Being Selected as a Start-up to Watch — “Beyond VMware”

Posted in Blog

In April, we were selected by two different publications as a “start-up to watch” in virtualization and cloud computing: CRN wrote that Intigua enables “the software-defined data center (SDDC) and setting up organizations for IT-as-a-service (ITaaS)” by using “virtual containers to speed provisioning and updating of agents” while “improving uptime, performance and security.” In an [...]

Delivering “IT as a Service” and the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC)

Posted in Blog, Cloud Computing, Cloud Management, Systems Management Virtualization, Virtualization

There was a thought-provoking post on the VMware vCloud Blog this month about delivering IT as a Service (ITaaS). Sure, “ITaaS” sounds like it could be just another buzzword.  But it’s helpful in describing the business value of cloud computing – namely the power to “quickly and reliably respond to constantly changing business needs” and empower IT [...]

Posted in Blog, Cloud Computing, Cloud Management, Cloud Security, Virtualization, Virtualization Security

Last week, I came across an interesting blog post written by John Treadway (who launched the CloudBzz blog in 2009) where he asks IT pros an important question about the promise of self-service clouds: Can your private cloud deliver a VM in 5-10 minutes? So often when we’re talking to customers and prospects, they answer [...]

Posted in Blog, Cloud Computing, Cloud Management, Cloud Security, Virtualization, Virtualization Security

Just a few short years ago, a line-of-business request to provision a new server would strike fear in the hearts of system administrators struggling to manage physical datacenters. Virtualization has radically eased those pains, putting servers and storage just a few mouse clicks away. However, infrastructure monitoring, management and security technologies have not kept pace [...]

Addressing Agile Security by Virtualizing the Management Layer (Part 1 of 2)

Posted in Cloud Computing, Cloud Management, Cloud Security, Virtualization, Virtualization Security

Last week we read about how the New York Times was hacked in a dramatic APT-style attack that was neither detectable by their anti-virus solution, nor preventable via traditional perimeter security (as the Times CSO said, “Attackers no longer go after our firewall.”). The next day, we learned that the Wall Street Journal also was [...]
