltd announced new high-performance security solutions designed to prevent network breaches in a Converged Infrastructure by delivering comprehensive data protection across both physical and virtual environments. The HP TippingPoint Secure Virtualization Framework (SVF) is a suite of products designed to help prevent network threats from impacting virtualized environments. The TippingPoint Virtual Controller (vController), the first product introduced under the SVF, extends TippingPoint security protection from physical to virtual networks by routing it through an HP TippingPoint N-Platform Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) appliance. The vController prevents security attacks by inspecting all VM traffic as it moves through the network – either between VMs or from VMs to traditional servers. Additional vController benefits include: — Increased network security by extending HP’s automated threat-prevention capabilities to virtual environments. — Reduced deployment complexity by enabling customers to extend the same processes, tools and expertise used in securing their physical environments to their virtual infrastructures. — Simplified management of network security by providing single-pane-of-glass management, visibility and control across both physical and virtual networks. HP also has expanded its security product line with the introduction of the new HP TippingPoint Reputation Digital Vaccine service (Rep DV). Rep DV ensures that customer-deployed IPS solutions have the most current and accurate list of malicious or suspicious websites and blocks traffic to or from these sites automatically. The list of sites is updated every two hours and powered by HP’s DVLabs, the industry-leading security research and development organization that, through its community of researchers, partners and customers, has been credited with discovering more security vulnerabilities than any other lab in the industry.(1) Industry-leading network security solutions HP introduced two new HP TippingPoint S-series solutions that further extend network security from local area networks to the core of the data center for both physical and virtual domains. Benefits include: — Flexible deployment of network protection with the HP TippingPoint S1200N IPS A7500 Module, which delivers advanced HP Tipping Point IPS security inspection in a blade. The module provides another way for inspections to work with existing HP A7500 switches and integrates security directly into the network device. — Enhanced security across the network with the HP TippingPoint S1500 SSL Appliance, a dedicated solution for decrypting and re-encrypting Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) website traffic. This allows encrypted network traffic to be inspected for malicious content, helping ensure that suspicious activity can be immediately addressed. Enabling converged networks These solutions complement HP’s new server-edge connectivity offerings, also announced today. The offerings include the new HP Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) module for the HP A5820 data center switch, which converges storage and network top-of-rack switches as well as dedicated server and storage network adapters to dramatically reduce connectivity complexity at the server edge.
