Wipro, Trend Micro Unite For Virtualisation Security Solns

Trend Micro has partnered with Wipro Technologies to offer next-generation virtualisation security solutions for dynamic datacentres. The goal of the partnership is to develop solutions that help secure public and private cloud computing environments that are being increasingly challenged to deliver operational cost savings, while still ensuring the security and compliance of critical IT assets.

As part of this strategic agreement, Wipro and Trend Micro are jointly building Centers of Excellence to address the challenging data protection, security and compliance needs of today’s virtualised datacenters, as well as the growing market demand for server consolidation.

Wipro and Trend Micro will provide joint virtualised data center security, as well as datacentre consolidation solutions using next-generation security products from Trend Micro and other mutual partners. This initiative will align with current services from Wipro such as data security, managed security monitoring, managed network and host infrastructure security operations, and managed unified threat and vulnerability managed services. Under the agreement, Wipro becomes a global reseller of Trend Micro products that encompass threat management, Web, messaging, server and endpoint security.

“By working closely with Trend Micro, we’ll be better able to address the operational security requirements of our datacentre customers, and meet their business demands for efficiency and cost savings,” said Prasenjit Saha, Vice President and Global Head, Enterprise Security Solutions, Wipro.

“Most datacentres are employing virtualisation technology these days. But without a virtualisation security strategy, these dynamic datacenters are less secure than their physical counterparts,” said Wael Mohamed, Senior VP, Business Development, Trend Micro. “We have entered into a strategic relationship with Wipro for their global expertise in technology services. This agreement allows us to create ‘security that fits’ – customisable, scalable solutions that enable enterprises to protect confidential data and take advantage of the benefits of virtualisation and cloud computing without compromising the security of their dynamic datacentres.”
